Happy Holidays!

 

 Happy Holidays from Alewive Farm! As winter gains a foothold, and the water buckets start to fill with ice overnight, we settle into a more reflective frame of mind--that's code for sitting near the wood stove with a warm drink and a good book :-) The ice skates are ready for the pond to freeze and the x-country skis are on the front porch waiting the first snow.

 

Wishing you all the very best for the holidays and Hope for the New Year!  

First Snow

The first snow this year arrived on December 2, which felt early, although I recall recent tears we've had snow on Halloween. It didn't last long, within a day or two. There is nothing in the forecast to suggest it will me melting any time soon. time to get out the skis and throw more wood in the stove!
