WINTRY AND WINDY

We’ve had mild weather for a whole week, I think.  Right now it is snowing big fluffy flakes, as it has been all day, and it is 22*.  Yesterday it was 26* with a cool wind. 

Did anyone see the eclipse on Saturday morning?  I mean to see it but overslept, Pat did get up at 4am. and saw some of it. Some say it was  spectacular, but probably not as much as the solar we had earlier. 

Last night, Tom and Brad, took all the teens and young adults out sledding on Johnson Hill.  Brad brought a generator, and Seth brought lights.  They had a bonfire, marshmallows, sleds, and lots of snow.  A good time was had by all. 

We will be cutting up cows and pigs instead of service on Wednesday night. 

  

Jannis spent the weekend at Whitestone.  Then John and Donna Hasz and Jack Fredricks brought her home and stayed for Sunday supper. 

Kevin and Tommy moved a bunch of the cows around on Saturday, separating the moms from the babies.  Now we have mom’s bellowing for their babies at all hours of the day and night. 

Great expectation in the kiddie department for the Christmas season, not that we celebrate it per se, but we do get out of school and the routine is a bit different. Of course caroling is in the offing as usual and it is always the harbinger of NEW YEARS EVE which brings the yearly display of fireworks and staying up all night to greet the near year in. A nice christmas meal of ham has also become a tradition at The Land and various ones put up lights and other seasonal decor which give the place a festive look with the snow...Pat put up the lights on our sentinel black spruce outside our cabin and it looks rather nice all covered with snow.

Not much happening at home, we are all keeping busy with school work and schedule.

Trust all well with you all and hoping you will have a blessed season in the company of good friends, food and family.

Blessings
