The photo above was dated 1959, and was left behind from the previous owners, the Nichols family. Records show that our house and barn were built in 1862, and sometimes it's mind boggling to think how many memories were made here during the holidays over the years. How many icy cold hands did the winter chores, and chopped the firewood, and baked the Christmas cookies; how many dreams of spring through the bitter Pulaski winters. And how many more our family will add to that.
As we head into our third season here on the farm and get closer to the Winter Solstice and new year, we are still harvesting, both out of the field and the greenhouses. The lilacs have leaf buds, the strawberries have blossoms, garlic's popping up, and the crocuses are starting to sprout. Usually this time of year the farm goes into quasi-hibernation mode, but with the new greenhouse's heat set up and the mild weather we've had, we've been keeping busy! (I'd like to think the land's predecessors are blessing our enterprise this December.)

Every year for the past 10 years (since our son, Adonia was a baby), my mother, Joan, has used images of her grandchildren in fantastical winter scenes for her annual handmade Christmas cards, and here's this year's card; wishing tidings of peace on earth and the child-like wonder of nature in all her seasons.
