What do farmers do in winter... I guess that is different for everyone. We are for now hibernating. Aside from taking care of the animals, I'm spending time in my books, formulating herbal concoctions, perfumes, soon it will be soaps. First I want to come up with some nice scent formulas for them, too. Spagyrics have been on my mind, and many ideas demand answers. Homeschooling of course, and getting ready for a nice, quiet Christmas. Just the four of us. Perfect.
Mark found a computer game our oldest played interesting, and they are finally spending time together. He has his full time job of course, his vacation is used up a day at a time on Fridays, during the summer. None left for Winter.
There is still much work to do, maintenance and repairs, building on the coups and yards, but for now it can all wait. We're not going anywhere (who'd take care of the animals, and who can afford it anyway...) but are taking a little vacation from farming. In another week or three, we'll start putting seed orders together, sorting out taxes we've already started on. A little at a time gets it done. And before you know it, we'll be putting the greenhouse up again.
Since my readers seem to hibernate as well right now, I decided to give the blog a vacation, too. Thanks for the phone calls by the way. Nice of you to touch base, just because. We think of all of you, too.
Have a wonderful Christmas, and Holiday season, whichever Holiday you celebrate. May Health, Happiness and Brightest Blessings be yours always.
