WELCOME WINTER!

"Winter, a lingering season, is a time to gather golden moments,
embark upon a sentimental journey, and enjoy every idle hour."

I love this quote, Joey! I'm actually looking forward to spending some time indoors catching up on reading and dreaming of next year's garden. Hope you are finding some time to put your feet up and relax--Happy New Year!

Sorry Joey, Old Man Winter has already worn out his welcome here. And there's another storm on the way - relentless, I tell you.


Please try to keep yourself and your chickens, warm, safe and cozy! I hope to see you and your beautiful photography in 2014.
