SNOW!

It snowed!  Just in time for Christmas.  We only got about an inch, but it is beautiful.  Murphy, our new dog, has never seen snow before.  While it was snowing he sat on the porch with his mouth wide open and tongue licking trying to catch the flakes.  Then he walked around licking the snow off the ground.  He is pretty cute.

Merry Christmas to you all!

Happy Thursday!

I wanted to share with y'all a quote that I just found that sings to my heart.  I was looking at the presenters for the Utah Farm Conference.  Vernie DeMille, one of the presenters said this in her bio, "I am the sum of my efforts and not my failures."  Isn't that beautiful?  We are planting elderberry cuttings today, fun times:) I wish you the best!  Happy Thursday!
