I live on a twenty acre farm in the deserts of the western United States. My family and I moved to the farm when I was ten, and what an adventure it has been since! In our time on the farm we have had cows, goats, chickens, turkeys, pigs, guinea hens, dogs and cats. We try to practice earth friendly farming, which includes no-till gardening and rotational grazing. Along with farming, I help mentor a theater class of super awesome kids.
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. In my family it is a sort of tradition (we do it some years) to read A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens before Christmas. We didn't this year, but I revisited some of my favorite parts, the last stave, the "mankind was my business" speech and some of the parts with the ghost of Christmas Present. It was a lovely visit back to old favorites. Merry Christmas to you all!
