sun up

to hibernate

There are four distinct seasons in Wisconsin...
we now prepare for one of the hardest.

But, there is a part of me ready to hunker down, to be forced inside...
to hibernate.

                     There is still beauty all around us!  

my dear hearts

I sit here typing, kitten in my lap...my dear Lucy.

I have learned that our farm would be empty if there

were not dear sweet furry souls that shared it with us.

We buried one of our dearest hearts on Friday...our 

Taffy goat.  She called Meadowview Farm home for 

almost 10 years (a long life for a goat).  When we 

brought her home, we promised to make her life a 

happy life.  We promised to care for her.  In turn, we 

received such love back.  So, tears for a soft white 

sweet girl goat.  May her memory be for a blessing.
