It's that simple message but full of meaning for many, "Merry Christmas". Or happy season, happy holiday of your homeland or religion, happy winter...from all of us. Earnest the pig has licked all the stamps and sent the cards out and he is spreading Father Christmas energy all around the barnyard. He needs no sleigh.

We have had such warm days, and rain. While I want snow [which supposedly will arrive tomorrow] I have to say the warm weather makes chores easier. And, well, the fowl are extremely happy with their overflowing ponds. I love to look out on the front barn goat paddock at chores and see this scene. To me it is so peaceful. One woman said it looked like one of my paintings and I guess you can say this–they do merge, art and life.
One can see messy mud and mire and leafless trees...or one can revel in the sculpture of the branches and the reflections in earth toned water.
