It looks like a Christmas card around here.
We’ve been moving cows around. The main herd is within ten
minutes of the house. They’re grazing stockpiled feed saved since July. Seems nice not having to haul hay to them over the kids’ Christmas break, though that seems like a waste of young, strong backs. The calves, however, are on full feed. Seems like there’s always chores on
a ranch at Christmas time.
Someone in a card we received called this the “season of
reflection.” I like that. We’re giving thanks for a year that’s closing, reviewing
our blessings and thinking about those around us who could use a hand. We’ve
hunkered down, living in close quarters, keeping the fire going.
Merry Christmas!
