We need to find meaning. We need to be useful. We need to know that who we are matters. I give, you give, we all give.
Lisa A says: Merry Christmas Maryjane and family!
Nielsen,Winifred T. says: Your Blue Jays are really stunning with that navy cap.
Have a wonderful Christmas weekend, MaryJane! I hope Santa stops by the farm and jams with the Jerseys and chickens at midnight. Maybe make sure there are enough carrots out for the reindeers, cows, and chickens to celebrate. Now that I think about it, Santa might really enjoy a healthy snack as well.~**wink**

It is good for your area that a good snow season has launched this Winter. It will help raise water tables and replenish the soil for an even greener growing season come April. Plus, it looks so pretty with the brown grass stubbles and blue skies.
