December 7:We got our 1st Snow last Night. At just over an Inch, it was that Gentle Teaser telling us quietly but clearly that Winter is now in charge.
The Snow had begun to shift some by the time I went to the Mail Box this morning. I altered my Path toward the White Pines whose Needles and Cones were gently covered with the Fluffy Snow. At this Season, many Humans call this "Flocking" on their artificial and fresh Christmas Trees. That chemical stuff is surely not the same.
Today was Aunt Ruthie's 90th Birthday. Hearing her cheery voice on the Phone was pure delight.
Over the next 2 days, we are projected to get 10 to 12 inches of Snow. It's time to luxuriate in those warm Clothes and Comforters. Some good Books are in order. Cups of Tea or Hot Chocolate will be a wonderful accompaniment to writing Christmas Notes and attending to Christmas gifts. In the meantime, I am not planning any trips off the Farm in the next few days.
We now have the Wood Stove in place on the Hearth in the Living Room. The Room feels warmer already, but the piping is not in place above. We look forward to the completion of this project. That will not happen until the Roof is clear and safe for Workers. But already, that Wood Stove and Rock Wall feel ever so right.
