happy new year

...to one and all. Here at the farm we spent a quiet day working a little, resting a lot, and relaxing together, the last of which we don't seem to do nearly often enough.

The rabbit was insulated for the winter. (Yes, we're a little behind on that chore, but he doesn't mind the cold weather nearly as much as the hot.)



The sheep were fed and the puppy was introduced to the joys of chasing a soccer ball.



Once we were back inside, away from the bitter wind, we lit a fire, popped some popcorn and had a board game extravaganza.



We really, really, really need to do this sort of thing more often. Maybe that will be my New Year's resolution. I vowed I wasn't going to make any (especially concerning more regular blog posts; no need to set myself up for failure so quickly), but I think this might be a goal worth working toward.
