Merry Christmas

I feel like such a slaker--so long since I blogged. I just lead a dull, quiet life and feel I have nothing too interesting to say. Have just been enjoying being home for a long spell and puttering around the house. I love this time of year with all the weather changes--you sure don't get bored with the same ole weather. Have had so many gorgeous days to spend outdoors doing stuff. And today----Brrrrrrr! It is nasty cold outside. I am sitting next to the woodstove enjoying the warmth, cozyness, and pretty Christmas lights of my little village. I'm surrounded by sleeping cats and listening to Christmas music. I love it.
We have two new additions to our barnyard. Don went out to feed early Saturday morning and there were twin baby goats. They are so sweet. And I think we will soon have more by the looks of our other nannies.... We went down to the ranch yesterday to check on everything there. The sheep and goats all looked good but were glad to get the food and treats we brought them. The creek still has lots of water, springs are still flowing, and there seems to be enough grass to keep the critters going--they all looked good. We cleaned up the cabin and yard and gathered some firewood to bring home. Was a nice warm day to be out there. Saw a huge flock of wild turkeys cross our land and quite a few deer.
We will spend Christmas at Tammie and Jess's home this year along with Beki and Josh and Kara. The Wilde family will be down the week before Christmas for our Christmas with them. I looks to be a quiet but wonderful Christmas. I only put out a small table size tree this year because of Dickens, our kitten. She is a wild thing and into everything. She knocked my bird in his cage into the bathtub yesterday. The whole world is a playground to her. So far, my little tree has not been abused too badly.
So thats my news for now. Don and I have both been sickly the past week or so--bad colds and Don has a nasty cough. He gets this crud every year about this time when the cold fronts start rolling in--plus it is just so awful dusty and dry right now.
Will try to not go so long without blogging in the future.
