I am in vermont waiting for the arrival of my mum, dylan and elle. I arrived way ahead of schedule after a smooth drive. walked the dogs around the darmouth campus and now i sit at a cafe before attempting some lite christmas shopping. I have not left the farm in so long, i am a bit nervous about the animals being there alone, but i do have someone coming for afternoon feeding. in a conversation with my sister yesterday she told me that i was funny, that when she reads the blog and i name mike. tolstoy, clarabelle, isabelle and so on it is as if i am talking about friends, oh dear readers i feel as if i am( i am nutty)
my sister gave us the biggest scare and the realization on how quickly things can change. she is doing better and might be home soon. i was truly terrified. her and i discussed changes we want to make, the promise to get healthy to get rid of the things that can contribute to stress that can cause illness. i also realized how little i had spoken to her these last months and how not often enough i told her i loved her and i also understood that there is many very important people in my life that i had not shared these words with. what better time to be given awakening such as now.
I am happy that the kids are coming to the farm and look forward to seeing it through their eyes and hope to share our time with you. i will post tomorrow or christmas day because i enjoy it.

I am glad to hear everything is ok... my sister is my best friend so, I know how it feels to be worried about someone you love. You make such an important point that often... I don't say I love you enough or call the people that truly matter. I hope your holidays are filled with love, joy and laughter. Thanks for brightening my day with your photos!!! xo
such an important realization. i feel that way about some relationships in my life that need mending or perhaps more attention.
beautiful pictures! the horse running in the snow actually and truly made my heart skip a beat.
xoxo Merry Christmas.
