Coming Up on Christmas!

Yesterday Matthew came home from college for Christmas break.  The Big Guy's been working on an addition to the shop and they were both very tired:
The Big Guy contracted 28 loads of grain for the month of December. He has already spent quite a bit of time driving and sitting in line, but left a great deal for Matthew to finish off the next couple weeks (Matthew's been looking for a few extra dollars to line his pocket).
The weather has been unseasonably warm.  Last weekend Grace and The Boyfriend spent the afternoon making a fort out of hay bales in the haymow.  You can see TB peering down at me from the top of the pile:


And in their adventuring, they found something quite curious:


The Big Guy says it's a raccoon--a SLOW raccoon.  The kids are hoping to dissect the bale of hay over the holidays and see what's really inside.  Until we find out, it's rather creepy.  Okay, so it's creepy whether we find out or not.

In other farm news, the chicks are growing--but they move fast enough to elude the camera most of the time.  Can you see them following the two black mama chickens?  The mild weather has given them a jump start on a harsh winter.


Christmas is closing in upon us.  From our house to yours, blessings as you anticipate the Savior's birth!
