Just yesterday when i was writing on the calendar that Abram turned 7 months yesterday, i told husband - and today was winter solstice - what exactly is that again? So - fabulous timing:) I TOO look forward to more daylight! I don't mind winter really but hate darkness arriving by 5pm! makes my days too short...Elizabeth Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06968505431111144876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853405681241979670.post-21309600388885039562008-12-21T16:12:00.000-08:002008-12-21T16:12:00.000-08:00We celebrate this day to usher the upcoming chines...We celebrate this day to usher the upcoming chinese new year.

Too fast.<BR/>I was just thinking the same thoughts on the shortest day of the year and how starting now the days will gradually get longer again.<BR/>I can't wait until spring and garden time.<BR/>Guess what? We just added 2 baby goats to the farm! Big girl Bertha just gave birth to 2 beautiful babies!<BR/>Have a great day.<BR/>PamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853405681241979670.post-37219405463722852482008-12-20T07:05:00.000-08:002008-12-20T07:05:00.000-08:00Great post!Hope you get your 'medal'!Great post!<BR/><BR/>Hope you get your 'medal'!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853405681241979670.post-75848656474156655472008-12-19T14:36:00.000-08:002008-12-19T14:36:00.000-08:00Wonderful post.

In the winter months I always feel like a hibernating bear. LOL!! Thanks so much for your kinds words of encouragement regarding my daughters eye surgery. Keeping our fingers crossed and trying to stay positive. Thanks again.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08242191079647238211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-853405681241979670.post-70195316127379637662008-12-19T11:40:00.000-08:002008-12-19T11:40:00.000-08:00What a beautifully written post.

Here, it is dark by 4:00 p.m. every day and the horses won't start shedding their winter coats until April nor will they see grass until then if they are lucky but still the days will grow longer and our spirits will soar.<BR/>I'm so thrilled by your plans for a medal in dressage. I have often thought of dressage as a beautiful dance between horse and rider where communication is key and the relationship paramount. If you ride for a medal, I'd love to watch.<BR/>Watching your baby girl grow too must bring you great joy.<BR/>I'm so thankful I found your blog and I'm learning more about you and your corner of the world.<BR/>Have a wonderful holiday.The Silver Age Sarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01135538968544231161noreply@blogger.com
