MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL! BY CHECKING OFF ALL OF THE ITEMS ON ALL OF THE LISTS OF GIFT AND FOOD PREPARATION, THE REASON FOR THE SEASON WAS CERTAINLY NOT OVERLOOKED. IT WAS A WONDERFUL AND ALWAYS THANKFUL CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JESUS! 
THE SUNSETS HAVE DEFINITELY BEEN SPECTACULAR AND THE WINTER TEMPS HAVE BEEN SOMEWHAT COMFORTABLE - 20's in the morning and 40's during the day. No snow this year, so I've been able to get in some wonderful riding time with Sweet Ed (although bundled up tightly).
View from the top of the River Road north of the farm.
Enjoying the River Road, spotting numerous deer, a badger, and something in the tall grasses that we never caught sight of, but was definitely rootin' around... it took some cajoling to get Ed to pass by that particular spot!
The cattle, once again, make their annual escape to the young green wheat sprouts...
The longhorns wanted no part of the "round up", so they sauntered off to the far north corner of the pasture.
Ed patiently waited for me, while I mended the fence where the cows escaped...being so dry, there's not much of a "pop" when the cows touch the hotwire, so they have become accustomed to just plowing through the fence in places...
A round bale every now and then, seems to pacify their desire to break out...but there's PLENTY of pasture grasses to go 'round.
Ed loves to stick his head in the hay crib while I get his feed.
Zack has been busy hunting cranes with Dyke.
Of course duck & deer hunting are also scheduled into his calendar...along with the harvesting of an occasional coyote...this one will be used to make an arrow quiver for his homemade arrows.
Four more Santas were made and sold prior to Christmas, as well as the 3 that were sent to Santa Fe in November!
Woo-Hoo! I am thrilled about that and hope for the blessings of more business up that way!
I pray that everyone had a very special and heartwarming Christmas holiday and wish the greatest of blessings for this upcoming New Year! God Bless!!
