Christmas Puppet Show

With the aid of an upside down dresser, and THE piece of sacred cardboard...the 1st annual Glochenshperi Christmas Puppet Show (on American soil) debuted.

The performers were very glad of some necessary clutch volunteering from amongst the audience.

Happy Christmas and a Joy-Filled New Year!

Christmas 2010

flannel nightgowns float
before a wonderland tree
after pittering down the
farmhouse staircase
then clutching new ponies
after a warm bath
hot cocoa and cookies
are laid under down comforters
and warm quilts
with wriggling raisin toes inside.

St. Nicholas day brought cookie baking...and shoes filled with chocolate coins and peppermint candies...

FIRST SNOW

We took a magical walk through snow frosted woods toting the girls in sleds. Una began to exclaim and sing "Mama! I love Snow! I love Snow!"

Busy Fall days...with the plowing of the veggie field there is an ENORMOUS hay stack to play in (they make the best houses for wee people...and lots of dirt to squish...and bosom cat companions (I think our current tally is 13 feline friends/mousers.

The days are getting shorter and so the romps are getting rompier....squeezing every last bit outdoor play and work out of the Fall.

Cat Shearing

Every responsible farm girl shears in the Spring and in the Fall...

Happy Birthday!

When you are two, happiness is a balloon.
