    Bekah says we are having hamster wheel days.  Get up, do devotions, milk, take care of milk, get kids ready for school. put them on the bus.  Then it's a clean house, wrap presents, and work on spring 2026 orders.  Kids get off the bus, we hear about their day, she milks, we have supper and get ready to start over the next day.  Maegin doesn't milk, she fills her orders for baked goods. 

    Yesterday I wrapped some presents for Santa, I still have lots of t-shirts left to wrap.  I checked online to see what a tiller for my tractor would cost.  Heather came by to visit and do books.  I don't expect today to be very different.  May your day be blessed, Sally

Take a few minutes each day to thank God for what already is...the food cooling on the counter, the sound of our children’s laughter, the mittens drying near the woodstove, the people we get to gather with this Christmas.
