Good Morning Friends & Folk ~ a very Merry Yule and a beautiful Winter Solstice to us all.... 'tis the shortest day of the year... the wheel turns slightly once again to bring us more sun each day! This old farmhouse holds many memories of Christmas' past, not only for our family but of those who lived here before... each year as we cozy up the house, I can envision those-before us doing the same and it brings me a great sense of peace and welcoming. it will be a cold Christmas here in our parts of Virginia, the woodpiles are stocked and the homefires are burning bright ~ tea kettles and soup-pots are bubbling and the scents of orange, cloves and pine wafts through the air ~ the halls are decked and the bells are jingling! ....and we will welcome home our daughter to spend the Holiday at home.... merriment, comfort food and cozy slippers await us as we hunker down for the rest of this year, ~ readying ourselves to ring in a sparkling-fresh 2023. {all photos found on Pinterest} Blessings from the Farm ~ Lori
