I'm back in Texas now and life around the farm is in full swing. Alan picked me up at the Dallas airport Saturday night, and we rolled into the driveway at 11:30pm. Daisy, Farley and Twiggy gave me all kinds of love, and then it was nighty-night time for all. I spent yesterday just doddling around the house, not doing too much of anything important. Today it's time for celebration, as the Oregon Ducks play in the Rose Bowl -- Go DUCKS! And we'll have Alan's parents over for dinner tonight, and will exchange gifts for Christmas, since I was out of town (state) for the holiday. Should be a fine, fine day.
I have a lot of catching up to do, so if you don't see photos of crafty projects for a day or two, excuse the delay. (Dad!) *grin*
Hope you enjoyed your holidays, and rang in the new year with gusto!
The photo above is of Toad, and is the January photo in the 2012 Life on the Farm calendar.
Yay, Ducks! I'm an OSU alumnus, but my husband attended U of O.
Enjoy being back at home, sweet home, and we'll look forward to your 2012 cards and photos and musings about your Texas farm life.
Love it!

That is such a beautiful photo. Love the shadows/light (and the snow!). Glad you're digging out after getting home safely. I'm still doing the same thing.
