ramblings from an arkansas farm girl

Christmas 2015, so far.

By

Christmas 2015 isn’t quite over. Today marks the 6th day of Christmas—the six geese a laying day. There are no geese laying eggs around our house but there are two schnauzers warming my feet, and that’s a good thing because, baby, it’s cold outside.

So how’s your Christmas going? Do you declare it over after the gifts are opened? I’m celebrating through Epiphany. No matter your tradition, I hope your Christmas (so far) has been filled with whatever makes it perfect for you. The best part of mine is getting together with family. It’s all about family.

Dear December,

Dear December,

You’re here!? You slipped in the back door while I was struggling to wrap my brain around the way autumn suddenly became buried in wet and cold. Did we skip September? Does anyone remember anything about October other than the massive amounts of Halloween candy we accidentally ate?

Summer is a complete blur.

Farm Art Friday: Frozen Field

Farm Art Friday - Frozen Field, Grace Grits and Gardening

I love the winter fields, resting for spring, waiting for new life. And these trees. Frozen, they bow to the earth. We may be growing weary of ole man winter, but there’s no denying the beauty of ice and snow. Tiring, sometimes dangerous, yet beautiful.

I’d love to see your winter pictures. Tag me on Instagram @gracegrits or post to Facebook.

Happy Friday! Stay warm, everyone.

Frozen (you knew it was coming, right?)

“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says “Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.”
