Saturday......December 20, 2014....

After coffee a quick trip to town was necessary for some stamps and a few other stops along the way.  Home and the Lumber Jack and I set to doing some cleaning up both inside and around the outside of the cottage.  Spent most of our entire afternoon doing that he offered dinner out at a local restaurant that has an amazing sustainable menu.  On the drive there I noticed that the day seemed so late but was really so early.  Not until I came home did I realize that it was the Winter Solstice.  Hoping to actually celebrate in some fashion next year as we will be more settled here on the Farmstead.  Barn chores done it was time to have some fun together in the kitchen.  It was an apron and wine kind of evening with some christmas tunes on Pandora while we worked together making some rock candy for gifts.
Be well,
