Happy Winter Solstice! Or, for those of you who celebrate Christmas, Chanukah, Ramadan, Kwanzaa or the Festival of the Radishes, please accept my apologies for my holiday wishes being premature or belated.

Speaking of the holiday season, I thought you might enjoy seeing the card I made for Mom to send to her relatives. The astute reader will recognize some of these images from the blog!

Of course, if Mark and I were going to make our own holiday card, chances are it would revolve around goats. So I'll fill today's post with a little caprine cheer just in case you lack hooved companions of your very own.

Abigail says: "Winter holidays are about feasting. Give me more honeysuckle!"

Artemesia says: "Winter holidays are about fun. If it's more than a foot tall, I want to stand on top of it. You try!"

From our farm to yours --- may your year ahead be healthy, happy, and full of inspiration. Don't get pulled in too many different directions and do remember to savor the moment. It's all uphill from here!
