Acquired a new zero turn mower for the company.

Here they come. Time to clean those feeders, and please don't use red dye. It's terrible for them.

Thanks to Jenn for this one.

A Happy New Year to all our friends, family and clients!

"Snowfall with total amounts of 15 to 20 cm is expected. Locations: Southern New Brunswick Time span: Saturday morning until Saturday evening.... Remarks: The highest accumulations will occur over areas along the Fundy coast where locally higher snowfall amounts could approach 30 cm by the storm's end Saturday evening. Furthermore, Strong east to northeast winds gusting 70 km/h may at times significantly reduce visibility in blowing snow. Additional snowfall warnings may be issued for parts southern New Brunswick later today as the system draws nearer."

Great list! But nothing is deer proof....

Solstice reminds us that we are intertwined through a long history of seasons and cycles in our shared landscapes. The word solstice comes from the Latin words ...for sun and to stand still. Even though it represents the onset of deep winter, Solstice brings an end to the darkest days of winter, and welcomes in the growing light that helps us keep heart. Though winter cold can sometimes disconnect us from nature, ancient holiday traditions remind us to bring fragrant evergreens indoors, and take comfort in the light of candles and the warming ritual of fire to keep connection alive. Light to illuminate the things we hold sacred, and good cheer to help us celebrate the gifts each season brings. Our agricultural roots remind us that even the earth must rest in winter, and that a new year offers us a chance for introspection, connection and renewal. Best wishes for the turning of the season & happy Solstice eve friends!
