Holiday recuperation

I think everyone (man and beast) here at Meadow Creek Farm (and Calm Acres too) is in need of some holiday recuperation.  We are bushed.  I blame the cookies...CB blames the catnip.  Either way, we are all grateful to have each other and a nice cozy place to nap.  Zzzzzzzzzz...

ChiChi Claus!!!

Merry Christmas!!

In the news...WOOT!

Last week I had the opportunity to participate in a Comcast Newsmaker interview about
Calm Acres (a small non-profit I started in November). 

FUN!

I always enjoy talking about my work at Calm Acres
and the impact it has on the lives of the people I help. 

Enjoy!
(BTW...LOVE how Yolanda pronounces my last name.)

Nostalgia

Black and White photos are nostalgic to me.  They seem vintage and lend an elegance to whatever is being photographed.  I love my farm in Black and White.  LOVE it.

The Buck Stops Here

No.  Really.  The BUCK stops here.  So far he's still alive...much to the disappointment of all of my neighbors who hunt.  I'm rooting for the buck.  Go Buck!

Takin' Care of Business!

Go Mark Go!!!

Blowin'

SNOW!!!

The prediction was for 1-3".  Woopsie...we got just over 8".  Mark was happy...he got to use the new snowblower.  So glad HE likes doing this stuff.  I was happy to snuggle on the couch with the kitties and watch holiday movies.  

Giving Tuesday

Today is Giving Tuesday.  Before I ask you to consider a donation to Calm Acres, let me tell you about Frank. 

Frank is an animal lover; he really enjoys Disney movies, going to yard sales and eating burgers at Denny’s.  He also loves the horses at Calm Acres.  When Frank visits the farm, he is calm…he is relaxed.  For most that would not seem unusual.  But to Frank’s mom it’s phenomenal.  For Frank’s mom, the hour Frank spends with the horses is rewarding beyond words can describe.  For Frank’s mom the reward is in witnessing her son learn, work, help, smile, laugh, socialize and above all else, relax. 

We celebrate three days (Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday) where we shop for the best deals.  How about a day (Giving Tuesday) where we give back to others?  After all, it IS what the season is about right?  Interested in helping us help more people like Frank?  Please consider a small tax-deductible donation to Calm Acres ($25 goes a very long way). 

Visit us at www.CalmAcres.org for details on how you can help and to learn more about our work.  From the bottom of my heart…I thank you.  Please share my appeal if you feel it worthy.

Pretty Little Flowers...
