Welcome to The Wary Farmwife seasonal journey! My goal, to blog daily (give or take a day, week or month) to showcase hobby farm life across the seasons. Stop by The Wary Farmwife blog and check out what we're up to...our front porch door is always open!

December (in pictures)

 JJ's Gingerbread Stable (with pink and yellow animals droppings in all- yes, he officially is a "farm kid".

 Pick Pick's Stable--with a red, gummy bear "baby Jesus"


 New holiday decor from Hobby Lobby- don't worry, I don't get any kickbacks :)

 More Hobby Lobby decorations!!  Someday... real holly!

 Thank you Aunt Sal for the beautiful hostess gift!

 Holiday baking with Mimi and Papa (and official quality control tester, Pickle)



 My mom (Mimi) taught me how to make fudge this year!  After numerous batches, I was a pro (with a sore arm). 

 I still prefer reading my recipes from handwritten cards vs a tablet or computer!

 Raspberry Jelly Thumbprint cookies

 Milk chocolate "Haystacks"

 White "chocolate" covered Pretzel Sticks-- the boys had lots of fun making these!  Sprinkles everywhere!!

 Chocolate Bon Bons (a ladyfinger cookie with a Hershey Kiss in the middle)

 Above you can also see the many tins of fudge (marshmallow whip and all) and the 7 layer bars as well! We baked from mid morning to dinner time!  We gave away a lot of fudge for holiday gifts and I took a holiday dessert tray to a "Downton Abbey" Christmas party.  We ate the rest.  All was gone way before Christmas Eve!!!  We don't believe in delayed gratification (when it comes to desserts) in our family!

 I wish you could all feel how furry the goats and sheep are with their winter coats in full force! 

 Ace...minutes before leaving the farm! 

 A handsome lad.  Hopefully we will see some of his lovely features in the faces, fur and body types of baby lambs!  Fingers crossed! 



 Did you know that Suburu Foresters are good for Ram transport?  No kickbacks here either!

 Goodbye, Ace.  

 Younger brother equals snow dog! 

Fun in the deep snow!
