One of my resolutions is to pick this back up again- I have signed up for a writing class through UNC-A so we will see if perhaps my prose improves:
We try so hard not to write one of those droll letters so here was my attempt at humor :)
Happy hollerdays from the Lazy Dog Ranch!
Daisy here- a quick note to let you know that Karl and shannon are alive and well but too lazy to write a letter- so they allowed me to slobber up the keyboard to wish our friends and family a wonderful christmas and a healthy and happy new year.
This year has been blissfully peaceful. I finally limped and gimped enough to get a new dog bed- and I am allowed indoors when it gets below freezing. However, I cannot seem to convince mamma that wearing cat crap smells good so she bathes me whenever I roll in it ( which is every chance I git)
Jesse, Sonny, Sammie and the kitties are enjoying a new cedar and pine kennel and remain healthy.
We have had a great time continuing our homesteading adventure in the mountains and try to write about our forays into sustainability and they are usually more humorous than productive.
Shannon hopes to resume her blog now things have slowed down- so if you want to see what is up on the farm check us out

This year we are thankful for our friends and family.
The "new Normal" in this economy has brought us closer and increased appreciation for what we do have.
shannon and Karl have enjoyed- sharing crops with neighbors, reusing and repurposing, and discovering new modes of entertainment- like stump burning parties in the neighbors yard and turning the garage into a disco to host the Surgical Services Christmas Party.
We wish you in 2011 the bounties of good health, good friends and an appreciation for what we all have
