Sites, Sounds & Wildlife
All is calm...all is bright. Beautiful in any season, THE FARM is like walking
(and living) in a Winter Wonderland. Do You Hear What I Hear? Heaven and nature sings in
the Silent Night of the serene and pastoral countryside. With a fresh covering of snow blanketing
the open meadows It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas so.... let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
Choruses of O Christmas Tree ring out as the white lights illuminate the dark sky. I'll Be Home For
Christmas brings new meaning as family and friends gather near and pray for peace on the earth and good
will toward men. Snow covered hills wait for the young and young at heart to experience the thrill
of o'er the hills we go, laughing all the way. The ponds beckon ice skaters of all ages to practice their
spins while the stars are brightly shining. When It Came Upon a Midnight Clear, Frosty the Snowman
and several of his snow friends mysteriously appeared to welcome all that came to THE FARM and just as mysteriously
disappeared as the weather turned warm. Herds of deer (or was it Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer?) have been
seen dashing thru the snow. In this most joyous holiday season may we all remember What Child Is This?
From our home to yours... We Wish You a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
From The Farm's Kitchen...
