⭐️And to all a good night….
Just getting home to the farm after an evening with all four of my grown children plus one at my oldest son’s apartment for Christmas dinner 🍽
I could not ask for more.
❤️Thank you to all the kind Friends of the Farm who over the past year have helped to support Winterpast Farm in so many ways. From volunteering, dropping off empty egg cartons and excess food, donating pumpkins and Christmas trees, hosting animals, sharing Farmer Mary’s Facebook posts, spending some time here spreading mulch, buying fleece blankets for cold nights, spreading the word to friends about our little small farm family animal rescue…it all helps alot.

🎄 ‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through Winterpast Farm
Not a creature was stirring, not even a 🐭mouse;
The stockings were hung by the Central Boiler outdoor woodstove 🔥with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas🎅🏾 soon would be there;
🐐🐖🐑The goats, pigs and sheep were nestled all snug in the old tobacco barn,
🎾While visions of tennis balls danced in Henry the Golden Retreiver’s head;
And Farmer Mary in her overalls, and the Farmers Daughter 👩🌾with her MAX,
Had just settled their brains for a long winter’s nap….
🎾HENRY never has enough tennis balls and he likes to bury them; maybe he hopes to grow a tennis ball tree??🎾 Used tennis balls are always very welcome too!
