Year End

It was a wonderful and very wet tree season, and we are so happy to have shared it with our wonderful and often equally wet customers.  Christmas Eve brought with it our first dusting of snow.  We are hoping that the cold and wet manage to give us a few good snows here at the farm, and much more good snow up at Mt. Hood.  2015 was quite such a hot, dry, and long summer, perhaps this winter will offset that in the other direction.   For now, we are easing into the tail end of the year, enjoying the quiet and peacefulness that settles in around the longest nights.  We are so grateful to be close to nature and I think our rhythms tend to fall in with that of the world around us as we always find that this is a good time to hunker down, rest, and recharge.  Some people like to welcome the new year with a bang, but we look forward to a quieter start to 2016.
