Ranch Raised

We wish American agriculture a very prosperous and thriving new year, because we all depend on you.  

Does anyone else feel like we have entered this awkward space between Christmas and New Years when it takes conscience effort to remember what day of the week it is?

The first Christmas was so simple and that is why we choose to keep ours that way too. For we already know where miracles and blessings are found, in the barn.  

We are blessed to live this way. We are blessed to see the Lord all around us. And I hope we all never lose sight of all that we are given 364 days a year, in addition to Christmas day! 

And now it is time for Round 2 of what Santa should bring 

An average ranch wife that would make her heart sing. 

As I sit down at the end of a very long day, 

I decided to let Santa know what this ranch wife had to say. 

Santa for Christmas this year my list might be long, 

I am an out of the box thinker when it comes to gifts. I only give gifts that truly speak to me. I put a lot of thought and intention into what I am giving.

I tell you what, a candy cane takes me back! And to this day, I would still take a good ole candy cane over any of these sour, sugary candies that the kids are into these days. 

This time of year, we start every morning with a drops of peppermint essential oil in our coffee grounds, so I for one appreciate the American peppermint farmer!
