(Ed Gulley’s Tin Man is our weather indicator, and our flagship. Check out the Bejosh Farm Journal for details of the Standing Eggs and also for details on life on a working dairy farm in a snowstorm.)

We woke up to some pre-Christmas snow, which is okay by us, I’ve ordered two thin gourmet pizzas from the Round House Cafe if I can get there – we will be holed up for awhile –  and we have plenty of good food and wood.

Monday, weather permitting, we’ll go see the new Winston Churchill movie, “Darkest Hour,” if we can get there, and Saturday, some friends are having a Christmas sing-a-long (if we can get there), something I normally avoid, but which I feel like doing this  year.

In between, reading, blogging, talking, photos and walks. And hot chocolate and fires. I’ve just got to get Maria to slow down a bit.

This morning, I’m taking Gus to the vet to check his stomach, he is vomiting too often, even for a Boston Terrier. I want to see if we can figure it out, perhaps change his food or keep him out of the pasture for awhile. I’d like to talk about it with Dr. Fariello, she is a great strategist for things like that.

I’m collecting a stool sample always fun.

Looks like about 8 to 10 inches of snow by noon Saturday, nothing too awful and I am enough of a romantic to like a white Christmas. We sold Mawulidi’s chicken in seconds, as I thought would happen. Four of his birds to go.
