Today I took down all the Christmas things and basically "unplugged Christmas" for another year. This is a task I always hate! Being such a Christmas person, I always dislike the end of the holiday. The house seems so barren and empty after everything is put away. Almost depressing, really. Eventually things begin to look normal again, but those first couple days after all the Christmas decorations are put away make the house look as cold as the outdoor temps. We are expecting WAY below zero temps for at least the next 6 days, and it's about 15 below zero as I write this. Supposed to go to minus 30 tonight.
At the end of the year, we all think about 'how everything was' during the last year - and I am no exception. All in all, it was a good year! In spite of a few ups and downs in Harold's health, some sad times with friends and their problems, and the usual "things that break and cost too much to repair", 2013 was a good year. I have enjoyed writing this blog and hope to continue next year. I thank you all for your support and readership and comments! I'm toying with the idea of making the blog look different for 2014 with different colors and backgrounds, etc. We shall see.
The world may get crazier and crazier every day, but here on Honey B Farm, we try to live a simple, wholesome and Christian lifestyle. We have long ago removed ourselves from the world's merry-go-round, and just try to live life the way 'it used to be' (or at least what we perceive it was!). Other than the computer, I'm not much for modern gadgets - I'll leave those things for others to enjoy. Husband Harold and I look forward to another successful year of gardening and beekeeping and just enjoying the quiet lifestyle out here in the 'boonies'.
I hope everyone has a safe and happy New Year's Day and a healthy and prosperous 2014. Seems like only yesterday we were worrying about that Y2K thing, and here it is 14 years later! How time does fly..........
