Lots of ones and twos in todays date 01/02/2012. Happy New Year to all of you! It's been over two weeks since I blogged and it seems like just last week. We had a nice Christmas. Although it didn't go as planned--never plan. The stormy weather in the south caused cancelled and delayed flights. Jen was unable to get home for the holidays. Thankfully she had friends to spend it with and was not alone.
It isn't often that DH tells me to take a picture, but he was very impressed with the dessert table this year. Every one was so full of turkey and dressing there was alot left over.
Cherry Cheesecake
Here are the traditional Kolaches I only make at Christmas. They have cherry and prune filling. The cherry always disappear first. I should make them more often.
Lots of fun, food and family--another Christmas in the book of Time.
It's hard to tell it is January here. We are having very, very unseasonal weather for South Dakota. We haven't had any snow since the first 6 inches we had. Last Thursday it rained. We have been enjoying the 30 to 50 degree days--and so have the cattle! It makes doing chores so much quicker and easier.
The bulls wait for their breakfast of ground hay and silage.
The cows are fed in the pasture south of the place. They have the run of the corn stalks and wheat stubble too. It looks like fall.

Pumpkin and pecan pie are favorite holiday treats.

The calves are no longer babies. They have grown well on their diet of corn, silage and ground hay.
I have been really lazy lately. I have been reading books on my new Kindle Fire and crocheting potholders. The quilt bug has not bit me yet. Our quilting group meets next week. I think that is what I need to get started again. The pheasant and deer hunting seasons are over now, so I can spread everything out in the bedroom again.
