Duane gave me an amazing Christmas gift !! - he welded up a stone boat (this is for my team to pull) It's made from salvaged steel at the tractor dealership he works for and some wood flooring from his old barn!! I was totally blown away!!! thanks you Duane!!





all done! don't be fooled by Huston's head lowered (right hand horse) he's not tired he's clowning around...

CONGRATULATIONS Will

my brother Michael chose the pig name last night out of the hat! and Will you can expect your big table farm t-shirt in the mail - : ) congratulations!! thanks to all who entered names there were some GREAT name I'll have pig names for years now... : )

Huston looks like I feel! -- eagerly anticipating





My Brother and his wife Haley start the drive north today with Merlin (there dog) and lots of cheer to spend the holidays on the farm ... I'm so excited to see them and share the holiday!! I hope the weather stays clear and not to cold for a safe drive north. Gotta stop typing on the blog and get things a little picked up around here!! Happy Holidays!!

ps the pig name drawing will be on Christmas - thanks for all the amazing names I now have pig names for years!!!

The pig with out a name -

So this poor little piggie never got a name and she's 1/2 way through her life!! - I go out in the morning and say hi to her pasture mate who's name is picnic (and let me tell you it suits her!) and then calling this one "pig 1" but she's so dang cute she really needs a cute name - she's VERY friendly always the first to push in for some affection... so I'm putting it out there - enter your pig names in the comments and I will be drawing a name out of a hat (so make it good) and the winner gets a Big Table Farm t-shirt this contest will end on Christmas day 2009! - so give it some thought!!



(if you don't like pig naming you can also buy a t-shirt for $10 cow is on the back and the logo is on the front pocket area - white and tan - sorry no mediums left only L and XL)

the epitome of Christmas to me is clementines and nuts!

the latest painting to come out of my studio today ...

home at last

I got home late last night and am so glad to be home !! had a nice dinner made by brian and then curled up in front on the wood stove with the dog... It was a good trip and the wine adventure continues have some funny tasting stories about taking wine around to restaurants what a roller coaster ride that is... more on that when I get a moment to write -

I love my birthday present from Brian !!



what I don't love so much is the fact that is 7 count 'em 7 degrees this morning when we woke up! BURRRRR

Thank you one and all!!

I got soo many happy b-day wishes on the cell and FB it really made my day THANK YOU!!! And big thanks to Brian who allowed me to guess my b-day gifts over the phone (I'm in CA) and for those who know me know I LOVE guessing!! so brian gave me a plow for my team and a pair of work boots I love my practical husband (truth be told to him the plow is VERY impractical despite how it seems!) and my bff gave me a great evening and this lovleyness among other things!! thanks to all -- xxooo c
