DEC. 2 UPDATE: Days are shorter

We went for a nice walk yesterday evening and enjoyed another lovely sunset ... though we didn't really enjoy the fact that it was setting at 4:30 in the afternoon! Hurrumph. Dave said that by the time he stops in to get some coffee and we go for a family walk, he doesn't have any natural light left to work by. Ah, well. Tis the season.


The renter's cows were grazing in the pasture across the road; one was out when we returned from our walk. It didn't look like it was in a big hurry, just grazing on the other side of the fence. Our renter's hired hand arrived shortly to shoo the cow back in. We weren't sure how it got out, as the fence didn't look to be down anywhere; maybe the cow was inspired and jumped!


Mari and her girls (Viena, Eliana and Amara) came over for a baking day on Saturday -- we made four different kinds of Christmas cookies. It was a little chaotic, but I think the girls had fun!

Eliana and Viena are posing here with some of the finished treats. (Sofia was too tired to smile by that point.)

Sofia's cookies had a signature look. She's apparently a frosting minimalist. Can you pick out her creations?
