Christmas came at locomotive speed, and now is gone almost as quickly. Foxcroft was a "farmful", with 9 folks here over the holiday, and 12 for Christmas dinner, plus 4 dogs and 5 horses. Wonderful fun to have so much family, friends, and critters.
Eldest left today, the last to depart, making the house feel very quiet. Now, a new year is a direct hit in front of us, and I started thinking about the year nearly gone.
So, a photoblog of 2021 from the perspective of transformation in this lovely home.
