Winter has a tight grip on me…not just the falling snow and temperatures, but the realization that the season known as the “winter of life” is approaching — so much so, that I had to recently rethink a project I have been dreaming about for a while and adapt it to meet my needs in years to come.

So as I embrace these winter days by making a hearty and comforting Swiss venison stew, work on some 18th-century mitts to keep my arms warm and spend restful days with old friends that sit on my bookshelf, I invite you to come and keep me company.

It is always nice to have your listening ear to share my thoughts with and to hear what you think.

So welcome to Old Stone Well Farm!!! I pray you are doing well and that you are filling up your joy jars!

As always, like, share and, most of all, comment! Y

our words of wisdom, insights and your sharing of your stories always brighten my day!

Blessings to you!
