Home

In 1919 my grandfather moved to our family farm. He celebrated his 5th birthday here in December. He then spent his lifetime here nurturing the land and livestock. The rust has replaced the paint through the years, but the legacy lives on through the next generation. It is not an easy life, but to me it is home. My childhood memories come alive here...



in the blustery, cold prairie winters.



Not much has changed...except the address.




Kiahra never fails to warm us with her famous Chex mix...and the aroma makes it feel like Christmas!



Then following the lunar eclipse early on December 21, the evening moon was utterly magnificent. The orange orb glowed in the nighttime sky welcoming winter solstice. The longest night of the year was welcomed by this moon. Everyone stopped to appreciate the majesty of the moment that the camera couldn't do justice to.



Astronomers estimate there was maybe one day like this in the last 2,000 years when the lunar eclipse coincided with winter solstice. It will happen again on December 21, 2094.
