Dear Friends and Members of the Black Forest Arts and Crafts Guild, We would like to extend our wishes for the most lovely season of celebration to you and yours! As we look out our window here in the Forest we can see how the earth has quieted down and appreciate it's slowing effect on us. Deer are moving through our little homestead here, stepping gingerly through the remnants of snow left from the last storm, foraging for food. They are grabbing pumpkins out of the flower bed and throwing them all over the sidewalk out front to get a munch! But that is why we leave the pumpkins for them. If you are gathering with loved ones or on your own, we hope you find peace, comfort, and joy in the simple pleasures that surround you! May the blessings of the New Year be yours! 🌲❤🌲 Photo credit: Oliver Hunnybun
