This past year had been a time to regroup, to think about the direction of my life, to simplify, to say goodbye to portions of my life that were dragging me down, not lifting me up. I went into a bit of a hibernation, gathered what was important to me, said no to the things that didn't make me feel good. I am changing the direction of the journey, moving on.
I am thankful for 2011, for the chance to reevaluate and nourish myself, I am excited and hopeful for what 2012 has to offer, a new year, a new start. The world is always changing and reinventing itself...do you feel it? Are you open to it?
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Lovely
We love the wood stove, couldn't be happier to have it in our home. If we throw a couple of good sized logs on before bedtime there is a nice bed of embers ready to spark up a new fire in the morning. Which is exactly what I did on this very frigid AM.
My guys have always worshiped the heat provided by our space heaters, they quickly discovered the beautiful warmth of the wood stove. I have a steamer on top of the stove that I fill with water to add humidity to our dry winter air. Yesterday Mick commented on the lack of static electricity this year, seems the steamer and the limited use of the forced air oil furnace is the reason, much to the relief of my dogs, nothing worse then coming for a cuddle and getting a static electricity shock from your owner.

A woody trail
This morning we set off to a Provincial Park that is about 20 minutes
from us. It is crazy busy in the summer and we go out of our way to
avoid it, but Fall & Winter is fantastic. Mostly we ran into others
enjoying the breezy frosty morning with their dogs.

Oh my, can schnauzers even compete with this?
The cutest Holiday video ever! Below, how they created the magic.
Cross that off my to-do list
Twenty-six individual doggie 'bunny' dinners done!
If you check in on my blog occasionally you may have seen my postings about the addition of rabbits to help supplement the dogs diet. Really pleased with the results, its wonderful to know that I am supplementing my dogs with well raised fresh meats.
The occasional rabbit has also made it to our dinner table, yes it's true, once you get over the whole fluffy bunny thing, healthy garden fresh rabbit makes an amazing dinner.
