There’s a Candle in The Window

There’s a Candle in The Window
There’s a Candle in the Window
 
Put there for all who see
For All Who See
Are Welcome to take refuge with Me.
 
Tis an Irish Tradition,
To help guide them
On Their Way
 
The Candle in the Window
Reminds us of another day.
Made possible by the Child
Whose Birth We Celebrate this way!
 
May the Candle in the Window
Help Guide You
And Keep You
In Your Steady Stay

Thanksgiving at Briden Farm

Thanksgiving Dinner 2021

Although, as expected, it’s going to take a few years before our Gardens are producing the way we’d like them, we do have lots to be thankful for this year. We have survived our first 14 months! It’s not all been easy, we have dealt with everything from sickness to pestilences. We’ve witnessed new births, dealt with deaths, and rejoiced in the living. 

This Thanksgiving our meal is a combination of the woodland pasture raised Berkshire pork that we raised. Vegetables given to us by a friend, pickles and preserves from both Grandma’s and from our Garden!

We’ve also had our own eggs, milk, cheese, butter, and apple sauce and fresh veggies, over the past months and even delicious farm raised chicken, duck, rabbit, and pork! 

We reflect at this time to give thanks not only for all the above, and each other, but for our families, friends, and friends who are family. So, we want to close by saying how special you all are to us and wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Well… today, Valentines Day 2021, another part of the dream came true! We just got a 1979 154 International Lo-Boy Tractor! This will come in so handy here at Briden Farm in so many ways!

The First Sunrise of The New Year 2021

With a Mew Year, comes new hopes an catspirations! 

Ok, so that was a typo! But what a wonderful typo it was! 

So, it’s true, the only thing that changed is the date! But, what if we decide to embrace this, and every, sunrise with expectation and inspiration? Why the World would be a different place!

Really, when it comes down to it, it’s really up to You and Me!

Let’s decide to make 2021 the Nest Year Ever! 

Yes, another typo! 

So we already know we’ll make mistakes, sometimes happy mistakes, sometimes mistakes that need correction! 

Yet, we need to embrace them! Embrace it all! For after all… The Sun Will,Come Up,Tomorrow! Let’s Feel The Fear and Do it Anyway! It’s ok to feel the fear, but we don need to dwell on it, nor do we need to choose it! 

Choose Fun, not Fear! When things get tough, and the fear becomes to much, come visit us at Briden Farm and choose to have fun, enjoying time with the animals, walking the woodlands, and enjoying your time here at Briden Farm, where the Tea is always on, and the Coffee is not far behind!
