Well, Thanksgiving came and went this year already and now we are head long into the Christmas Holiday season.
Here is a picture of the room getting prepped for the Thanksgiving Feast in my Columbia County Farm in Gallatin County.
Somewhat busy looking I know, I have been asked to move the Fuzzball (lower left hand of image) down to the basement but I have been resistent. The room does double duty as Maria Victoria de Bernard’s (renowed Columbia County Cuban Folk Artist) studio. Her art supplies were conveniently and somewhat unceremoniously stuffed in boxes and put in whatever crevice was available to make room for all of the country guests at the feast.

Thanksgiving in Columbia County , New York is a special time. Some of the local farms are working overdrive to bake all sorts of pies for the local residents. The farms themselves are rapidly going into a state of hibernation till late spring as the onslaught of winter which can be brutal here encroaches on a daily basis.

Another onslaught is notable by its absense as the weather turns bone-chilling. The yuppies from the City trim back their day trips up north. That can only be considered a good thing from my vantage point.
