Can you believe it's the last day of 2010? Where did the time go?
I will be bringing in the New Year in my pajamas and have my doubts as to whether I will even make it till midnight. The excitement never ends here on the farm, that's for sure.
As I was going back through my archives gathering photos for this post, I realized what a truly great year this has been. So many good things, so many blessings.
I'm not a resolution person. I don't vow to make changes. Resolutions only lead to disappointment...for me at least! But, this year I am going to make a conscious effort to appreciate life. Appreciate those I love. Count my blessings and not take things for granted.
On that note, I'd just like to say that I appreciate you. I've come to know so many of you over this last year and it has truly been a treat. Thank you for taking the time out of your busy lives to visit my little corner of the internet. It means the world to me.
It's really pretty strange, this blogging thing, if you think about it for very long. Perfect strangers really can become friends.
I wouldn't believe it if I hadn't experienced it for myself.
Happy, Happy New Year to my friends!
Happy New Year! I'll be in my pajamas as well, sleeping as well!
ReplyDeletehappy new year to you and your family. it's true. i have made some amazing friends through this blogging world.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you!! I'm so glad to have met you through this blogging world. I love your year in photos, especially that All bucket (where did you find that?) I'm not a resolution person either...for the same reason...but, appreciate life...that sounds good. :)
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing your amazing photography in 2011! We are ushering in the new year with a blizzard, so no one will be going anywhere tonight in this part of NE/SD! I agree, being grateful is the key to contentment. Happy New Year! karen
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you too! And thank you for sharing all the gorgeousness that is Meadowbrook Farm with us. I really wish I had been able to do that Barb Uil class - because she is amazing, and because so is your home. Hope 2011 brings you all sorts of wonderful things!
ReplyDelete~ Happy New Year to you! Gorgeous photos I love everything about every one of them! You do such a good job.
ReplyDelete~ Hopefully I {a perfect stranger} will get to know YOU in this New Year :)
Happy New Year to you too, my friend. It is weird feeling a connection to someone who you wouldn't know if they knocked on your door. Yet, it is true I feel like I could hang with many of my blogging friends and have a great time. Technology needs to get that Star trek beam thingie figured out so we can just hop on over whenever we want!
ReplyDeleteI will be in my jammies probably snoozing on the couch when the ball drops. Better kiss my sweetie now!
Teresa, I feel exactly the same way. I get so excited when I see you have a new post as I get to come visit your beautiful farm and you, if only for a few minutes but it brightens my day so much. Wishing you a wonderful 2011. Look forward to more fantastic posts from you next year :)
ReplyDeleteHugs, Amy
Blessings on your new year. Thanks for the inspiring pictures and words. It is great to have new friends through this unique blogging world.
ReplyDeleteYour photos slay me, Benj. I need a calendar of your months. That's what you can do tonight by the light of Time Square - whip me up a calendar. See how much I love you?
ReplyDeleteYou are at the top of my 2010 Treasure list. Truly.
Happy New Year to you and your family....yes the internet/blogging/etc. is a pretty amazing thing......don't know if I could live without it !!!!

Happy New Year! I'll be doing the same as you toasting in the New Year in my sock monkey flannel PJ's
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! I stayed in my pjs this morning so I can try to stay up until midnight tonight.
ReplyDeleteI truly enjoy your blog, and I thank you for reading mine as well. I feel like your my celebrity reader!! We have an early evening New Years celebration at Chuck E Cheese with some neighbor friends. It's all for the kids! I usually do not make it to midnight either. But when I wake up to the sound of fireworks booming. I lean over, kiss, my husband and wish him a happy New Year and go back to sleep. Works for me!! Happy New Year to you and your family! May you have another year full of great blessings!
ReplyDeleteCheers to appreciating each day! Happy New Years.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! I just came across your blog from Beyond the Screen door. I really love your mosaic photos. I can't wait to see what 2011 holds for everyone. It is unbelieveable all the things that are done in Blogland :)
ReplyDeleteI will be back to visit your farm.

ReplyDeleteHappy New Year,
Chris
Happy New Year to you also!! Pj's are the dress of choice around here. I think the idea of starting anything new on a Saturday just seems wrong, so I am with ya on the waiting a couple more days.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of camera do you have. I love your photgraphs. love your blog too and am pondering starting one of my own.
thanks for all the inspiration! cannot wait to see what 2011 has in store!
Tami
Happy New Year bloggy friend! I'm always so happy to see you've posted or visited my blurry corner of the farm world! Maybe in 2011 I'll save my pennies for a new camera and a trip to your place for a photog clinic. You do inspire me to learn more and capture more everyday beauty. Thank you!
ReplyDeletehugs,

I nodded off on the couch last night, as the Husband watched a rerun of Barrett Jackson Auction from 2010 ... and the New Year itself came as I was tucked snugly in bed beneath a down comforter. Sunrise on this first morning of 2011 was beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBlog friends are REAL friends, separated by distance in most instances. I count my blog friends among my most precious blessings.
Happy New Year!!
Happy New Year to you and yours. Blessings.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a classy and colorful blog! I don't make resolutions either. I just try to get the most of each day and live in the moment and spend a lot of time in the garden! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteBrenda
