Merry Christmas
May peace be with you this season.
And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.

Pumpkins-Oh How Versatile!
Pumpkins! They come in all shapes and sizes! Fat ones, tall, skinny ones, stuffed ones, warty ones , carved ones and, primitive ones!
We use pumpkins in displays both carved and uncarved!
We bake them in pies, breads, cookies! Pumpkins are truly versatile!
Do you know some of the health benefits of eating pumpkin?
Our local hospital had this to say:
Pumpkin can help prevent catarcacts, helps to protect against infections, ans promotes healthy skin, protects our cells form the degenerative process of aging, provides zinc, iron. fiber, and other vitamins tp promote health- so don't feel so guilty about eating those pumpin treats!

Simple Pleasures!
We have so many trees around our house that a lot of leaves had already fallen on our front porch- so today I raked them in a pile and burned them.
They were popping and crackling and the smell of woodsmoke filled the air- for some reason I found this so relaxing and it brought back many childhood memories.
Simple truly is good!!

Bartering- A way of Pioneer Survival
To survive the harsh Prairie winters Pioneers traded with Indians. The Indians provided animal furs that the pioneers used for making coats and blankets. In turn the Indians recieved guns and ammunition, glass beads, and many times alchohol.Eventually the US government kept moving the Indians further west and animals became more scarce from over hunting.

Prairie Bonnets- a Pictorial
Prairie bonnets were worn for protection from the Prairie sun and wind. The styles were so varied. I have surfed the web and found several different styles and fabrics.
