If you live on a farm and you wanna keep warm, propane

If you want to heat right, you’ve got to use it at night – propane.
All your troubles are past when you use LP gas – propane.
It’s all right, it’s all right, it’s all right – propane.

Well, you can heat up the barn and keep the hayloft real warm – propane.
You keep it in a big tank, because, ay, does it stink! – propane.
It’s all right, it’s all right, it’s all right – propane.

Lucy and Ripley: Christmas Card

This year’s card captures our mood perfectly. Lucy –the newest addition to our family– spent September through November in a small, wire crate and wasn’t inclined to “stay” for Barb’s annual card shoot. But the tradition continues and while there’s not quite enough peace in the world, there’s a small patch in front of our fireplace for which we are truely grateful.
