A Season for Caring

Dear Farm Friends:

Birth. First day of school. Graduation day. First job. Wedding day. Birth of first child. 25th wedding anniversary. First grandchild. 55th wedding anniversary. First great grandchild. And so the seasons of life continue. 

Over the last several months, Farmer Caryl has been consumingly involved with the care of her mom (who we call Granny). Many of you may have met Granny or have been introduced to Granny in previous newsletters. She has been a part of our farm in many ways. Granny's health has been slowly declining, and last week Granny came to a new season in her life. After a week of around-the-clock care in the hospital, Granny entered a care facility yesterday. 

We are thankful for the timing of this season (during the quieter winter months). We are thankful for friends and family that have shown support and understanding. We are thankful for other details that have come together during this time (you'll have to ask Farmer Caryl about "those details" sometime).

Just like there are seasons in farming, there are seasons in life.

May you treasure your season,
Tara
(Farmer Caryl's Daughter)
