Every year, Clover likes to dress up at Christmastime, put on a festive tableau, and make a holiday address. Sometimes she’s a little reluctant to participate, but I know she doesn’t mean it. She loves to be the center of attention. Don’t you, Clover?
YOU’RE WEARING THAT, MISSY.
CLOVER!
Get back here!
It’s time for your FESTIVE TABLEAU and your HOLIDAY ADDRESS!
Clover: “Be not so stupid, Woman.”
“I can’t address my people until I’m on my throne.”
“We wish you a Merry Christmas from Stringtown Rising Farm!” P.S. And that is the royal we.

3rd picture down? Morgan is positioned just so, and I was actually wondering if that was someone in a donkey mask or what. And then I saw the foot sticking out of the back!
I actually have not had any nog. Yet.
Merry Christmas!

It’s ” as quiet as a mouse ” here. My cup of coffee in hand, and I still want to check my favorite place to be in the morning ( with the cast and characters of CITR!). Merry Christmas to you and yours, Suzanne and thank you for the myriad of ways you’ve blessed all of us this year. T’would be a sad world, indeed, without the fun, trials and tribs you choose to share with all of us!
From our house to yours-
Peace!

Merry Christmas Suzanne! Thank you so much for making my day so many times during this past year. I absolutely love Chickens in the Road and find myself getting so excited, just wondering what little nugget of delight that I am going to find when I open up your pages. Thank you Clover for getting all dressed up and getting on your throne to wish us a Merry Christmas!

Jill and George on Birchbark Farm says:
Suzanne and Clover, you have us howling over here in MI. We have a goat dairy ourselves, and know well how uncooperative goats can be. They won’t do anything that wasn’t their idea or which doesn’t involve tasty bits. Affectionate, intelligent, beautiful, productive, fun-loving…yessirree. Cooperative for someone else’s benefit or entertainment…rarely. Thanks for the fun pix and perfect story line.
