It’s coming on Christmas
they’re cuttin’ down trees.
They’re puttin’ up reindeer
and singin’ songs of joy and peace,

Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on.

But it don’t snow here;
stays pretty green.
I’m gonna make a lot of money,
then I’m gonna quit this crazy scene,

I wish I had a river
I could skate away on.
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on.

I made my baby cry.

He tried hard to help me,
you know, he put me at ease
and he loved me so naughty,
made me weak in the knees,

Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on.

I’m so hard to handle
I’m selfish and I’m sad,
Now I’ve gone and lost
the best baby
that I ever had.

Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on
I wish I had a river so long
I would teach my feet to fly
I wish I had a river
I could skate away on.

I made my baby say good-bye.

It’s coming on Christmas
they’re cuttin’ down trees.
They’re puttin’ up reindeer
and singin’ songs of joy and peace,

Oh, I wish I had a river
I could skate away on.

Words & Music by Joni Mitchell

I hadn’t started yet.

I finally got my feeder truck.

I almost kissed the ground. I told the guy who brought it, “I could have walked to Nebraska and pushed the truck home in better time than it was delivered”. But it’s here. It starts, it runs, the brakes work, the scale works and I’ve been using it. It has its flaws, don’t we all? I need to take care of some of that before they become major problems. But it isn’t getting a total makeover - any more than I am.

The cattle are enjoying the variety in their menu.
This is the first year that they weren’t put out on beet tops.
Sugar has decided that she needs to come with me.

Thank goodness she’s small.
