too dangerous. No longer can
the average citizen go out
into his own meadow or
fence-row and cut down an
evergreen tree as my father
did for us Those red-cedar
trees he brought us had
sharp and needle-hke leaves
and were not pleasant to
decorate. Now, even we have
succumbed to buying a pine
as our row of evergreens has
grown too tall to “top” as we
did in previous year
But eating Christmas
cookies is still in style and
therefore a lot of time is
spent in making an ample
supply. In years past, we are

to each stocking as a gift
from Santa

A season to sow, a season to reap
Working the land held in our keep
With these words, the men and women of farming perform their
varied activities throughout the changing seasons each year
While their methods have been revolutionized from previous hard
and tedious manual tasks to present modern mechanized efficiency,
their role as keepers of the land remains largely unchanged. They
prepare, care for and harvest the foundation of life itself.
Now is their season to plan for yet another season of rebirth of the
land As one year ends and another begins, let's remember these
keepers of the land and the life-giving meanng they impart to the
seasons.
