We had an unusual Christmas in North Carolina this year in that we actually had a white one. Snow fell late on Christmas Day and into the next. The views from the windows of my house were quite wonderful.

As we pause for the holiday season, I am thankful for my two sons and daughter-in-law who are all home with us and thank you for following this blog. To all of you a very Merry Christmas.

Earlier this summer I posted some images of my neighbor Gary McMasters harvesting his burley tobacco on his farm in Grays Chapel, North Carolina. The tobacco has been hanging in his barn drying for several months. Saturday when I stopped by I found Gary starting a fire in the stove in his pack barn so he and his neighbor Charlie could work on grading his crop. Grading burley tobacco involves stripping the leave off the stalks and separating them by “grades” into piles. The piles are then placed into a press and made into bales which are sold at market. The stove is necessary because for one thing it’s pretty cold in the pack barn, but the heat also helps put the tobacco in “order”, or in other words, it helps Gary keep the humidity right so he can work with the leaves without too much or not enough moisture.

It’s a Saturday afternoon and there is a light rain/sleet falling. Most of us are either out shopping at the mall or sitting in a warm place watching football or basketball. At Williams Dairy in Grays Chapel, North Carolina, for Greg, Rick and Michael Williams, Saturday means cleaning up the cow lot and getting things ready for milking a herd of Holsteins no matter what the weather.
