As we approach the beginning of a new year, the large, efficient, extremely qualified, totally dedicated, and highly motivated staff at Serendipity Farmhouse has been working a relaxed holiday schedule. Which is to say, we’re taking some time off and living in the Christmas season rather than just talking about it.

Highlight 1: The coming months will brings some reorganization and upgrades to the SFH blog. When completed, readers should be able to find their way to topics of interest in an easier and more rapid fashion. Despite the advice from my “inner cheap”, we will upgrade our blog plan and introduce new features, bells, and whistles.

Because the pointy-headed, eavesdropping, irksome Elf on the Shelf, Clyde, reported favorably to Santa concerning our behavior, beautiful spouse and I received an Ambient Weather WiFi OSPREY weather station on Christmas morning. (View the featured picture above.) Sometime in the next two weeks or so, we hope to replace the hit or miss weather reporting we’ve been providing with near real-time readings from right here at  SFH ground zero.

Highlight 2:  2018 has been the year of the good, the bad, and the ugly. Here’s a very brief review:

The Good: Family visits –The Bad: Alarming RV messages – (By the way, this message returned this week.)The Ugly: Tea party fashion fail –
