Winter Can Be Beautiful

My favorite time of year is fall.  That is when the nights are cool and days start crisp and then warm up and the daylight color has that nice warm glow to it.  Plus the leaves and other plants turning color (even in the northwest) are great to look at.

However, winter time can be just as beautiful when the sun is out and frost is on the trees and grass.  I came into work early the other morning and my wife sent me the attached video looking out the back of our house.

There is nothing about taxes or farm business today.  Just wanted to share this with you.  It is the season to reflect on how good we have it even with COVID and everything else going on.  We are still blessed to be involved with Ag.

Many thanks to you and your wife for sharing your beautiful backyard view. You are correct in saying we are all blessed to be involved in ag. And that we get to live and work so closely with God’s creation. Merry Christmas!

Wow! That is beautiful. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us throughout the year. Merry Christmas and Happy 2021 to you and yours!

Great video, no wonder you would like to spend more time at home.

Was wondering if you could review the new NOL rules and if we need to go back and amend tax returns.
Even if we don’t want to carry back any NOL’s and they took 80% of 2018 years NOL’s to 2019.

Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for sharing it with us. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family.

What beautiful landscape! You are truly blessed with a big open backyard like that and to be able to see the true beauty of the land!

Just beautiful! Thank you for sharing that! And thank you Paul, a million times, for all the timely, informational blogs during this crazy year we have had.

Thanks Paul.
That is so beautiful.

Beautiful!
