What a year to say goodbye to.  I have been saying this a lot lately.  It seems that at the end of each year, we say "Thank god that one is over. Next year has got to be better!

Allow me to elaborate on why it is wonderful to say good bye:

Red squirrels ate all of my nut tree seedlings that I was hardening off in my greenhouse in the spring.


My daughter had appendicitis and had to have her appendix removed


We had an electrical fire in the house;

A weasel ate all of my first batch of meat birds and all of my laying hens for this year (60 in total)

Record drought and heat waves caused the well to almost run dry;

I was hospitalized with "Beaver Fever" - Campylobacter virus
David Bowie and George Michael passed away, along with Fidel Castro and many other interesting people of note.

My daughter got tossed off her horse and badly hurt her tailbone;

My tractor's steering fell apart

Bears attacked my bee hives - a few times!
