Original Transplants Episode 50: "Short Days, Long Nights"

Original Transplants, special solstice 2019 edition, begins with Will and Sarah discussing tools they've worn out, replaced, upgraded, and can't live without after six years on the homestead. Sarah then describes the homestead harvest preserves and crafts she's giving as holiday gifts, including homemade bee wraps. Will and Sarah make homestead News Years Resolutions, and Sarah reads "A Visit from Jack Frost," the Satoyama Homestead parody of "A Visit from St. Nick ('Twas the Night Before Christmas)".
