As for the beard, yeah, I've been letting it grow long since late last year. Originally I was going to just do it as a 'winter beard' and see what happened. But my wife likes it long, so I'm going to let it keep growing and see what happens. I'm a little taken aback by the amount of grey that's coming in. You can see a big patch of grey in one of my photos in the original post, back at the corner of my jaw. Oh well, that's life.

It's getting long enough now that when the wind blows, it feels really odd! Like a small child tugging on it.
The lady does fine work! Very impressive and the thistle is a great touch.

I started to re-grow mine, but the grey is coming in way too splotchy. What was once nearly all auburn is now various shades of browns and greys. Way too calico for me. Hoping to see how well yours grows up!
