It has been my “tra­di­tion” for many years now, once the Christ­mas tree is up, to get up while it is still dark, plug in the lights, turn on the Christ­mas music and just sit and take in the tree. The lights sparkle, the music is beau­ti­ful and it gives me moments of seren­ity and […]

Let me tell you. Hav­ing live­stock in the win­ter sucks. Actu­ally, liv­ing on a farm in the win­ter sucks espe­cially when you have had the win­ter we have had so far and IT’S NOT EVEN WINTER YET!  Ninety per­cent of the time I love liv­ing in the coun­try. Today not so much. This is what […]

Ha! Just wrapped the last gift, the cards are sent, have 2 hol­i­day cakes to make and I am DONE! WAHOO. No more scrooging around for me! Na na na na na.

I  am up and mov­ing. That is about all I can do after get­ting wal­loped by the flu bug late Thurs­day night. I have no recall of yes­ter­day. Holy flu. More later when the world isn’t com­ing at me thru a fog.

We are “hun­kerin’” down for the first big win­ter storm of the sea­son which isn’t going to come because 1)They have let all the schools out early 2)They have post­poned bas­ket­ball and vol­ley­ball games for tonight 3)Businesses are clos­ing early 4) I opened the barn for the horses to go in and out as they […]

Right after my grand­son was born, I wrote that I thought the mar­riage vows should be applied to the arrival of chil­dren as well. “To have and to hold, from this day for­ward, for bet­ter for worse, richer or poorer, in sick­ness and in health.…” It just seems so fit­ting for all the joys and […]

Christ­mas is 24 days from today. Holy “bet­ter get my Christ­mas shop­ping done” time!!!
