4.24.22 What a peaceful morning it is. Still chilly enough for me to get a good fire started in the old wood cookstove but that is okay, since at this time of year that old stove provides us not only with warmth but our main means of cooking. I can hear the low rumble of… Continue reading My Cup Runneth Over

4.9.22 My goodness but it has been windy of late! I mean really windy! I know March is known for its winds, but the gusty days are certainly not over now we have entered April! I do like to listen to the wind in the trees, a gentle, soft sighing wind, but these gusts that… Continue reading Bend and Sway

3.27.22 It is time for the turning of the earth. That time of year when the days are lengthening, temperatures are warming, birds are singing and nest building, and the earth calls to you. Because we tend to leave such things as carrots and Brussel sprouts and the occasional few onions in the garden over… Continue reading Turning of the Earth

I do not make a very patient patient and having a broken wing tends to severely test my tolerance at times! However, it is amazing how much one can accomplish with only one fully functioning arm… Continue reading Scars

1.30.22 Tuesday morning, January 25th, a little before 5 o’clock, after donning my coat, gloves, wooly hat and wellies, I quietly left the house. The snow sparkled in the moonlight while in the sky a myriad of stars twinkled above me. It was cold. The ground was an obstacle course of crusty snow interspersed with… Continue reading The Fall

1.16.22 Intuition. It is a nebulous thing. Animals definitely possess it and I know we humans do too. You know the feeling, that sensation one gets in the pit of one’s stomach that signals something is amiss or about to happen, often moments before the actual event happens? Intuition is a marvelous thing and not… Continue reading Intuition

1.9.22 A chilly 20 degrees out there this morning. Despite the predicted rising in our daytime temperatures, it has not quite been enough to disperse the accumulation of heavy, wet snow that graced our farm this past week. The final depth total was 18” which then started melting and packed down to a much more… Continue reading Milking makes the day.

1.1.22 Happy New Year to all my dear friends and family! Goodness me! 2021 seemed to pass at quite an alarming rate. One minute we were bringing in the New Year, before we knew it summer was on the wane then Christmas zoomed in and was here before we could blink! Now a New Year,… Continue reading Happy New Year!
