12.15.24 Sometimes, when one has been so blessed by something in one’s life, when it is time to let that certain something go that has brought you so much pleasure over the years, it is hard. I can honestly say I have been blessed for the past 13 years to have had a phenomenal milk… Continue reading End of an Era…

12.1.24 It is a rather chilly start to the day as I sit here at just a wee bit past four o’clock in the morning although the fire crackling away in the wood stove will soon have it toasty warm in the living room. I really should have a pot of brittle on the go… Continue reading A Heart to Heart Talk

11.17.24 What a day it was yesterday! Our first bazaar of the upcoming holiday season and my goodness was it a busy one! For almost 10 years now we have made the 83 mile trek to this neighbouring town of Condon in order to attend the Fall Festival. Yes, our first trip there was back… Continue reading Gratitude and Old Friends.

11.3.24 It is half past five in the morning. Well, technically it is half past four in the morning since the clocks were turned back last night.

I was in need of having such a day as quite a few… Continue reading Seasonal Treat Time!

10.6.24 What a fortnight it has been! Good mind you, very busy, but it does make us wonder where the time went! One minute we were entering September and the next saying cheerio to it. We had our first frost last month as well as some more scorching hot days and another fire pop up… Continue reading Pumpkins & Munchkins

9.8.24 This has to a be a year for the record books. It seems as if wildfire season started early and still is raging on. Our own Grant County and neighbouring Wheeler County has seen more than its fair share of what has officially been termed, Mega Fires of late. The Lone Rock Fire scorched… Continue reading Fires…

8.25.24 There is a definite crispness to the air this morning. A certain tang that suggests a seasonal change is on the horizon. Autumn is just around the corner and although it will officially start on September 21st – well on the 22nd this year at near quarter to six in the morning to be precise –… Continue reading Inevitable Change

8.11.24 What a time this has been on the Triple H Homestead for the past few weeks! July 17th a lightning storm started a wildfire. That blaze quickly went from a few acres to 300 then what with hot, dry and very windy weather, blossomed speedily into a few thousand acres, seemingly doubling in size on… Continue reading Necessary Evil!
