5.21.22 Mother Nature sure has brought on Spring’s Blessings with a vengeance over the past week or so. The grass is lush and deep green, growing taller than it has for a few years thanks to the abundance of rain of late. Still somewhat capricious in nature however, she has seen fit to give us… Continue reading A New Page

7.8.22 Well, drat! This year is sure turning out to be a challenging one! A rather weird thing happened yesterday evening. After chores were done in the morning, Darrell and I headed off to the shop to try to wrap up installing his new motor in the old 1951 Chevy Coupe, his latest project car.… Continue reading Patience Needed… Again!

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.

2.27.22 A little after five o’clock in the morning and here I am sitting in my easy chair, the kettle singing away on the cooker, close to boiling and the fire crackling and blazing in the stove. When I got up this morning, well actually, when I woke up over an hour ago, the urge… Continue reading Battles Near and Far.

2.13.22 I am slightly in the doldrums today. This past fortnight has been a tad challenging to say the least! 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
