Alright, who stole last week from us?! There is no way it can be Monday all over again, can it?? Oy! I’d like to say it’s a beautiful Memorial Day ~ it is for the right reasons ~ but, it’s certainly not a nice day for a BBQ…or any outdoor activities, for that matter. We’ve [...]

1. Recent storms have been producing some spectacular skyward scenes. As the evening went on, the light displayed in this particular thunderhead became even more astounding with shades of pinks and oranges. I didn’t capture any of those shots, though, as it was already raining. I didn’t want to get wet. I was afraid I [...]

I thought I would take some time this morning to share with you a little bit of what’s been happening around the Farmstead over the past couple of weeks. After our bout of record-breaking hot weather, things cooled back off and the rains came. A little bit of warm weather, water and sunshine is all [...]

Allow me to preface this with the fact that ‘Goop’ is the term Darling Husbie lovingly coined for the word ‘casserole.’ It’s become common word around here, and a standard reply to the question, “What are we having for dinner?” Goop. A nice simple one-word answer. And, how blessed am I to be married to [...]

This will be a week of sorting through and consolidating stuff in the freezers. I’ve got stuff scattered throughout the four freezers, and I’ve lost track of what we’ve got and how much. I know there’s still some veggies from the garden last summer that need to be used up. I’ll have to see how [...]

After my streak of bad luck last Thursday, I thought I was out of the woods with a fresh new start the next morning. I was, too…for about an hour and a half. Then, all blood broke loose. I was cleaning out the refrigerator, consolidating items that I could still identify, and wanted to put [...]

Here we are once again, and all I want to put on the menu is popsicles, ice cream, shaved ice and frozen yogurt. I never thought I’d say this while living in Nebraska ~ especially after being a desert rat for nearly 30 years ~ but, it’s hot! Now, before you laugh at me, it [...]

…I’d have no luck at all. At least not on this day. Have you ever had one of those days where you feel like you’d be a lot safer if you just crawled back into bed and pulled the covers over your head? That was me today. My day started out nice and early, where [...]

I am incredibly rich with blessings ~ and I am extremely grateful for each of them. I thought I’d share just a few…in no particular order. 1. My Beloved Husband ~ I will never be able to express enough gratitude for my most wonderful, compassionate husband who is intelligent, witty, fun-loving, patient and humble, and [...]
