For some reason, I find my head spinning with several different thoughts of several different projects and several different tasks I’d like to do. These don’t include the daily must-do’s ~ just some things I think I’d enjoy accomplishing. Perhaps making a list of them will help me achieve them. Or, at least one of [...]

Well, folks, we have a winner of the Ten Things In a Hodge Podge Give-Away III! I am delighted there was someone still interested in taking this stuff off our hands! The winner is…Wanda! Now, Wanda, you have to promise to accept this package and not return to sender, okay? We hope the contents will [...]

We’re a live-and-let-live kind of people here on the Prairie Farmstead, plus I have a really tender heart when it comes to nature’s critters. I stop the mower for snake and toad crossings, and I worry about ‘my’ little birds when a big storm rolls through. Back on Monday, May 30, we experienced some ‘special’ [...]

We had another one of those whacky weather days this past Monday. You can pretty much plan on a good storm when the forecast says “Particular Dangerous Situation Tornado Watch.” A typical tornado watch usually doesn’t have the ‘particular dangerous situation’ verbiage included. So, when it is, you sort of sit up and take notice. [...]

Somehow, the weeks keep managing to slip by me. I mean, I know I went through them, because I am here. But, wow. It doesn’t help that summer has arrived and I no longer feel like anything but a Chicken Caesar Salad sounds good. Well, maybe a traditional taco salad. Or, perhaps a good antipasto [...]

I don’t exactly remember what I was doing the other day, but something made me think about spiritual gifts. Of course, that naturally led my thoughts to what my spiritual gifts might be. We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man’s gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion [...]

It’s been a while since we’ve updated you on this year’s modest little garden. Some things seem to be progressing quite well, while others…not so much. The girls and I did a bit of tending out there this morning. We pulled grass from the bed boxes and did some general tidying by raking the pathways. [...]

No, not really. We have a clean couch! We’ve had this couch for nearly ten years now, and I am ashamed to admit I’ve never thoroughly cleaned it. I mean, I’ve spot cleaned it, but that’s as far as it went. Needless to say, it was beginning to look like it’d seen better days. Probably [...]
