Whacky Weather

| June 23, 2011

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. [...]

Missing My Calling?

| June 19, 2011

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 [...]

We Got a New Couch!

| June 15, 2011

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 [...]

Ten Things You May (Not) Wish To Know

| May 24, 2011

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 [...]

Farmstead First Aid Kit

| May 14, 2011

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 [...]

If It Weren’t For Bad Luck…

| May 5, 2011

…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 [...]

Ten Things I Am Thankful For

| May 4, 2011

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 [...]
