Morning frost that gave me a gentle reminder the world is more magic than ever.

Last week husband and I took a trip to Sioux Falls to see a specialist for a spot on his nose that wouldn’t go away. Since late July he has had this spot that started out looking like a pimple but after a month or so, would bleed when he would shower every morning. I […]
Rituals. We all have them right? Whether it be how you do your clothes each week, do the dishes every night after work or that special bath you take just for yourself. Today I thought I would share one of mine with you- it’s nothing big and fancy mind you but it is something that […]
Since early this summer, I’ve been having these recurring dreams. My dream, well I don’t know if it’s even a dream at this point or just strong feelings because it’s kinda weird- which suites me just perfectly, happens like this…
At least once a week I have these “feelings”. Like either someone is standing at my doorway to my bedroom looking […]
I’m sad to say we (my husband) had to put down one of my hens. She was one of my 3 year olds, a Black Australorp that did a fine job of entertaining us, eating bugs on our farm and she provided us with many fresh eggs over the years. She will be missed much. I gave her […]
About a month ago although it seems like only last week, I took a journey up to my parents house in north eastern Minnesota. I have been having a lot go on in my head and life lately so needed to just veg out for a couple of days. It was a crappy few days with […]

Water Wake Up
Posted in Meme, Learning, Our Farm House, Life on Aug 17th, 2007
When you go without water for even a short while, it makes you think. It makes you look at your movements throughout the day. It first dawned on me when I knew we didn’t have water, yet I walked into the kitchen to wash my hands before preparing supper. You just assume it should be […]
H2 No?

Living on a farm always has it’s challenges. Old farm houses always seem to need repair of some kind and today is no exception to the rule. This morning I ordered a new front door and this afternoon we are without water.
I decided to fill the ducks pool with clean water since they like to […]
Harvest & Sustainability
Posted in Learning, The Garden, Life on Jul 30th, 2007
Well, garden harvest is starting up around here. Tonight we will start the task of freezing corn before it gets too ripe and/or the coons start coming to visit. We are lucky as I think the horses make good watch dogs for the garden since they don’t miss much around here. Speaking of horses I […]
