It’s funny how life can change in a blink of an eye. One minute your pushing soap at anyone and everyone who will look, listen, and sniff. The next your packing up a peterbilt with your name on the door and pulling out of the yard for destinations unknown.
OK, so I haven’t left yet. I […]

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

Another ritual we have on Saturday nights is to light the house by candle light and have a few drinks. It gives us time to discuss the weeks events, what is going on for the following week and just time to be quiet with ourselves or crank the tunes- which is what happened last night… It’s our thing […]

Meet Squeaky Monroe. He has like the other 3 cats I have in the house- shown up on our property unannounced and taken my heart against my will. I try my hardest to ignore them and hope they will sleep in the barn happily, but for some reason they always pine for me on my door step […]

No it is not a mirage, it really is water folks!
So, we have been holding out, wondering, waiting, and looking at costs for a new well vs. pump.
The last few days of my life have went something like this; Take a shower, water horses,ducks, and chickens and wait. Cross your fingers, skip showers, water chickens […]

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 […]

It’s been a busy weekend so far and it’s only Sunday morning. We try to do things around here the best we can without having to hire it done. It (usually) saves us a lot of money and we get a good job done without the worry of someone else doing as good of a […]

I’m a little late in my blog reading, but the other day Karl over at the Pile of Omelays suggested an animal roll call- so I thought I would join in the fun.
2 Dogs- Harley Rose & Dottie (that’s her with the cool necklace on- she has really bad allergies that make her skin crawl- to the […]
