Simple Pleasures
Today was filled with all the simple things in life. I woke up before the alarm to a windless day and sun shining through my curtains making pretty shadows on my bedroom wall. While I lay there waking up I felt such comfort in my homemade quilt that I was snuggled under. When …

Therapy
Today started out to be an emotional one, as it is the fourth anniversary of my sister’s death. I woke finding myself sort of getting emotional and weepy. So I decided it was time to get my head and heart busy today. I go to my kitchen or my art studio when I need “therapy”. …

Veggie Tales
Today I found some marked down celery and a few bags of marked down carrots. I know my chickens love all of those things but I thought I would buy them and dehydrate them for soups/stews etc. I used my mother’s old slicer and made carrot chips and lined two trays of my little dehydrator. …

John Stamos At The Kentucky Derby
First of all, we both know you clicked on this entry because you were wondering.. hmm.. what the heck is she talking about. Well, last night I had a whackydoodle dream about the Kentucky Derby. Me, being a pretty big “tomboy” was all lacy and in a dress with one of those typical derby …

Building The Coop
You know it’s spring when you wake up to the sound of week old chicks in a rubbermaid container sitting on your kitchen table. I bought them last Saturday when they were only two days old. I bought a dozen of them and lost one Monday morning. I wasn’t surprised when one died because being …

What Do You Do For A Living? I can’t count the times, whether it be on bank paperwork, in general conversations or filling out insurance information that the entire world needs to know what you do for a living. How does one write what a stay at home wife/mother does for a living. Most of …
