Growing Together
I was going through Facebook, and a post asked couples three questions to reflect on concerning the past year. First question was easy “How has your relationship grown closer this past year?”. We talk more about our feelings and concerns of situations happening in our lives. Our conversations are a little more in depth this…
Care of Self
This past year has been difficult for me and my family. I have faced many changes and challenges. Reflecting on the past year, I realized I neglected one very important person – myself. There are things I have to do each day to keep our homestead running such as feeding the sheep. I have to…
Ready for an Adventure?
While working in one of the grocery stores this past year, I was stopped by a custom wanting to locate an item she could not find. I had only been in this grocery store for a couple of weeks, and it was much larger than the one I came from. When asked if I could…
A New Year, New Start
For decades at the end of a year, I was planning for the next. What do I want to accomplish? What do I want to complete? Is it time to change out sheep rams, or sell some older ewes? Start a blog? Start a you tube channel? What ways can I create an income from…
Climbing Mountains
Today, while cleaning out cabinets, I found Bonnie Jo’s rope. Sadness hit me straight away. We played with that rope since she was a puppy. She was easy on her toy. In her later years, she did not want to play very often, but I kept the rope in the cabinet with the dog brushes.…
Everything Changed, I Changed, We Changed
It has been awhile since I put thoughts to words. At the close of each year, I reflect on the past year and look forward to the coming year. How would I sum up the year 2024? Simply as Death. 2024 has been the year of Death and Change. I have never wanted a year…
Disillusionment and Reality
I go through life thinking there is a silver lining behind every storm cloud, yet the reality is there is very seldom a silver lining. Yet, I press forward thinking one day I will reach the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Why do I have such thoughts or hopes or dreams.…
Terraces
Many projects have been happening on the farm and in life. The farm projects are long over due in getting done. These projects have been on “the list” for a year or two. Their length of time on “the list” has various reasons from sheer mechanics of doing the project to outright procrastination. Our farm…
Creative Touch
There are many creative activities I enjoy doing. The past year I have been learning how to create using epoxy resin. My interest started with You Tube videos. Watching others create jewelry, then proceeding to miniature sculptures frozen in time, to creating trays, bowls, tables and chess boards. My first experience using epoxy resin was…
Spring Around the Corner
Today I am home. A day off from working, but still working. My mind and hands are always busy, just a habit I think. Perhaps a habit created by having to work providing an income to put food on the table, clothes on the back and a roof over the head. Today’s task was planning…
