I Have Nothing To Say!

Not Much To Say!

Image by Debby Hudson on Unsplash – I love her photography because she always captures real life! Disappointment Maybe it’s trip lag or maybe I’ve run out and my well is dry. But I cannot think of anything of value to say here in a blog. I started the picture book about our trip –… [Read More]

The Robin and The String – Again!

April 11, 2018 by admin 41 Comments

[Most of us, in the Continental United States, are so grossly over winter. Do I have a witness? Can I have an amen? BUT, last week I did see a Mrs. Robin in the yard. And, this week we had two pairs of Mr. and Mrs. Rufous-Sided Towhee. Spring is on its way! There will… [Read More]

How Can It Be So Wrong When It Feels So Right?

April 26, 2017 by admin 52 Comments

It was 1979. The phone rang. “Hello.” There was a pause and then the song, Reunited by Peaches and Herb, began to play. I stood there stunned. Willing myself to hang up but frozen and unable to move. Reunited, and it feels so good Reunited, ’cause we understood There’s one perfect fit And, sugar, this one… [Read More]

Are You Sleeping With The Enemy?

April 5, 2017 by admin 38 Comments

A few weeks ago I was sweeping the kitchen floor – just the simplicity of that task soothed my funky, post-vacation soul that morning.  And as He does, He spoke to me – I told you about that here. As I swept this thought came to me: To know how to fight one must know who… [Read More]

So, this happened yesterday at home. Hubs was tend So, this happened yesterday at home. Hubs was tending his garden bed out in the corner of the common area and almost stepped on this Momma lake turtle, laying her eggs. He went away and returned hours later and found she had dampened the area and laid sticks on top! He framed it out in pic 3. 60 day incubation and then all those wee turtles will find their way back to the lake!!! How cool is that? #lakelife #tinyhousebiglife #fromfarmtoflat2tinyhouse
Yellow doors scream, "You are welcome here! Come i Yellow doors scream, "You are welcome here! Come in! Rest and peace are found within these doors!" 5 years ago this month we left this house, our home for 30 years. We raised one son here, and for A LOT of summers, the old squeaky screendoor opened and closed with the joy of grandkids. Fireflies,  a front porch bat, pussycats, dogs, goats, turkeys, and oinkers grazed the 14 acres. The ring of a blacksmith's anvil clanged for years as my husband designed and created beautiful ironwork. The best goat cheese hung from cheesecloth in its kitchen. Puzzles took shape on the old dining table, and Mexican Train domino challenges snaked along its patina'd surface. Blueberries were picked. Grapes  simmered and bubbled into homebrew! But seasons change. Kids grow and leave home. We grew and left. Happy memories.  Love grew there, and for that, we are forever blessed. Sweet, sweet memories.
