Recovering Chick
My sister and her husband have been spending extra time caring for one of their new chicks. When she arrived and was in the brooder with the rest, she was not eating or drinking and would cry and peep loudly when another chick would bump into her. So they put her in her own box […]
The Chicks Arrived
My sister who lives on a “mini-ranch” got a chicken coop a few weeks ago and has been working on getting it ready. She ordered some baby chicks to be delivered and waited in anticipation. I had no idea that you could mail order chicks, but that is how it worked. The chicks arrived yesterday […]
Avoided Accident
I was so happy that we were able to stay overnight at the cabin. Even though it was a somewhat restless night for all, we were able to take in another gorgeous day. In the afternoon we got everything packed up and ready for the trip home. Just as I was about to put the […]
Getting Away
It was a beautiful day today. What made it even better was the fact that both my mom and dad felt well and we were able to make a trip to the cabin. There is something about crisp, mountain air that is rejuvenating. And getting away from the hustle and bustle of the city puts […]
Expanding the Farm
Today I got caught up on posts from my sister’s website. She and her husband bought a 10-acre “mini-ranch” last year. They spend all their spare time fixing the place up. First it was inside, then it was outside. My sister planted a large garden last year while her husband cut shrubs and tall grass […]
Beautiful Ending
My mom and I have been reading a book based on the life and writings of St. Therese of Lisieux. Today my mom read about her death. It was described that her breathing became weak and labored. She looked at the crucifix and said, “My God, I love you.” Those with her thought that was […]
Hearts United Forever
My mom and I are happy that Dancing With the Stars new season has begun. We watched it tonight. Each competitor told about their most memorable year and incorporated that into their dance. There were some very moving stories – both happy and sad. The story that touched me the most came from Doug Flutie […]
Divine Mercy in Pandora
Today is Divine Mercy Sunday and I have been looking forward to it. A very good friend gave me the “Diary of St. Faustina” many years ago. It has only been within the past year that I have started reading it, just a little at a time as there is much to contemplate. St. Faustina had […]
Not Too Much Trouble
As I was out and about this afternoon, I pulled into a busy shopping area. At one of the busiest intersections was a seemingly homeless man sitting with his backpack and carelessly holding a sign that I could not read. Across the road from him a young woman was jogging his direction. I thought that […]
What Is It About Flowers?
I got a bouquet of cut spring flowers for the table for Easter. My mom knows how to prepare them and arrange them so they look like they came straight from the florist. This time, however, I thought I would “help”. I told my mom that I usually just cut the ends off and put […]
