Found the Rocks
I had a couple of available hours this afternoon, so my son and I went on a little hike. I wanted to try a place that was close, but somewhere that I hadn’t been. Online I found what looked like a great option and saw photos of some pretty interesting rock formations. We set off […]
Lessons on the Farm
I talked with a woman today who said she was making a trip to the butcher this weekend. She explained that she lives on a farm and raises goats among other animals. She would be taking many of them to the butchers and getting back over 500 pounds of meat. I asked if she felt […]
Ordinary Miracles
My mom and I were looking for a nice movie to watch tonight and came across “Charlotte’s Web”. I loved the book as a child and read it over and over again, so we watched it. The movie was cute with the talking animals and kept close to the story I remembered when I was […]
Growing Friendship
I had a few hours to myself today and was amazed at the beautiful weather. So a friend and I went for a hike. She is a faithful Christian who I met through one of my mom’s Parkinson’s groups and has shared some beautiful caregiving inspirations with me. We thanked God along the way for the […]
Hidden Shell
A friend shared a sweet story today. He was at the beach with his family, including his son and granddaughter. When they visited the shops, the little girl found a shell that she just loved. Her dad bought the shell without her knowing it and when they returned to the shore, he hid it in […]
Bluest Sky
We made a quick trip to the cabin today. This morning, the weather forecaster said the sky would be clear all day long. He was right. The further we went into the mountains and the higher we went in altitude, the sky just kept turning more blue. It was noticeable and vibrant. Occasionally we would […]
Record Birds
We spent another day at the cabin today and put the birdfeeders out just as the sun was rising. There were birds already visiting the deck wondering where the food was. We once again enjoyed the activity and antics of the birds as they flew back and forth from trees to feeders. And we were […]
Entertaining Jays
We made a trip up to the cabin today and put out the bird feeders as soon as we arrived. The first to notice were two Stellar’s Jays. They are really too big for the feeders and usually clean up the ground after the smaller birds. But they must have been hungry, because they were […]
Equine Therapy
I talked with a teen today about her involvement in equine therapy. This program was made available to her and others who are currently living in foster homes. She told me how she first met her horse and started by learning how to take care of him. She groomed him, walked him, and eventually was […]
Fall Oasis
We headed home today after spending a few days at the cabin. The fall colors up there were breathtaking. The gold and orange leaves “quaked” in the breeze as the sunlight shone through them. They were stunning against the deep blue sky. Even though it was cool, cloudy, and foggy this morning, it only added […]
