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 […]
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 […]
Here Kitty
Last summer we got my dad a “game cam” for Father’s Day. We thought it would be fun to put it up at their cabin in the mountains to capture animal activity. We were pretty sure that we found bobcat tracks just up the road from the house. It took a few months to figure […]
Gardens and Gratitude
My sister loves plants. At one point she even considered going into horticulture as a career. Not surprisingly, she recently became a member of the Botanical Gardens. They had a special tour set up for new members today and she invited me to go, but I have been hesitant to leave my parents alone for […]
Blessed Day With Friends
I was blessed to spend another day with my good friends. I met them at their bed and breakfast to start our day. Just before I got to the entrance, I spotted a buck grazing right along the road. I took a couple pictures and thought it was a wonderful way to begin. My friends […]
Day With Far Away Friends
Today some very good friends who live far away arrived for a visit. We met when I was working in the church and I haven’t seen them for a year. I was so excited to see them and was teary eyed as we hugged hello. They came early in the morning, so we had breakfast […]
Our Amazing World
My younger sister is between jobs at this time, so we have decided to spend one day a week doing something together and enjoyable. Today was a free day at the museum of nature and science, so that was our destination. It was very thought provoking as we basically made our way through time. We […]
Stunning Sunrise
I haven’t been up to see the sunrise in quite a while, but this morning I woke at just the right time. I wasn’t really sure if the sun was already up as I knew it would be a cloudy morning and it did not seem to be particularly bright. It didn’t really matter – […]
Fall Colors
Today my sister and her husband decided they had enough working on their farm for a while and wanted to head out to enjoy the beautiful Fall season. I was glad that they asked if my other sister and I wanted to come along. The Fall color changing season is so short and the weather […]
