While the guys trudge out every morning to feed their different bunches of cattle, I sit in my house, hands warmed by my first cup of coffee. At single digit temperatures, I’m happy to take my time waking up to meet the crisp morning. I’m sure it would be better for me to go find…

#TBT: New Highway
So strange to look through old photos and realize the road you drive on daily, (without thinking about it, accepting its presence) was actually built not that long ago. Well, duh. I mean, you know it when you think about it… but still… it’s fun to see some highway construction photos… And the view I’ve…
Wordless Wednesday : “Time Machine”
Time Machine
Belly Deep
The other day, Vernon helped the neighbors bring in their cows. It was one of the days that it rained… on top of snow… creating a slippery, sloppy mess! It was cold and foggy, with a wind chill increased because they were riding four wheelers instead of horses. Vernon is now the proud owner of…
Fog
I’m sorry, this round of germ warfare is lasting forever. Last Friday it started and I’ve been in a relative non-moving fog ever since. I felt a bit better yesterday, so I thought I’d make a good dinner for Vernon, who has been politely living off his supply of frozen food… of course, we are…
Last One Started
As I recover from the latest bout of grandchildren based germ warfare… and they win every time, by the way… I started on Reagan’s Christmas stocking. Yes, I’m late… don’t tell her! Oh, it needs sparkle… and… more… but hey, the last grandchild now can catch up to the other seven!
#TBT: Sudden Tears

Miss Her
Oh, how I still miss her. She could whistle like a song bird and make any chore fun. She was great at playing jacks, and she could grow a great garden. She led by example, with grace and faith. Her cooking was delicious even if my dad would teasingly only give her an eight out…
Tater Bug
Well, I’ve spent most of the day looking for a photo I should have a copy of… and looking for it in a book… and on the internet. I give up because I know many of you will just email me a copy after I post this! I helped Johnny clear out more of his…
New Favorite Photo
This little girl thinks her “Grampy” is pretty dog-gone special.
Eight Cold Eggs
Colorful metaphors. Best intentions. However you want to describe it… I had a horrible failure. I mentioned with my video of the chicken laying her egg, that I thought it was my broody hen. Well, it wasn’t, of course, just an interloper adding to the nest. But I had been watching my broody girl… and…
