Ice jam should be a blue, delicious, jelly… lightly tasting of cool mint, vanilla, and chocolate. Spread on a cracker with cream cheese, it would be a delight! Unfortunately, that is *NOT* what ice jam means. An ice jam is when ice is broken out of a river due to warming weather or melted runoff…
Doin’ Her Thing
My journaling class was a success… I think my 12 attendees had a good time. That’s about all we can fit into our little room at tables, so it was perfect! It’s continuing to melt RAPIDLY around here. Fifty degrees will do that! Every little depression or draw is now home to a river of…

Questions and Answers – February 2017 Edition
Steph: I was wondering if you use the same veterinarian for both large and small animals. Yes, we do.

Quiet Evening
Our evenings are pretty quiet around here… a little tv, a little crafting, a little reading, maybe some snoring… but our doorbell rang tonight. A neighbor girl stopped in to tell us she had just seen a mountain lion on the highway a few miles up the road by our other place. She said it…
#TBT: Cabin and Dogs
This is possibly Ernest and Louise Greet at their cabin with their dogs. I thought their cabin was on Otter Creek… but maybe I’m thinking of William Greet. Genealogy gets so confusing… especially when the places don’t look right! No date. **** It’s time for a Q&A, folks. Post your questions HERE!

Chicken Hunt
Every other day is turning into a chicken hunt. I could lock them up… but I don’t… so… we look here… and there. Eden digs one out from under the loading chute… Lucas bumps a couple with his nose. They’re in deep snow and don’t want to walk! Three lead the way clear up by…
