Although I liked this pic, she didn’t make the cut into the 2017 Red Dirt calendar… (and, no, she’s not ours) <click on the box below to complete a jigsaw puzzle of the above image> Cold Longhorn
Wreath
Spent most of the day creating the Friends of the Library wreath for our local Festival of Trees this weekend. It was cold and WINDY outside, so I was perfectly content to hang out, decorate, and keep an eye on Miss Phryne Fisher… that’s Miss Fisher’s Murder Mysteries on Netflix. Victoria told me about this…
Survivors
Yeah… a little romantic prose and then… the stomach flu hits us and we all feel just… peachy. I’m finally back to normal tonight, but behind in everything. Another photo to pass the time… We are survivors around here! A nice whitetail buck wouldn’t pose for me… he’s safe for this year. This is about…
Peering
Every time I turn around, I swear I find another dirty dish, another mislaid toy. They echo of family, and life, and the Grace of God. I hope you enjoyed your holiday weekend. The guys are moving hay around, preparing for the day when the cows will have to be fed. I cleaned my house…

Mud and Snow
Well, it started to melt off today… but another storm is due tomorrow. We’re at that lovely stage that starts a day frozen, icy, and cold, but by midday is a slimy, muddy, bog. At least I have a huge “mud room” so that four cold, wet, happy, screaming grandkids can all come in and…
Ag-Thankful
One of the things that has happened to me while writing this little blog, is the internet friendships I’ve forged. First of all, there are you guys, my faithful readers, who comment and encourage, or are quiet but helpful in your own way… 😉 There are people like Kari in Montana… who wrote the funniest…
Calendar and a Contest!
It’s currently 18˚ with six or so inches of snow on the ground… and, I stayed inside all day! A bit of housework, but for the most part, I let my calendar rule my day. It’s finished. It’s ready for order. I hope you like it! I’m sure you would like to preview it… and…
