In the garden, Autumn is, indeed the crowning glory of the year, bringing us the fruition of months of thought and care and toil. And at no season, safe perhaps in Daffodil time, do we get such superb colour effects as from August to November. Rose G. Kingsley Fall is the best time of… Continue reading A Poem About Fall
I love Christmas time- I have a desire to bake, cook, clean, decorate, and wrap gifts tied up with lots of ribbon that sparkles that I am just unable to suppress. I do get some help from the kids, but mostly its just me and I love it. Tony enjoys my creations, especially those emerging… Continue reading Simple Beauty- Christmas Decorating on the Farm
I have seen several of these "five things Friday" posts and they are usually along the lines of things that inspire you or photographs. Well, my five things are of a different vain. I have decided to do Five Things That Chap My Hide. So here we go, we will be counting them down from… Continue reading Five Things Friday
As I was standing in line at the grocery store the other day, Time magazine caught my eye. An attractive woman was on the cover with the line "Don't hate her because she is successful" and under it was her name and claim that she had "a mission to reboot Feminism" I guess being the… Continue reading The Most Powerful Woman In America
I wish every person could have a mom like mine. She is always willing to help and even when we disagree, it is usually because we both want what is best for me but just have different ideas as to what that is. Today mom came by with pizza and then began to clean. If… Continue reading Working, Working- Thanks, Mom!
My daily posts have been delayed since my Thursday post because me and my little nest have been celebrating our Christmas together. You may find this odd, but then my family is odd in a sense (or more than one sense) but it is odd in a good way. For long before I entered this… Continue reading A Merry Christmas – What A Great Weekend
All through my teen years and all through these years of raising my children, there has been so much derogatory talk about teenagers.

Having teenagers is not a bad thing. … Continue reading Teenagers….
What better way to spend a snowy day than curled up with you dad napping. I don't guess you ever get too old. I hope not. Cheyenne is 17 and Savannah is 15. There aren't that many years left with these two at home. Good thing there are two more behind them.
My great grandmother, Mamaw, always said that if the snowed stayed on the ground for 3 days it would come again. Well, she was right again. We had snow about 2 weeks ago that stayed for more than 3 days. You might say that it wore it's welcome out! Last night we got about 8… Continue reading Mamaw was right!
My niece, Katie, is 6 years old. This past week the "Basketball Skills Team" that she is a member of got to perform at the Varsity Girls basketball game. My bunch got to go and it was so much fun.
