I’ve wanted, for most of my life, to make a scarecrow. So, at the ripe old age of 32 I finally realized my dream. Upon completion we sat together on the porch for awhile and when I finally decided to go inside I caught a glimpse of my recent creation out of the corner of…
Stress makes me ill therefore Wednesday October the 29th I was fairly feeble with the strength of a over-cooked noodle. It made me really mad too because this was the absolute most beautiful day of the year. Mid 60’s, partly cloudy, slight breeze, trees beginning to change colors and I couldn’t make it out of…
Love is found in many forms and fashions. There have been numerous tomes penned on the subject of love by people much smarter than I could ever hope to be. The poems, songs and movies dedicated to this complicated emotion are endless. For me, love is simple and love is pictured here. My Two Great…
Elk Camp was very unique this year. Every year is special in its own way but this was one for the books, I think there may be a poorly rated, low-budget Lifetime movie in the works someday soon but until then I’ll just give you the pleasant high-lights and leave the rest for your imagination. …
I haven’t had much time to write this week, no time actually. But I did manage a thought. I find it very funny that when people find out you homeschool, their initial reaction is always (at least in my experience) something along the lines of “How is she going to make friends!?”, “Aren’t you worried…
Wednesday October 23rd was spent in the South San Juan Wilderness in southern Colorado. Between the morning and evening elk hunt I managed to squeeze in time for a quick jaunt about the countryside. Here is what I saw. It was really quite challenging to ‘walk’ in a new place, my eyes had to be…
I’ll not bother writing about why we ‘pulled the plug’ on cable over 5 years ago. There have been PLENTY of talk shows, radio shows, books and blogs on that very subject. And we all know the basic message. I’ll just say that while it took me a few months to convince my husband we…
Good domestic help is so hard to find. So I just decided to give birth to mine and train them right, from the start. Just kidding! Sort of. While Addie’s only real ‘chore’ is to clean her room, and that she does amid protests of epic proportions, tossing around excuses such as “my eye hurts”,…
Have you ever noticed how some days are just good cloud days? Like God was tired of all clear blue skies and wanted some cotton candy tossed in? Today was one of those days. Morning, noon and night the clouds were a sight to behold. I could have sat at the edge of this field…
Seeing how this Wicked Chicken is freezing her feathers off amid the wilds of South San Juan, I can’t share my walk from last week, October the 15th. You will be seeing that walk as a bonus in the near future. So for today I thought it would be fun to share some of my…
