  • From My View of the Heart Pasture

    Your time is valuable so thank you for spending it with me. As promised I will share 3 things:  an idiom, a recommendation, and an under 2 minute tale. “Something to crow about” means you’ve got exciting news to share. It comes from a loud rooster in the morning announcing the day or any old… →

  • The Eleventh Hour: Tick Tock for TikTok

    It is the Eleventh Hour. Time is running out. “Tick Tock,” goes the clock for TikTok. I am here not to defend nor condemn this wildly popular app. If what we are hearing and reading in the news, in a very short amount of time all of Americans who have the app on their devices… →

  • More Than Just Stuff

    I never imagined that I’d be so grateful to have the temperature outside rise to 35 degrees, and have clean running water inside a house full of memorable things I cherish. But this is what I am feeling. Today. Over the last four days, I have run the gamut of thoughts and feelings. What was… →

  • A Solar Eclipse and A Special Dog

    We are just a couple weeks away from something amazing taking place. I am not just referring to the Erma Bombeck Writers’ Workshop that I am attending in Dayton, Ohio. That will indeed be amazing and only comes along every two years. Far more rare is the Solar Eclipse that will be on Monday, April… →

  • Love is in the Air

    (4 minute read) Happy Valentine’s Day! I interrupt your day running errands (buying cards, candy or flowers) with a little update. Love is in the air! Not sure how that happened so quickly because I just put away all of our Christmas decorations the other day. Do I even bring out the Valentines wreath and… →

  • The Truth: Good Stuff , Bad Stuff, and Important Stuff

    10 minute read) Who wants to hear complaining? Worse yet, who wants to hear whining? Nobody. So why would I leave my last blog post with a teaser of “tune in to the next post to read about the not-so-rosy picture of coming home?” Why? The truth is that I felt a tinge of guilt… →

  • The Month I Traded the Farm for the Lake

    (10 minute read) Home sweet home, or as Dorothy says, “There’s no place like home.” Or in my case, “Farm sweet farm.” Anyone who knows me well knows that I am a homebody. My favorite days are when my car does not leave the driveway. It was true when I lived in a city suburb… →

  • Do you get Cancel Pleasure?

    (5 minute read) I am usually one for “cancel pleasure.” Not today. Right now I should be up in the sky above Virginia en route to the west coast. Instead, I am sitting with my coffee and dogs at home on my sofa. Usually, I am one of those odd home bodies that like when… →

  • New Kids on The Block (or in our case The Farm)

    (15 minute read) Our herd and our hearts just grew larger. A few days ago we brought home four Nigerian Dwarf goats. Before I begin to tell the story of their homecoming, I must first admit that I am already smitten with these tiny kids. If I thought our chickens were friendly, I had no… →

  • “Green Acres is the Place to Be, Farm Livin’ is the Life For Me” (for Us)

    (20 minute read…relax it’s country time)    I look out in the pasture and I can see the large red clay dirt mound where Smoke was buried last summer. Nearby is the spot where a few weeks before we laid to rest one of our chickens that died in the night. How did I get… →
