A Day in the Life…
- How do you see the StarsEver since I was a young girl, I have always found peace in my soul by taking a moment each night or early morning to look up at the dark sky, find a star, and make a wish. To this day, I still do this ritual. There is something magical about the vastness of the night sky that captivates me. It reminds me of the infinite possibilities that exist in …
- Jay and ChuckThe Blue Jay and I were sitting around the farm having the longest conversation the other day about how we believe Chuck the Squirrel is a hoarder. We couldn’t help but notice Chuck’s constant obsession with collecting and hiding acorns in every nook and cranny.

- Cant wait to Can, Can IYou know that phrase—better late than never.  That has certainly rung true this late summer around here. One day I woke up and realized I had better get my act together as the days were becoming shorter and the air a bit crisper. Fall slowly started to creep in. When I realized that I was behind in getting my canning done, I did panic for a bit; I literally froze …
- Fresh Cut HayGoing outside is my daily routine that adds health and continued wellness to my daily life.

- Thanksgiving survival guideThe holidays are almost officially here. I mean, just yesterday I picked fresh herbs from the garden and finished up gathering seeds for next year’s garden. I’m always saying time has wings, and this year I have proof, as I am now making my shopping list for Thanksgiving and starting to gather my thoughts for Christmas. Thanksgiving was originally planned as a no-one cooks, lets go out to eat celebration, …
- These Long Dogs Days of SummerI finally figured out what the saying “dogs days of summer” means. It means the dogs are living like royalty! They have a 24/7 fresh water baby pool, nice mowed lawn to lay on, a splash pad on demand, shade from the trees to keep them cool, butterflies and grasshoppers to chase, an air conditioned house for tv time, and extra food at dinner because of all the activity. So …

They had a to do list to do with the horses, it was going to be one of those wonderfully long days filled with outside chores , good food, laughter and complete exhaustion at the end of the day. Because I always have a to-do list that needs some TLC every now …
