Building A Future
Can You Leave It?
Are you more entranced with your life and all the good things in it or the Master of the Banquet? How often is it that we are far more concerned with the gifts rather than the Gifter? A farm that we patiently waited to call our own, the animals that we breed and birth and … Continue reading
Kai, Aksel and Ruby
So lambing hell week had a major offset. We had Kai, our oldest grandboy, Aksel, his brother, and Ruby, their sweet baby cousin girl, out over that weekend (this very last weekend hardly qualified as a weekend, Dirt worked for the school for both days, last Monday being a holiday on top of that, and … Continue reading
I Would Rather
I’ve been thinking a thought lately and I wanted to get it to sound right before I wrote about it, but I can’t seem to find a better way to word the thought so… I would rather do the will of God and have it “appear” to be a bust, to have not been a … Continue reading
Retro Part Two
My offering on Wednesday for the Header Challenge, “Retro”, was some very retro materials. Some pulled from my own fabric stores and two quilts made sometime before nineteen-fifty. And now for the post to go with the header…. Retro. Looking back. A look back to look forward. Fabric and a certain application, quilting, is on … Continue reading
Betwixt and Between
This week’s Header Challenge theme was selected by Stewart, aka IMac. He said it was because we were betwixt and between Christmas and New Year. This was going to be a hard one for me, I get the in between the holidays thing, but really, our Christmas here at the Farm doesn’t end till January … Continue reading
Strings Attached
and Ready for the Envelopes. We didn’t send out invitations. Anna and Justin’s wedding will be so small and intimate that printed invitations were barely necessary. We joyfully asked those very close to us if they could please join us on that day. And instead we are sending out little booklets to those who could join us. And they have … Continue reading
Well Heck
I’m totally humbled. I had no thought of winning this week. I really just had an idea of a picture and a post, and knowing that I’m havin’ a hard time posting except for the header challenge change over, I just put up my favorite picture of Dirt and Anna with our changing foliage behind … Continue reading
Change
Seasons change. One moment we are hanging out in a season enjoying the elements and dynamics, and then quickly we are in the next. We have no control over the changing of the seasons, they come whether we are ready for them or not. Seasons usually go by the calendar, we can expect the change. … Continue reading
Fantastic Weekend With Framily
A great time was had by all, so much so that most folks that were hangin’ round Sunday morning willingly participated in this week’s header challenge for me. Or I should say, Lanny’s subversion of said challenge. So here we are havin’ a Sunday morning post-breakfast reflection on our favorite animal. “Animal reflections”. On my … Continue reading
Hey, I Can Do This, Not a Problem
Well, it is five weeks and five days ’til Dirt loses his Anna and she becomes another man’s girl. So if I seem a wee bit more sporadic than usual or I start babbling endlessly and you’ve gotta slap me, you’ll know I haven’t gone whack-a-do, just, uh.. okay, whack-a-do. The dresses are all secured and … Continue reading
