Dog Fun!
The girls really enjoy climbing up in the hay with Brian. To get up there in this picture she had to scale a wall 4 or 5 bales high and then army crawl across the top. Brian’s holding her so she doesn’t jump down to me. June can jump from the floor and easily land […]
Garden Update
Yeah… about that mess of weeds I call a garden… These are volunteer tomatoes growing in with some weeds where I never planted anything this year. You can’t tell but they’re laying on the ground. I get one or two decent sized cucumbers off my two plants every day. That is, of course, unless the […]
Cowboy Blueberry Pie
I made this one with some of my home canned blueberry pie filling. A neighbor invited me down for tea this morning so I took it with me. It was delicious! I think I’ll tweak the cookie cutter a little bit next time so it looks more like a boot. I’ve tried to make good […]

Breakfast at the Farm

I added an extra leaf (leave?) to the table an everything! Funny thing about those flowers… I picked […]
Housekeeping Trouble Spots
Our house is gradually looking better for longer periods of time since I’ve settled in to a cleaning routine. I still rarely make it through the week without missing at least one scheduled day of cleaning but things still look pretty good. However, I have noticed there are a few areas of our home that […]

Sunday Stroll: Hay
Head over to Quiet Country House to see who else is strolling today.
Oprah’s Debt Diet: I’m Not Impressed
Yesterday happened to be my short day at work and I made a point to be home in time for Oprah’s Debt Diet (Part 4, I think). I generally like Oprah and was curious to see what her plan was all about. She has the ability to influence a great number of people so I […]
