We were lucky to have our picnic in between showers, and an east wind that promised rain, which finally came about ten o’clock last night; just a small amount, but it did a lot of good; there is more moisture down about six inches than this area has seen in so many years, we can’t remember when, but it was starting to dry on top with the heavy ( Read more... )

Tomorrow will be a few hours at the cabin for a picnic. S has a friend visiting from Finland whom I have never met. She was an exchange student a few years ago, was in NYC on business and took some days to come and visit S and her husband. I am looking forward to meeting her.

Before all of that, I need to go to the cemetery and leave flowers. I ( Read more... )

A few hours at the cabin can refresh my soul. Yesterday was no different; just being there lends to a feeling that life is good, and wonderful.

The person who was with me yesterday is one of my neighbors; my young friend is doing some work and remodeling in her home and has her weekends filled with doing moving things, and M is a good companion. She ( Read more... )

Hooray, hooray! Today we are going to the cabin. I have not been there for over a month

and it has stood through three rather hard blizzards in April. A week or so ago, friends hunted turkeys, both connecting with good toms, and I asked them to bring my game camera in as it had been there through all of the storms. There were thirteen hundred ninety ( Read more... )

The good days are returning, or at least the semblance of them; yesterday, and today, I have accomplished some (very slow) tasks around the house. My best part of the day was this morning when out of a cloudy sky came a most wonderful display for goose down feathers for nearly an hour. I love watching it snow like that; and of course it was gone ( Read more... )

Coping with the aging process is something I had not carely considered when I was young and vital, capable, full of promise to myselfe and to others, actually, I was pretty “full of myselfe” when I was young. I had a father who loved me beyond himself, I was not spoiled, but I knew I was special; he gave to me more love than one person probably ( Read more... )

This post came to mind when I read one of my friend’s posts recently. And for what is “quite some time” and far longer than it should have been, I have tried very hard to keep a friend who is at a distance, told me when we first met she was not a person who kept in touch, though she declared it was our kindred spirit friendship and love at first ( Read more... )

Tonight I just happened to click on the video on her journal, and it made my night for happiness; I know you will love it, so hurry before it goes away...it is one of those wonderful feel good videos. And you can thank her; she is one of my friends and a good one.

This has to be an apology for the previous entry; it has been pointed out to me that I am completely wrong about the "intrinsically disorder” that the statement was right and I had taken it wrong., so I do apologize and it has been deleted.  Undoubtedly isn’t the first time I have misunderstood, though it is not easy to admit one is wrong, my ( Read more... )

April is here, and with it the third blizzard in three weeks. After several really nice winters we now have the old fashioned storms of yesteryear. I can sit snugly in my warm house and not have to worry about the cattle calving, or bundle up and go to the barn at 2:00AM to check on heifers. That being said, I still think of the ranchers who are ( Read more... )
