There was a fort in my backyard a few weeks ago. My kids had a great time building it and playing in it. They are quite creative at dragging things from all corners and creating something they want to play in. It doesn’t look like much from some standpoints, but they don’t care. Being a […]

Corn Harvest
I like to take pictures. I don’t always take the time for it and I can get behind in getting them off the camera and in backing them up and in all the things that do go along with pictures. Or invariably, I don’t have my camera with me when I especially want it. That […]
Wind
I have this thing about wind. *stage whisper-I do not like it very well.-* NOT VERY WELL AT ALL. I know that sometimes we need wind and it can be used for energy etc. etc. BUT I DON’T LIKE IT VERY WELL. I am all about its gentler cousin known as a breeze. A nice soft breeze. […]

Fun at the Field
It’s fun to hang out at the field when there’s a combine running. It’s fun to watch. It’s fun to take pictures. It’s fun to ride. It’s fun to race around the field. It’s fun to play in the truck. It’s just fun. And since I am so organized and efficient and everything is always […]
Saturday
I need a Saturday after every day of the week. As in…Monday, Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday, Wednesday, Saturday, and so on. It’s so nice to not have to think about schoolwork. Or laundry. Sometimes I do laundry on Saturdays, but often I don’t. It’s nice to catch up on things that need catching up on. Some […]
Courageous
I am so looking forward to seeing this movie! Praise God for the work He is doing through these film creators. It opens this weekend. I am thankful for the courageous men of God in my life. My husband. My father. My little son. To name just a few. Praise God. […]
Peace Treaty Parade
This past weekend was the 23rd Indian Peace Treaty Pageant in Medicine Lodge. We attended the pageant in 2000, when our daughter was 9 months old. They’ve held the pageant every three years, since I’m not sure when. In 2006 they decided to wait five years before doing it again, making 2011 the year. We attended the parade […]
The God of Harvest Praise
The God of harvest praise, With loud thanksgiving raise, Hand, hearts, and voice, The valleys laugh and sing, Forests and mountains ring, The plains their tribute bring, The streams rejoice. Of food for man and beast, Jehovah spreads a feast, Above, beneath: Ye herds and flocks, draw near, Fowls, ye are welcome here; His […]
Faces For a Flip Book
Do you remember or do you have one of those little books with a picture on each page and when you flip through them it looks like they are moving? My children were amused to flip through pictures of themselves on the camera and see them move. My dearie daughter had a great time posing, hence the […]
A Club
I think I’m going to start a club. Are you interested in joining? I can’t quite decide what to call this club. Maybe everyone can toss a name in the hat and we can pull one out or vote or choose the sixth one according to alphabetical order. Some ideas I have thought of are, “The […]
A Little Bit of Corn Harvest
Cutting Corn..
My Monkey
Do you like to climb? What do you like to climb? Mountains? Ladders? Windmills? Ropes on tire swings? I’m so glad I don’t have to do that.
The Frog and the Log
The Frog and the Log by my farmgirl The frog saw the log and he said, “Hi”. The log said nothing. “Hi”, said the frog. The log said nothing. “Well, say hi, thing” said the frog. Nothing said the log. “Well,” said the frog, “You don’t say hi, so bye.” And he kicked the log. […]
Poor Man’s Steak
It may be Poor Man’s Steak, but it sure is yummy. We were at a carry-in dinner a few weeks ago and Poor Man’s Steak was one of the things that ended up on my husband’s plate as we went through line. He has been hungry for more ever since, so I fixed […]
Of Snakes and Mowers
This is a tale of a mower and a snake. And a heroine that does not like snakes. I repeat, DOES NOT like snakes. This particular heroine had a yard that was in desperate need of attention and trimming. Even though it was 105-110 degrees most of the summer with very little rain. This heroine […]
