Memoir Monday {No. 29}
I guess our truck wasn’t ready to start a new week last week and just wanted to take a break! It blew a tire and so it got to take a break whether it was wanting to or not! Our week started with a bang. ~literally~ The combine had a bearing go out. Throw in […]
The Exhale of the Waiting {Five Minute Friday}
The sound of the creek running and gurgling filters in the open window. Much of the time it is just a dry and empty creek bed, but today, swollen from the recent rains we’ve had, it makes music that we aren’t used to hearing and it is lovely. The mower rumbles and the smell of […]
The Interpreter Inside Each One Of Us
I’ve been thinking off and on about interpretation. We all do a lot of interpreting. We do it and aren’t even aware that we are. We read something and we interpret what we perceive the author is saying. We watch a movie and we take away something, whether we watch it just for fun or […]
The White T-shirt Team Pounds and Places Hammock Posts
Earlier this year, in the spring, back before it started raining and before harvest time was here and before I was sick, back when we were thinking about boxwoods and trees and stuff like that, two out of the four from the “we”, did some digging and working and put in poles for a hammock. I […]
Memoir Monday {No. 28}
I spy, in a field nearby, a combine that used to be owned by my guy! I’ll snap a picture as we drive by. Lovely vignette! My favorite kind. Pretty and homey and part of life all rolled into one. Snack mixes are so handy to have around during harvest. One recipe over here […]

Memoir Monday {No. 27}
Hello to looking back at a week full of variety and busy! No surprise, since it is June and harvest and every year June and harvest bring busy! Every year is different in its own way, yet some things are the same too. The cycles and routines and rhythms of life and what we do. […]
Keeping On In Keeping On {Harvest}
Be Strong in Grace II Timothy 2: 1-7 You, therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, commit to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. Share in suffering as a good […]
Wherein We Start Cutting Wheat and Think About History
My husband started farming eighteen years ago. He cut his first milo crop in the fall of 1996, married me in May of 1997, and cut his first wheat crop in June of 1997. {I can’t say for sure which of the three events he enjoyed the most, but I’m leaning strongly towards wheat harvest.} […]

Birthdays to Celebrate!
Since Renae and Tucker’s birthdays come very quickly after Christmas and since Ohio and Kansas aren’t next door neighbors, our Ohio grandparents have only been here for their birthdays a couple of times. Grandma hadn’t given them their birthday gifts yet, so when they and Emma were out, we decided to have an impromptu birthday […]
Memoir Monday {No. 26}
I have to say again, this whole back pain and sciatica thing has been one of the strangest things I’ve ever had. And one I would not wish on anyone! We are grateful, grateful, grateful that I am improving, though it is a slow process. I have my moments of impatience and wanting to just-be-better. […]
Memoir Monday {No. 25}
The last few weeks have definitely had their ups and downs and upside downs and completely-out-of-what-we-consider normal routine. That’s the way life works. Bumps and boulders. Detours and derails. Circumstances and changes. And when the chief cook and bottlewasher and homemaker is under the weather, well, everything is a bit topsy-turvy. My family stepped up […]
