We started cutting milo the end of last week. Today my farmer man is racing against the weather. We were waiting for the moisture to go down in the grain, so we could cut. Now we’re hoping to get the most of it cut before the weather changes. We’re supposed to get rain tonight, with […]
Memoir Monday {No. 5}
A new week! Come link up your memories and everyday happenings below! Hello to this photo of my man and our baby niece who doesn’t live nearby! She’s grown so much since we saw her last! She’s such a dolly and so cuddly and roly-poly! Hello Legos! Hello to school and Playmobil and lots […]
Of Trees and Climbing and God {Five-Minute Friday}
We live in a land of wheat and sand and dirt roads and wind and cedar tree rows. Of cottonwood trees along the creek and hedge and chinese elm. The trees here are different than a lot of the trees in the east where I grew up. One thing is the same as I watch […]
Thankful Thursday 2
Take time to be holy, Speak oft with Thy Lord, Abide in Him always, And feed on His Word. Wait thou in His presence, Submissive and meek, Forgetting in nothing His blessing to seek. William Dunn Longstaff Today I’m thankful for: the beauty in so many things around me the gleaming rays of sunshine […]
Down a Dirt Road
I grew up in the country. Unless you ask my husband. He says we didn’t live in the country. There were too many houses around. Not country, Kansas style, but for the east, it was country to us. I lived along a back road. A narrow, paved road. It was home. When I got married […]
Memoir Monday {No. 4}
I am always so puzzled at how how a week can seem long and short all at the same time! My parents and my middle niece from Ohio came to visit! Plus, we celebrated our baby niece’s first birthday. Speaking of weeks seeming long and short, years do that too!! Hello to a versatile piece…placemat […]
Apple Dumplings
We used to get together with an aunt and uncle and cousins almost every fall and make apple dumplings. My mother would peel apples and my aunt would make the pastry and wrap the apples. We cousins would hoot and holler and play, and wait to devour apple dumplings. It seems like memories can be […]
Truth Reigns! {Five Minute Friday}
John 14:15-17 “If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever— the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will […]
Thankful Thursday 1.
It’s November, and Thanksgiving and Christmas will soon be here and then by slipping away into another year. I want to grow in gratitude and grace all year and yet this time of year is a good time to even more intentionally focus on it. Because, though I want to grow, and I try, I […]

Pumpkin Patch Fun With Friends
For several years, we’ve had the fun of visiting a pumpkin patch in our area. Here’s my first blog post about visiting the pumpkin patch. We often go with my cousin and her kiddos. I can’t believe how much younger they looked in 2011. A couple of years makes a difference! Renae was at a […]
Memoir Monday {No. 3}
I went back and read my very first Hello Monday post. So many things that stay somewhat the same and yet how quickly things change too. Swim lessons and kittens and birthdays and produce from my sweet mother-in-law and her productive garden. These things are a typical part of our summers, but I’m always surprised […]
November Flexi of the Month from Lilla Rose
Another month has come and gone! But celebrate the arrival of November with a gorgeous new flexi-of-the-month! This one is unique and I really, really like it. So far my favorite flexis-of-the-month have been January, March, and October’s. November’s is going to rank right up there with them, if not edge to the top of […]
Autumn Crunch Snack Mix
Snack Mix. It just makes you think yummy. When we’re on the go a lot or having family visit or it’s cold and snowy…any of these times are times when I like having a snack mix on hand. Not that it always happens, but it’s nice when it does. Quick, tasty snacks just seem homey, […]
Filling a Drill and Emptying a Drill and Filling a Drill….
If you want to drill a wheat field, you need a drill to drill it with. And you need some seed wheat to go in it. And a drill fill auger to fill it with. And then someone to run the drill fill auger. And when you get your drill full of seed wheat then […]
