People want true. People desire true. True happiness. Someone they can trust. True fulfillment. Peace and freedom. People search for true. We get tricked into believing false is true and more is happiness and our desires attained is fulfillment. “True” can become obscure, hidden by all the brush and bramble that’s blown our way. People […]

Of Cutting Corn and Corn Spills
What would harvest be, but boring, without a grain spill or two?!! My farmer husband man and I were talking and we don’t think we’ve had a year of cutting on our circle that we haven’t had a grain spill. 🙂 Keeps life interesting and makes some good photo opps! Yep,yep, yep! Here’s our milo spill last […]
Adding to my Hello Monday Journal Journey {hello monday}
Hello to the last week in September! Our weather started out last week with a foggy, gray, dampish Monday. It progressed into some hot weather and ended the week with perfect weather. Seventies, cool air, not windy, sunny, just absolutely gorgeous. CAN NOT BE BEAT. As always the week winged by. One of the older […]
Chocolate Frosty Homemade Ice Cream
Mmmmmmmmmmm, there’s something about a bowlful of soft, homemade ice cream! When we were first married my young husband enjoyed cranking a freezer full of ice cream and we usually made ice cream several times in the summer. Seems like we don’t make it as often now. I think it’s not as enjoyable or relaxing […]
She {Five Minute Friday}
She tells me about the book she’s reading and her eyes sparkle and she laughs at one of the funny antics of the character. She tells me about the kinship she formed with Pat when she read that Pat always hated her new clothes fiercely for a few weeks and then turned around and loved […]
Apparently Food Photos Were Attracting My Attention This Week {hello monday}
When I sat down and started looking through my pictures and choosing what ones I wanted for today’s post, the majority were falling in the food category. I guess that’s just what I was snapping pics of last week! But I do like food photos and I do like random photos of things that catch […]
Zucchini Pie

Mercy {Five Minute Friday}
I’m joining Lisa-Jo Baker for Five Minute Friday… Undeservedness. Unselfishness. Kindness and compassion. Mercy causes these words to pop into my head. All qualities that I want invading and pervading my life and touching others from inside of me. All things that I feel like I fail in time and time again. And again. And […]
Lego Pirate Ship
This was Tucker’s building project the week before last. He worked on it here and there most of the week. He really enjoys building and designing Lego creations. He builds something and keeps it for a while and then when inspiration strikes, he starts his next creation. He always enjoys showing his projects to us […]

Laugh More
It hit me this morning. It’s so easy to fall into routine and life and to-do lists. Life has bumps and frustrations and stresses. Even if some of them we bring on ourselves unnecessarily. Even if some of them are put upon us and we have no choice in them. Sometimes life doesn’t feel fun […]
It’s an Orkin Home Education Kit & Flashlight Giveaway!

Colorado: Monarch Pass
After a good night’s sleep, we got up for our last couple destinations in Colorado before we headed back east towards home. And flat land!! We’re more used to heading west when we’ve been away and are heading home. We ate breakfast with Matthew’s cousin and family. It was fun to visit with them a […]
The Kitchen {Heart of the Home}
A kitchen brings life to a house. A kitchen can be the heart of the home. I was struck by this thought and revelation a little while back and how it played out in our house. Here’s the longish back story: When we moved into our new-to-us house, it came equipped with a basement kitchen, […]
