October Flexi!! I really, really like this one! It has a very pretty flair, yet it’s simple. The tones are warm and inviting. It’s classic and very versatile! Love!!! Somehow it captures fall very well, yet you could wear it in any season. What do you think of it? It’s always interesting to […]
And Then We… {hello monday}
And it was a new week and we said “Hello new week!” And the week began. And away it ran. And we cut corn….And then we got done cutting our corn and the farmer and his son began to help cut the corn on the circles we check… And then the farmer’s wife found […]
Refrigerator Mashed Potato Casserole
We’ve been having lots of potatoes out of the garden and I’ve made a couple recipes of this mashed potato casserole and put in the freezer. So, this is a good time to post this recipe to my growing record of my favorites here on my blog! This recipe is a good way to use […]
True {Five Minute Friday}
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

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 […]

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 […]

We say “Hello new week!” Hello! Hello! Hello! We have a giveaway going on and we’ve been thinking about laughter and how much a kitchen means! Cooper says, “Hey”! We mow grass. See the buildings. See the cows. Hello big GREEN tomato. Please ripen. Hello RED tomatoes. Thank-you sis-in-law!! We can tomato juice. See Tucker read. […]
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!
