Memoir Monday {No. 89}
I bought three small mums at Wal-Mart and plunked them in the ground by my backdoor. I absolutely love the splendor of autumn colors and fall vignettes. We have a local greenhouse that always has hay bales and pumpkins and mums and gourds and cornstalks set up in a glorious display. So beautiful. I put […]
Memoir Monday {No. 88}
An end-of-summer/beginning-of-fall look. We late-planted some gourds and pumpkins and they are growing. Tucker picked a few beginners for me. The flowers look a bit bedraggled from the heat and the croquet balls speak of summer days and the gourds hint of autumn. Matthew & I spent a day out with friends. I took a few […]
Memoir Monday {No. 87}
I think That Kitty is glad to be home from Ohio. He just showed up everywhere. Gray, dampy mornings. Turkeys continue to show up. Thinking about the word amenable. This trait was discussed by Mary and Nancy in the True Woman 201 session I watched this week. It means in simple terms to have […]
A Good Dog and Expectations
“Cooper, when I tell you you’re a good dog, I expect you to act like one.” Cooper was barking loudly, and wildly chasing our mama cat. First, under the trampoline. Next, across the yard, and finally, Kitty scrambled smartly up a tree. I’d walked up just in time to hear the words come out of […]
Corned Beef Cheeseball
Cheeseball. It’s just a yummy snack. It intrigues me how cream cheese can be so tasty as a salty type snack and so delicious in a sweet recipe. It’s all about what you add to it! We tend to fix cheeseball around the holidays, it seems. But, I also fix it some in the summer […]
Ten Things I Love About Living In the Country
Posting a list for Ten on Tuesday again! The subject was 10 things you love about visiting the country. I tweaked it to 10 Things I love about living in the country, since we live here, and are just here and don’t really have to visit. Therefore off the top of my head….. And since […]
Summertime Yellowy Lemon Wreath
One of my friends’ daughters posted a picture of her beautiful lemon wreath on Instagram. I loved its bright cheerfulness. Soon after, I was moving the flowerpots around on my porch and simultaneously watering them and moving them some more. I’ve rearranged the porch a few times this summer. In part, because of wind […]
We Disk Ground
When harvest is over and combines put away and days rolling on by, it’s time to bring out the tractor and the disk and start in working acres to prepare the soil and the fields to plant again. To work the dirt and kill the weeds and cut through the stubble. Everything has it’s […]
Memoir Monday {No. 81}
Beautiful blooms! Brought to my door by a small neighbor girl with tiny blonde braids and a shy grin. I’ve been enjoying them and enjoying them. A gal I follow on Instagram posted a lovely picture of pretty blooms and buds in glass bottles and holders on her windowsill and she said, “Should you ever […]
Bemusement and a Date Night
Back in the ending of May or the beginning of June, I jotted my thoughts and closed my notebook and promptly forgot as I’m apt to do and as that is a busy season for us, I gladly grab that excuse. Recently, I reach for my notebook and randomly open it and read my words. […]
Outside and On the Porch
I’m hoping to eventually have some plants along the south and back of our porch. I picked up a few at Wal-Mart right at the beginning of harvest. They were clearancing everything out, so I decided to snag a few and stick them in. I’m trying a couple of hydrangeas. Not sure how they’re going […]

First things first. Cooper is happy to announce two giveaways that you should pop in and enter. This one over at Sew a Fine Seam ~ She is celebrating her third anniversary for Sew a Fine Seam as a business and is giving away the winner’s choice of a HOME t-shirt and also giving […]
The Wheat Is Cut
Every stalk has been cut. Well, practically. There’s always a few that get missed or run close along the edge of the field, left to wave in the wind until the disk starts in. Every bushel has been hauled. Kernels so small when by themselves or in groups of two or three or twelve. […]
Yarn Along…Dishcloths and the Penderwicks
Linking up with Ginny.…. WELL!! I surprised myself. Yarn Along has inspired me to pick up those knitting needles! It helped to get my knitting out again and then I see it and pick it up and work on it here and there or if I get a phone call or have a few […]
Memoir Monday {No. 77}
Renae had this Cameo Appearance flexi in at the beginning of last week and I loved how it looked with her braid and her shirt. Harvest kept on rolling. Peterbilt kept rolling. For the most part. Combine breakdown at the end of the week. We encountered way too many ticks one night at the field. […]
