Our week was a blend of busy and hectic and feeling the push and pull of things that needed done all at once. Life has its times like that and June often is that way around here! This week may be a lot the same. The wheat is ready to cut and there were combines […]

Summertime Activity Fun
Summertime! I look forward to it. It means sunshine and long days and a break from school. It also means 100 degrees and above, on many days. Which means I am so, so thankful for air conditioning. It is busy and lazy all mixed together in a colorful blend. Summertime brings wheat harvest time upon […]

Banana Bread
We had overripe bananas lurking around our kitchen this week. So, I whipped out a trusty and easy recipe we’ve used for quite a while now. Good ole banana bread. My daughter stirred it up one day after lunch, while I worked on the dirty dishes. It is truly easy-peasy! I don’t like banana bread, […]
My Girl
My girl. The one God gave to us. Thirteen years ago. So little and brand new. So cute and sweet and kissable. Emotions and memories that will stay in my heart forever. My girl. After close to twenty-four hours, we finally got to meet you. I couldn’t wait to hold you. So very close to […]
A Habit Around Here
We have a habit that developed quite a few years ago. We aren’t always exactly perfect in it, but we’ve done it long enough that it is, well, a habit. When we arrive home from town or an outing, I try to clean everything out of the Suburban that isn’t supposed to stay in our vehicle and carry […]

The Fabulous Foliage of Fall
God’s autumn decor in nature is absolutely breathtaking. I snapped a few pictures of some of the pretty colors in my neighborhood. The thing is, my photos don’t begin to do justice to the vibrancy of the colors. We certainly don’t have the display and variety of colors that the eastern states do, but I […]
Doing Some Dry and Dusty Drilling
Psalm 126:5-6 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. KJV And now, God, do it again—bring rains to our drought-stricken lives. So those who planted their crops in despair will shout hurrahs at the […]
There’s More Than One Way To Get A Workout
I picked up my phone to look at the picture message it had just received. The picture was of our end dump trailer. And a largish pile of milo on the ground behind it. The message? Well, it read, “Anyone want to come help me?” The sender? My farmer man. I showed the picture to my […]
Hello Happenings!
I’m amazed at how long ago the beginning of a week can seem. When I flipped through to see what pictures I had taken this past week, I thought, “We did that just the beginning of the week?” It seemed like it was much longer ago! Hello to painting fun and art class and creating […]
Hello Monday:Peaches, Cows, Water, Cupboards, Milo
It’s Hello Monday! Linking up with Lisa! Hello to my brother-in-law’s cows! They finally found the corn shucks from the sweet corn. Hello cows, I enjoy seeing you wander through-and thank-you for staying in the pasture where you belong, so far! I’m sure the fact that we have no nice landscaping or yard keeps the fence working […]
In Which We Free The Bunnies and Are Invaded By Raccoons
After caring diligently for the baby bunnies, my daughter decided it was time to free them. They hip-hopped happily into the grass and disappeared very quickly. We freed them a good distance from our house, so hopefully they would stay out of reach of our cats. They were very cute little things, but I think they are […]
Kitchen Appliances
Right before harvest really officially gets under way for us, I am browsing the classifieds on Nextech. I have jumped onto their site a few times to check out the appliances that other people no longer need or want, and have listed for sale. I haven’t been especially diligent about checking and haven’t seen anything I am very interested in […]
