My Valentine's Day was beautiful, how about yours? One year ago, on Valentine's evening, I sat in a Thai restaurant in Los Angeles having dinner with my sister. I told her about this guy in New York who had emailed me. He was interesting, we had all kinds of things in common ... and he lived on a farm but wasn't a farmer. I told her it was too bad he lived in upstate western New York, because there was no way in the world I would ever even consider moving to New York ... for anything, period. And here...

Thank you to all the readers who have checked out the new I Live on a Farm website. Today I posted some free Valentine eCards there ... in case you would like to take a look or send one. We continue to enjoy a cold and snowy winter here. Each day more snow falls, if even for only an hour or so. I am more relaxed now when I go out in temperatures below 10 degrees ... I still feel the cold, but it doesn't make me tense up the way it did at first. I have had to, on...

New! Be sure to check out my new I Live on a Farm website! Zero degrees. Not complaining, just sayin' ... it's zero degrees. And this is a relatively warm winter.

This week will be particularly cold and we might get quite a bit of snow today. I have had plenty of opportunuities...

I left you hanging on a cliff this past Monday in the story of the day, the moment really, when my husband and I first met face-to-face. It was my intention to write the next installment today, but the past couple of days I have been building a new website for my blog and expanded content. I'm tired, plum pooped and tired. Doing this much computer work for hours on end is hard on the back. Will you please forgive me if I postpone the rest of that story until Monday when I am rested and not so pressed for...
When strangers lend a hand

Today is not a particularly special, momentus day for most of the world. We do have a beautiful, fresh layer of snow from a few hours of snowfall last evening. The cedar trees I see out my window have puff balls of snow covering them; little birds will come by and knock them all down as the day goes by in what will look like private little snowball fights with the snow covered ground below. But for me, today is a particularly fine and special day. The snow, the birds engaged in snowball fights, the woosh of cars driving past...
