Love hurts (sometimes)

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. I told my husband last evening this has been a good "intro" winter for me. It has snowed pretty much every day for the past three and a half weeks and we have had some sub-zero weather but mostly the temperatures have been between zero and thirty-two. This week will be particularly cold and we might get quite a bit of snow today. I have had plenty of opportunuities...

Where swans walk on water

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...

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...

I think he's pretty

Christmas country living faith family free knitting patterns knitting marriage photography scarf patterns yarn

Snowing, snowing, snowing. Yesterday morning it was six degrees when we got up ... sweeeet! I shot the photo of our barn from one of my bedroom windows. This photograph makes me feel as if I were flying when I took it. You know, like in one of those flying dreams. Sometimes I have flying dreams where I can just sort of fly straight up into the air and hover. This photograph is just what that would be like. The snow that began gathering about a week and a half ago is still here, and more is sifting down from...
