A picture update from the ranch!      The new barn….well, it will be as soon as we put it up!      The Super Deluxe, exceptionally well made, designed by the egg masters Cole & Eathon ( with just a *tad* bit of help from their Dad) and put together mostly by themselves. Soon… Read More

Cleaning… Today we spent several hours cleaning one room of ‘Summer piles’. The ones that I tell the boys, “just pop that over on that table, I will get to that later.”  Well, today we started in on those piles. Homeschooling starts for real in just two weeks so I have that time to de-clutter,… Read More

Bless the food before us, the family beside us, and the love between us. Amen.

Who becomes contemplative on Thanksgiving? Seems this whole week has found me thinking about all sorts of random events and ideas. Who is your family, your community? What traditions do you hold dear, how do you hygge and the time and effort put into all of them. Realizing that time is finite, you only have so many minutes… Read More

It is late, and I was *suppose* to be in bed at least an hour ago.  Alas, my brain storms during these quiet evenings. The Shepherd will hopefully be home soon and I will be happy to go snuggle and fall asleep. He took a second job a month after the USDA pulled out of… Read More
