this weather sucks

Glory, glory to this early spring day! Although I woke from a very restless sleep, my body groaning under the weight of its 40 years: hips and hamstrings, neck and knees, the outside world renews me. I’m so glad my 3-year-old wanted to dress and head directly outside, despite my opposition. The birds are so… Read more

Our baby girl loves it outside. No matter the mercury reading, she hasn’t learned to complain about the heat yet. We haven’t cut her hair to look like a mohawk on it’s way to growing out, it’s just the way her hair, well is growing out. Possibly one of the reasons she’s mistaken for… Read more

My vegetable patch is green, luscious, fruitful, and multiplying. I mean, the garden in my dreams. Of course. It’s difficult at best to grow a garden, or anything green, in a drought. We’ve morphed into a barren desert land. The horses search for anything green and tender, including the bottommost leaves of the trees, leaving all our… Read more

Tonight I was Master of the Remote Control— a title I don’t especially covet. I don’t like Television for many reasons that I won’t go into, but tonight for an unknown reason, I decided to turn on the T.V. I started with The Singing Bee which made my heart happy. I am a World-Class-Lyric-Maker-Upper, so… Read more

The Wind by Robert Louis Stevenson I saw you toss the kites on high And blow the birds about the sky; And all around I heard you pass, Like ladies’ skirts across the grass– O wind, a-blowing all day long, O wind, that sings so loud a song! I saw the different things you did,… Read more

A couple days ago, my husband shoveled us out of the snow. It was just in the nick of time too. I believe with my all of my being that he was on the verge of having a full on attack of deliriousness as a side effect of the cabin fever he’d developed after being cooped in the house. It’s like we were living in The Shining. We… Read more

My little town got 8.5 inches of snow Tuesday night, and they cancelled school. And as an added bonus, we don’t have to start school until 10:00 this morning. Yippee Skippee!! Snow days don’t come around often, and I try to enjoy them. I spend my day in lazy gear, reading, writing, facebooking, napping. My husband on the… Read more

Put on your snowboots with your sexiest bathrobe. Make a fashion statement. Take an empty bowl and a scooper of some sort, high step through the snow drifts and brave the bitter winds to gather up clean snow. I find it necessary to scrape off the first layer, as you might find some specks from… Read more

The weather today is no joke. I went with J-dub to go feed a little. We came upon a herd of yearlings huddled around a water tank attempting to drink from the frozen tank. J-dub grabbed an ax and began chopping ice. I got out to snap a couple of pics and before I knew… Read more

I have to go back to work tomorrow. I’ve had a four day weekend, thanks to this snowstorm, which resulted in a four pound weight gain, thanks to this sweet tooth. A pound a day, but who’s counting. I’ve stayed cooped up to the point of stir craziness. You know the movie Hope Floats? You know the… Read more
