Halfway through April!!! We are so anxious to get out in the yard and work! Except today that would mean shoveling snow. We emptied the back gardens last fall and I know there is beautiful black dirt under that snow just waiting to be filled with flowers and shrubs and gorgeous color. We'll stay in, watch the snow melt slowly and dream for a while longer. And check out your awesome links. Thanks for stopping by!

The winter that will not quit! The weather people are saying another big snowstorm is headed our way next week. Not what we need this year for sure. Convoys from other states have brought in hay and other food for surviving livestock -- literally lifesaving!! There are many, many other obstacles for ranchers and farmers to overcome so that we can continue to provide food for the country and the world. Please continue to pray and send good wishes to the Great Plains! Thank you. And thanks for stopping by to share bits of your life and your awesome posts!

TWO Sundays in a row!! Seriously! No explanation just "missed schedule" in the Wordpress Dashboard! I'm sorry for any inconvenience. . . . Debbie Dabble posted a while back about wanting to see blogs that are real life and started a firestorm of comments. Her post inspired me to bring back my own Blog Roll, links to blogs I like to read for fun and inspiration. There additions to the original list. Some are newly discovered and some have been rediscovered, but all found because of connections to other bloggers. Debbie recently published a summary of the responses she received to her earlier post. She certainly is not alone in her desire to connect with others and to share her own unique home and thoughts about her own real life experiences. Thanks, Debbie, for the ... [Read More]

APOLOGIES FOR MISSING THE START TIME FOR BUSY MONDAY. THE ONLY CLUE IS "MISSED SCHEDULE" BURIED IN THE DASHBOARD - WILL INVESTIGATE FURTHER. SO SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE. Sorry for shouting -- but I wanted you to notice. And it sort of fits my mood right now! I was astonished to find that our state has more rivers than any other state. Nobody else knew it either because they've never flooded all at once before! We are fine, but have relatives who had to evacuate, others who are in towns where there are no roads out -- or in. The damage is mind boggling. The good thing is the number of people who have already stepped up to help in so many ways. It is also a good thing that YOU stopped by to share you awesome posts! Thank you. Featured from last week: The ... [Read More]

Off to a wedding shower today an hour away. "Good Lord willin' and the creek don't rise" as the old saying goes. The north eastern part of the state three hours away has extensive flooding and several family members have been evacuated. The western part has had severe blizzards, with devastating effects for cattle ranchers (and beef buyers) and the middle of the state (that's us!) had a wild blizzard followed by heavy rainstorms causing flooding along the waterways, closing roads and wiping out bridges so caution is called for everywhere. What a winter!! Thanks for stopping by to add your awesome posts!
