Today was Brad’s birthday and we stopped at the bakery yesterday and he picked out a cake. No, not the one in the photo…but it’s awfully close! I didn’t think to get a pic before we started eating the candy off the top of it or slicing into it. In any case, it was aContinue reading “Too Much Chocolate Cake”

Recalculating…
I had thought to be finished with this plying project by now but it seems I’ve been overdoing the spinning thing lately, requiring a second visit to the chiropractor this week due to muscle spasms in my upper back. So today will be a ‘rest in the recliner and knit’ day instead of sitting atContinue reading “Recalculating…”
Fiber Inventory Is Finished
Stick a fork in me, turn me over, I’m done! My fiber stash consists of 135 lbs of wool, alpaca, bison, camel down, cashmere, silk, raime, flax and cotton.

Roast Beef For Sunday
I ordered a pot roast with my grocery order yesterday and put it in the crock pot with new potatoes, carrots, red onion, a cup of water and a cup of red wine after seasoning it with freshly ground sea salt and freshly ground peppercorn blend. I set it on low at 10 pm andContinue reading “Roast Beef For Sunday”
Cold And Foggy
I woke up before 8 am, rested from a good night’s sleep and a day of doing pretty much nothing yesterday. It’s 28° outside and foggy. It’s also our youngest grandson’s birthday. He is two years old today. We need to pick up a load of cattle feed to take to the farm later thisContinue reading “Cold And Foggy”

I put three large, boneless, skinless chicken breast halves in the shallow crock pot insert and seasoned them with salt and pepper. Then I topped them with sliced garlic cloves and a sliced medium red onion and poured BBQ sauce over the top and set the crock pot on low overnight. After breakfast I turnedContinue reading “Home Cooking”
Another Birthday
Miss Rachel is 13 today. Holy cow! We have another teenager in the family! We’ll bring her out to spend the day with us very soon. It’s been so blooming hot lately that there isn’t much that we can do outdoors, but we can find something to do inside and enjoy the A/C. We hadContinue reading “Another Birthday”
There Is No Local News Anymore
Rant alert! I used to watch the top local news station in our area, KXII, until they went all ‘woke’ with propagating the Left’s lies about Jan 6, 2021. So, I switched my browser homepage to the other local station, KTEN, until they came up with this nonsense: “Fact Check: The various flavors of dishonestyContinue reading “There Is No Local News Anymore”
It’s A Wonderful Life!
I am married to the love of my life, coming up on forty-seven years of marriage in March. I have a gorgeous, talented daughter who has found the love of her life at long last, with a house full of children, living on the family farm and continuing what her grandparents worked so hard toContinue reading “It’s A Wonderful Life!”
Happy Grandson
He loves it! Grandson Joshua is very pleased with his gift and wants to know when he can come out to our house to visit…and can he bring his wand. I stopped by the farm this afternoon to drop some stuff off for Audrey and they all seem to be doing just fine. I’m happyContinue reading “Happy Grandson”
