My friends M. and D. are those people and last year, they adopted his grandchildren and find themselves as parents, now in their fifth decade, to three children,…

Dave and I are at it hammer and tongs with Verizon…again and are entering Month III. We’ve had intermittent phone “service” -and I use the word lightly- since January 11, 2010. Some days we’ve spent four and five hours on the phone with Verizon representatives who assure us, “I’m sorry and we’ll resolve your problem immediately.” Liar, liar, pants on…

The Slow Living post resounded with some of you; it seems we all have a need to slow down, even those of us whose lives are already out of step, seemingly, with the rest of this ole world.

~ A portion of Thistle Cove Farm’s woolly flock ~ The snow is knee deep, again, this morning and even deeper in some places. It looks like just another snowy day on the farm but I’m going to try and get to the studio today which, lately, has been difficult due to drifts up against the studio door. The studio…

~ Mama Cass says, “yeah, you won!” ~ So much to talk about, not the least of which are the folks who won my OWOH 2010 gifts. As most of you know, I am, almost, a complete computer ejit so you’ll have to take my word for the numbers Random picked. Probably, there’s a way to copy the information…

~ Happy Valentine’s now and always ~ “the LORD appeared to him from far away. I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you.” ~ Jeremiah 31:3 ~ “I thought once how Theocritus had sung Of the sweet years, the dear and wished-for years, Who each one in a gracious hand appears…

~ swaying bird feeder ~ Housekeeping note – I try to always respond, privately, to each note but sometimes it takes me a while to comment on the blog. If your settings are set to “no reply”, that’s why you’re not receiving a quick response. Re. my last entry and questions…thank you to those who had answers and I’ve…

~ red berries ~ Please, some of you savvy bloggers out there, I’ve a question or three but I’m afraid they aren’t posed very well. I’m not a high tech blogger and am in need of much help -smile-. 1. Other than physically clicking on each follower’s button and writing down the information, is there an easier way to…
