Jacquie Lawson has the Most Fabulous e-cards on the i-net! I am hopeful you’ll be able to see this particular card, chosen for July 4th. My apologies if you’re unable to view the card but my heart’s desire is you’ll have a wonderful July 4th and remember the enormous cost freedom exacts on society. To our patriot forefather’s and mother’s,…

Fiber Arts Friday Carnival
This photo of a covered wagon that’s falling to pieces in a pasture near Thistle Cove Farm. It’s a shame, really, because I would have LOVED to save that old wagon! I’m a bit surprised myself that I remember to post a Fiber Arts Friday Carnival entry. Around here, we go like our feet have wings and it’s easy to…

Here’s Looking At You!
Miss Emma is thriving on her kitten replacement milk formula and puts on a gram or ounce daily. She’s a playful little thing and manages to hold her own with the dogs although I don’t let them play unsupervised. Even little Sam Spade is too strong for Miss Emma in her weakened state. She’s been de-wormed twice and that’s helped;…

Awards!
When I sent you all a hasty note last night stating you’d received this award…I totally forgot the post wasn’t going to be on-line until today. My apologies for making you hurry up and wait; it was totally unintentional but then, you always knew I was a low-tech geek! -smile- You remember in 1985 when Sally Field won the Academy…

Fixer-Upper
Remember the water damage from our heating pipes freezing, bursting, thawing back in January? We’re finally getting around to fixing that part of the house…HURRAH! It’s been a huge job, taking weeks and weeks as it has to be repaired as people have time. I choose a wall color called “Amber” and love how it warms up the room as…

Sabbath Keeping
Happy Sabbath to one and all. I haven’t a clue how to add a video…please, someone, feel free to teach me -smile-…but, in the meantime, visit Spot on Cedar Pond to hear Selah sing their version of “All Our Tears Will Be Washed Away” from their Bless the Broken Road album. I’ve long said I wanted “It Is Well With…

Womenwise Marketing Seal of Approval
Kelly Watson, at Womenwise Marketing, is someone I’ve read for quite a while. I suppose I’m the perennial student in that there’s always something I can learn…every day. I enjoy reading how other women are running their businesses and what they are doing to market, promote and publicize themselves and their businesses. Mark Twain said, “Every man is my superior…

Verizon…Can you hear me now?
POST SCRIPT ~ It’s now 9:32 and nope, Verizon is a no show. Mama and Daddy taught me when I gave my word but then went back on my word, that made me a liar. Have times changed? Does giving your word, then breaking your word no longer mean you’re a liar? Naughty Verizon. BTW, folks about 10 or 12…

Making Hay While the Sun Shines
We have a window of opportunity for hay making; it’s not supposed to rain until Friday so say your prayers and live right! Our alfalfa field is not quite ten acres but it’s plenty for my eight horses and thirty-three sheep. Usually we even have enough to sell and John, our neighbor and Dr. Anne’s brother, is the farmer driving…

Sabbath Keeping
The beginning of another week and pray requests abound as well as thanks to God for answered prayer. A Joyful Chaos‘ daughter was involved in a vehicle accident; please, remember her, her family and the person driving the vehicle in your prayers. Sunbeam is amazingly well, considering it was a serious, very serious, accident. A blogger friend in Washington state…

Week’s End
We’ve been in Richmond on a business trip for Dave. Fortunately, we have an excellent farm sitter and leave the farm knowing things will be well tended. Not, of course, as well as I tend to things but then this farm is my life’s blood and work. I count it all joy to live and work here, even when times…
