Walkin' in High Cotton

Well, this past weekend will not be one for the scrapbooks. And it certainly won’t go down on our list of romantic alone time. As a matter of fact, after this blog post, I might try to forget it even ever happened… Marriage isn’t all it’s cracked up to be in the Disney movies. I [...]

This past weekend while I was wandering around the farm checking on a few new happenings (some cute, fuzzy, news coming up tomorrow!) I started using the viewfinder on our camera instead of the LCD screen. Just trying it out. I’ve got my eye on a new Nikon D5100, but my coffee can savings bank [...]

About a month ago I signed up with my friend Aurie to join a Bible in 90 Days reading group, starting February 1st. So far I’m hanging tight, but whew, this is an eye-opener already for me! I have to admit, I’ve never read the Bible completely, cover to cover. I have read the entire [...]

On Sunday we had a young couple come by to look at Hannah, our stubborn little Arabian mare. They decided they were interested in taking her for a few weeks to see how it worked out. We agreed that if it didn’t, they could bring her back. They have time and experience and I’m pretty [...]

Whew, I’m kinda exhausted by the last few days of the week and the weekend. We’ve had a lot going on and some of it was good and some of it was bad and some of it I’m still sorting out. Sometimes I wish God would send me a few less mountains. Ruby is doing [...]

I’ve always been a book lover and a reader, but the last few years it’s come in spurts. Sometimes I just don’t seem to have the time or I’m totally exhausted and just want to mindlessly veg out with my few moments of spare time. Other times I can’t seem to get my nose out [...]

I’m having a hard time keeping my enthusiasm up this week. I feel like I’ve been going hard since last weekend and I’m just tired. It’s mental and physical this time, not just mental and emotional (like usual). I’ve been trying to revamp my diet, be more active, and cut back the caffeine (again) and [...]

I was home for lunch the other day and happened to capture a couple shots of our bulls shoving each other around out in the field.  I have a feeling that Red Bull probably started it. Our gray bull, Chester, isn’t very excitable and only bothers to exert his authority when there’s breeding opportunities to [...]

Well, I suppose it’s time for me to admit that I had another birthday recently. Back on the 29th of December I turned 33. Part of me would rather not discuss it, but part of me thinks it’s always been an important part of my New Year’s assessment and goal setting. A time of reflection. [...]

It’s been a while since I posted anything really crafty. I’ve been a little too busy for much crafting and what I have been doing has been very last minute. But here’s something I’m very excited about finishing–my prayer journal! My goal for this year, 2012, is intentional prayer and scripture. Not just to pray [...]
