Happy Mother’s Day. Family structures and situations may differ, but somewhere in the mix is a “Mom”. We’ve all seen the ferocity of a Mama bear who’s protecting her cubs or an elephant Mom and the herd’s group of “Aunts” protecting one of their babies.  But, here on the farm, the maternal instinct to protect [...]

I have a small, ornate, gold woman’s pocket watch in my jewelry case.  The watch’s case is delicately engraved and its round white face has black script numerals under a glass watch crystal. It was my paternal grandmother’s “dress” watch. In her day, men and women alike carried a watch on a fob in their [...]

There's a Lot of Sickness Out There Now First it was the noroviruses, then the flu, now strep is raging, and most folks I know have a cold. Before going to the medicine counter at the store, consider how you might help speed your recovery along with what you are eating or drinking. I am [...]

This coming Wednesday is Valentine's Day. The word “love” will get bantered around a lot. The Greeks had eight different words for “love', each having its own nuanced meaning.  We only have the one word in the English language so, sometimes, it's harder to interpret the user's intended meaning. Simply put, Jesus said the greatest [...]

Today, March 10, we changed the time. Well no, we changed our clocks. Time is constant and no matter how hard we try, we can't change time.  There's been an attempt to change history with removing statues and editing text books but, the past remains unchanged. Mother Nature certainly knows what time it is; the [...]

Yes, that is my junk drawer in my kitchen.  Don't look at me like that ... I know you have one too.  And yes, I have tried to organize it.  Again. And. Again.  But it always just ends up like this.  Besides, how do you organize post-its, bags of keys, a zillion pens, paperclips and [...]
