A love of reading
Tuesday, June 30, 2020 9:47 AM
I have always loved to read. Perhaps it is because of my ever so fond childhood memories of my grandmother reading to us just before bedtime. We would sit beside her, snuggled in close, helping her turn the colorful pages as she read to us.

  • The pole barn

    Thursday, June 25, 2020 7:46 AM
    The very first thing we built on the farm was the pole barn. We built it as big as we could imagine that we would ever need, 60 feet long by 40 feet wide. Our neighbors had all warned us to build it at least one-third bigger than we thought we might need, and we believed that we were heeding their advice.

  • The little red tractor

    Wednesday, June 17, 2020 12:06 PM
    My little red tractor may not be show perfect. Her paint is dulled and grease has balled up on her fittings, but she is absolutely picture-perfect in my eyes. I really do feel a kindred spirit in this little machine, and I would not part with her for the world because even though we may both be well into our 60s, we are still happily chugging along.

    I know that my father would be very proud to see that his daughter, though gray-haired and older, walking in his footsteps.

  • The calming wind

    Thursday, June 4, 2020 11:56 AM
    This morning’s wind is blowing bright white clouds across the creek valley, sending them to the southwest, sailing through a brilliant blue sky. Usually, the wind blows the clouds in the other direction, and I imagine them heading eastward to our son and daughter, who live on the east coast, but not today. Today, it curiously blows the other way.

  • Tools of the trade

    Thursday, May 28, 2020 7:51 AM
    When I was an attorney, the most important tool that I held in my hand was my pen. When I was in trial, I took notes on every word said, circling those that I intended to come back to with follow-up questions on my cross examination.

  • Chicken love in in the creek valley

    Thursday, May 21, 2020 9:48 AM
    Chicken love. Yes, it is a very real thing, this love of chickens. Whenever I step outside, they greet me with feathered adoration. A few of the girls have even learned to peck at the house doors, a knock-knock-knocking for an invitation inside to step inside and perhaps receive an offered treat.

  • Turkeys in the valley

    Thursday, May 14, 2020 9:18 AM
    Some folks might think that thoughts of turkey typically warm our minds on a particular late fall holiday. Visions of pumpkin pie, pilgrims and turkeys all mingle together as family and friends gather around their tables to give thanks for the fall harvest, but for those of us who live along the creek, there is another turkey time.

  • Many ways to be a mother

    If I should ever stop to count my own children, I would quickly run out of both fingers and toes.

  • Suddenly green

    Thursday, April 30, 2020 8:17 AM
    Green has always been my favorite color, but not just any green. The green that I love is the newly growing, almost neon green of early spring.
