Our lives are never boring.
This evening, our son’s close friend and his beloved came out to the farm to pick up some stuff for a film they are shooting.
They were weary from racing around the city, finding props and costumes. I asked them what they still needed, and they reeled off a list of things […]
Last night, we had a wonderful time. A friend of ours, who is a musician, (he plays fiddle in my DH, Jim’s trio) had a birthday party. (How many times can you sing ‘Happy Birthday’ and how many ways can you make it totally unique? My favorite was when it spun off into a fabulous […]

We have a wasp problem, and don’t want to use pesticides to kill them. Well, actually, we don’t really even want to kill the rotten little beasties…. they are part of the grand plan of nature, after all. We just don’t want the little stinkers to set up shop around our house, barn, hayshed, tool […]
We live in the country on a small farm. We have 2 dogs that we walk twice a day.
This morning, when we were walking our boys, a huge fox came up out of our neighbour’s ditch and shot across the road into our grove. Not an unusual event, but we were glad our cats were […]
