If you had a freeway billboard, what would it say? Oh my gosh!!! Just the question I needed today. That sign is a message to my husband saying “Buy your wife more goats”! Since I got goats I’ve fallen in love with them! I don’t know why I didn’t get them sooner. I’m the crazyContinue reading “Freeway Billboard”

Everyday Life For Me
I’ve never not had pain but as this year keeps going the joint pain, body aches, extreme fatigue, and I could go on and on with symptoms. I know it’s not normal. I had my first appointment with a rheumatologist yesterday. I knew I had some type of arthritis but what type I wasn’t sure.Continue reading “Everyday Life For Me”
On This Day 3 Years Ago…
3 years ago, my life changed drastically, I became a widow. The morning started out just like any other, coffee, talking about our day, hoping we would get to spend time with our grandsons, then it all changed. My husband passed. I had no clue I was as strong as I was until that day.Continue reading “On This Day 3 Years Ago…”
Where Is My Sanity?
With this past month just flying by, I sit here today wondering where this month has gone. We’ve done so much work around the homestead. We finally got the barn roof repaired, almost have the turkey runs completed, the new quail cages are almost done, barn clean up with a constant task, and always helpingContinue reading “Where Is My Sanity?”
Writing
What do you enjoy most about writing? I enjoy being able to express my thoughts and emotions. I haven’t done that very well in the past but I am trying to be better. Letting others into my thoughts and feelings is not easy.

What strategies do you use to maintain your health and well-being? Right now with so much stress and anxiety, I’m not coping well. I just live on caffeine and profanity. LOL Caffeine keeps me going all day, oh and my fondness for sweets. It’s a far cry from where I was a year ago, myContinue reading “Health and Well-Being”

Changes…
What would you change about modern society? What would I change about modern society? I wish we could go back to the days where it wasn’t all about ourselves, it was about helping your community, loving your neighbors, wanting to be a better person. So much about todays society is about others not caring aboutContinue reading “Changes…”
Just Another Day
On these smoldering summer days what can you do but try and keep cool. I’ve taken to working outside in the mornings. Taking care of the animals and gardening. I’m constantly going outside to check on the animals throughout the day, making sure they have cool water, and they are all doing okay. Much ofContinue reading “Just Another Day”
Auction Day!!
The last Friday of every month is my favorite day! It’s the Amish Animal auction in Yoder, Kansas. It’s a 2 hour drive from home but completely worth it. We love being able to get away from the homestead for a day and being around other chicken people. We’ve made some really good acquaintances. WeContinue reading “Auction Day!!”
