Just a tad windy here in the hills today! Nothing like the predictions, though……yet!

Growing up as the daughter of a Baptist minister, and attending church all of my life, means that I do my best to set Sundays aside as a day of rest and reflection on all that is Holy.

The year is quickly winding down. Soon we will be ushering in 2024!
A new beginning! Renewed strength and energy!

My favorite resolution: To be better organized!

We shall see how that works out!

A peek back at warmer days!

Merry Christmas Eve to all my Civatar friends! I wish you all the very best that life holds.

(Might want to put a little less rum in that fruitcake soak next year!)

I post this every year and still get chills when I read it even after all this time. My brother has been gone several years now, and I still miss him dealy.

Sounds like something out of a science fiction movie doesn’t it!!

Thanksgiving is over and it’s time to start thinking really seriously about The Christmas Holidays!

My favorite picture from way back. The tree looks a bit different each year but basically stays the same.

Sorta like my life… different- yet the same!

It’s most important that we don’t forget this!

Today will be spent raking and bagging the windfall of long needles from the white pine trees on the property.
They will be used to fill the dog’s boxes and to make comfy nests for the hens to lay their eggs in. Any leftovers will be used in spring for veggie mulch.

White pine is not native to this area, but we have several trees that were brought home by my girls from school as tiny little “treelings”!
