It’s still Fall, and I’m still Loving It!! For those in the South–aren’t you loving it that Fall has returned to temperate days and chilly nights again? It’s just lovely, so let’s enjoy it while it lasts! This week we harvested even more tomatoes and some tomatillos from the garden. Not a lot, but enough…

Simple Pleasures This week, despite it being the end of October, found me relishing the pleasure of hanging a couple of loads of laundry out. It’s a simple thing, but just gave me some pause to look around and enjoy the day. Falling leaves–so loud I could hear the rustling of them gently drifting down–gave…

Honestly, when I posted on Wednesday about Hairball, that was all I could handle for awhile. See that post here. 😢. Since that day I’ve nursed a huge headache, so I’ve…

Not Hairball Too! I lost my friend today. Sometimes life just kind of stinks–there are those days, anyway. Yesterday he was sleeping in my bed, walking up the hill with me, and head-butting me at every chance. Today he sleeps alone, up the hill next to Tiger, and I won’t feel his furry head bumping…

TBH. To be Honest Continuing on from yesterday, I just want To Be Honest, yet not give excuses. There’s a fine line there that I don’t pretend to navigate perfectly. Yesterday left me asking myself, “Why, when another family I met walked through a similar valley as mine, did they come out smiling, while I…

TBH. To Be Honest We’ve occasionally listened to some podcasts entitled TBH History. We enjoy the lighthearted approach to historical events, but they are solid. Not long ago, I desired to take the TBH approach as well on my blog. TBH includes truth, and maybe it’s not all Pinterest-worthy, but I’d rather just be real….

Gratitude The Lord has been impressing me more lately that no matter what my circumstances, there is always something that I can see that is good. Always something to be thankful for. That’s how choosing gratitude can change us from the inside out. Life has honestly kept me bogged down a lot. And I’ve…
