I am in a state of wonderment. I wonder, I appreciate, I am grateful. This great plan for me -- for us -- all of us -- that I am part of, I wonder why it has to be like this, but accept and know it IS for a reason, and it is not that I am to be miserable, but...

Well this is certainly long overdue. But isn't that just that way -- those that do the most, that hold it all together -- that do the real work of -- everything -- don't get the credit they deserve. The accolades, the attention -- goes to knuckleheads...

The first year on the farm had its perils, like the time the phone company changed our phone number, without us initiating the task or them asking us if it was okay. To top that off they wouldn't give us the new number because they said it was...

After the persons surprise that often accompanies the answer, that yes we indeed do farm, we get asked about vacations. "When do you take vacations," or "Now that summer is over what do you do?" Work never...

Poison ivy is everywhere around this farm. I'm pretty sure I've discovered just about every patch there is. Even now, my arms are covered with the stuff. If there were a monetary market for it I'd be rich. It was not until this summer...

I didn't want to include this story with the other entry from today because it deserves its own space. Whether anyone will read this or not doesn't even matter but somehow I wanted to leave a tribute to the wonderful, but sad, heart of a dog.
