Some days I just don't know when to stop. I woke up around 4 am. Starting to fall back asleep, then I got a text at 5 am. Oh joy. Gave up any hope of sleep, and went out to work in the garden installing more drip irrigation around 7:30. I have no idea when …
Boys and their toys
Don't you just love them? Brian has been (drooling) wanting a ceramic grill (like the Big Green Egg) for many years, but I just couldn't justify the price tag. So last week when I found a different version (The Pit Boss) for a LOT less, I decided to get him one for his birthday. It …
Turn on a dime
You have heard that old saying, turn on a dime? Well today was like that, but who is kidding who? Most days are like that! Brian and Shana were both gone today, so it was just me, the puppy dogs, the not-so-feral cat, and the chickens. Easy, huh? Well not so much. Start out by …
Reset
Every day is a new day. Good thing! Today was another day of chores, errands, a trip into town with the traffic and time obligations, more chores, then make dinner. Then there are the things that don't quite fit in. That's ok. Just let it roll off. Every day is a new day! Drop off …
No slow time
When you think of a peaceful country life, you think of taking things at your own pace. At least I did! I thought of this peaceful life in the country, doing some cooking, some gardening, taking some walks. Maybe go for a ride on our quads... Well maybe someday! I love my life, but the …
Blackberry Raspberry Crumble Recipe
Hi All, I had a number of requests after my Fathers Day video on YouTube for a recipe for the crumble dessert. It really is so simple that I didn't want to make a video just for that (although I might add it to another later), so I am writing the recipe here. First of …
Follow the Dream
One month ago I would never have dreamed of writing a blog. Or starting a YouTube channel. Too busy. Got too many things to do, lots of responsibilities. But it is funny how you keep getting led towards something from very different directions. Kind of like someone is trying to tell me something. I followed …
YouTube Giveaway!
I started a YouTube channel on June 21, 2017 - 21 days ago! I almost didn't do it, because, really! Who wants to watch me? Well, Linda of Linda's Pantry (not the first, but the most convincing) told me that people are interested in what I do, and they would watch. Well, yesterday during a …
Connections
I love the way that God puts people in my path. I have met so many people in my bookkeeping business, and also in my country community. Almost every time that I drive the 30 miles or so into town (Reno), I meet someone that I know. It's really kind of amazing. Reno isn't a …
Snow or scorch?
You just never know in Northern Nevada! This week we went from 2 inches of snow on the ground and 33 degrees, to 94 degrees today with a threat of thunderstorms, and higher temperatures tomorrow! UPDATE: the neighbor across the road says it is now reading 101 degrees! That is a 68 degree difference in …
