We got some snow last night here in the Colorado Rockies. The fresh, light fluffy kind that is called powder. I'm sure a lot of employees are calling in “sick” today, so they can enjoy a powder day. Boy if it wasn't tax season, I might be joining them! So I looked up on my … Continue reading Day Pass
I previously mentioned my word for 2022 is release. A friend of mine, said she is celebrating her Jubilee (50th) birthday this year. I already sent her her presents, even though her birthday is not until April, because the other morning on the news I heard there was a volcano that erupted, causing tsunamis, the … Continue reading Jubilee
Just to let you know up front, this is NOT a story from the ranch! Thanks be to God I have never been in close proximity to a rattlesnake, nor do I plan to be in the future. If you are bitten by a snake, they pump their venom into you through their fangs. It … Continue reading Antivenom

A husband and wife join up with the train part way through the trip. When some of the women on said train … Continue reading Holier than thou

As with many English idioms containing the word black, this one refers to something mysterious or even potentially shameful. People may refer to a journal or part of a journal as their black book or little black book. This means that it … Continue reading My little black book
Just so you know, green is my favorite color. I had a lovely string of malachite beads that I used for my prayerful meditations. A friend who was going through a difficult divorce, needed some extra encouragement, and so I gave them to her, as green is her favorite color too. When looking for a … Continue reading Lapis Lazuli Blue
That's right folks, it is time for another adventure from the ranch! When we got our property, it was overrun with thistles.
