I know that is a pretty sad looking picture of a chicken with this post but, “There is a time for everything and a season for every activity.” (Ecc. 3:1 [NIV]) This is molting season. I learn so many lessons about God at my ranch, so I am going to share one with you now. … Continue reading Molting Season

Defined
Today we're going to start with a little time travel, all the way back to last millennium. I recall the moment exactly. (Full disclosure, I'm a bit of a nerd.) I was in 7th grade. I was sitting at the desk in my bedroom doing homework, math homework, to be specific. I had an epiphany, … Continue reading Defined
Change of life
Did you know that the word circumcision is mentioned 87 times in the Bible? Why do men get all the publicity? Well, being a woman is no picnic either fellas. I was reminded of this the other day when a friend told me she barely got any sleep due to the effects of menopause. It … Continue reading Change of life
Unsustainable
I am exhausted and stressed! Who knew being in total control would require so much work? I certainly did not realize that I breathe 23,040 times a day, that my heart beats 86,400 times a day, that I blink 20,640 times a day, I swallow 2000 times day and that it takes me 24 to … Continue reading Unsustainable
Mmmm, Pizza
You can't make everyone happy. You are not pizza. I learned this lesson in the early stages after opening my own business. Branching out on my own, clients were precious and I felt I could not lose any. There was a point one month were I wondered if I could afford to buy a tube … Continue reading Mmmm, Pizza
V.P.L. (Visible Panty Line)
You can learn something new every day. My husband showed me this the other day. He asked, “Did you know VPL is a real problem? This commercial says so.” I said, “No, what's VPL?” Visible Panty Line. Wow, as a woman with a vast and extensive wardrobe, I never even considered it before that day. … Continue reading V.P.L. (Visible Panty Line)
Frolic more
My last post was about rescuing a lady bug from drowning in the cow's water tub. This post is about another of God's creation, only on a much bigger scale, the humpback whale. I watched a mama and baby swimming gracefully together, and had another “awe” moment. No, I didn't watch them swimming on the … Continue reading Frolic more
Coccinellidae
It's all a matter of perception. I perceive the same 100 feet to be a much shorter distance during the spring, summer, and fall, than I do in the winter. Why? It is finally warm enough to pull out the 100 foot hose in order to fill up some of our animal's water tubs. It … Continue reading Coccinellidae
Essential Worker Status
As a food producer in Colorado, I have to carry a letter with me at all times. It is a critical business designation which states that “the bearer of this letter is an essential worker in the food and agricultural sector and in exempt from any restrictions placed on work or travel during the COVID-19 … Continue reading Essential Worker Status
