Christmas Wish…

Here is wishing you and your families a blessed and happy Christmas… Hope you had a wonderful day celebrating the Lords birth.

Twas the Night Before Christmas…

And all through the house not a creature was stirring not even a mouse… The dogs were all nestled all snug in their beds… While visions of summertime danced in their heads… Merry Christmas Eve everyone  🙂

Oh Christmas Tree… O Christmas Tree…

How lovely are your branches. Without fail every year since hubby and I got married (and when I was a child) we have gone to get our Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving. This year was the same and the last few years my mom and step-dad have gone with us… which was great. We got to the tree farm about an hour before … Read More Oh Christmas Tree… O Christmas Tree…

Snuggled

We prepared for the pending ice and snow storm predicted for our area today after Baxter had his end of the year Therapy Dog visit to the library. It was so cold with the wind and the dogs were out trying to help us. Once we got back inside the pups were ready for dinner and to find a warm spot… They have their … Read More Snuggled

Rushing Time

When I was growing up my parents always told me that every year of my life will feel like it is going faster and faster. I don’t think back then I believed them, but I sure do now. This year has felt like this… It feels like each year is like a waterfall or stream that is wearing away with time and rushes down … Read More Rushing Time

Love after Christmas…

Our Christmas is over, but the snow still has lingered. I just love snow (especially when I don’t have to be out driving in it 😉 I took the pups out for a while to play… I just love the photos I got of my Chase in the snow… Baxter was a little under the weather so he came in, stayed in most of the … Read More Love after Christmas…

Merry White Christmas!

Christmas Eve my wish came true.. it snowed and snowed… it snowed until late in the night… It was a great way to bring in our saviors birthday… The dogs enjoyed playing in the snow and even let me snap a photo under a tree while they caught their breath… Some of our chickens came out and others hid from the snow… It was … Read More Merry White Christmas!

Family Focus… White Christmas

Yesterday was WINDY… so much so we have had to take down some of our Christmas decorations outside and our table on the back porch almost flew off. The chickens are not allowed out as it would appear they may blow off. That put a little damper on yesterday as last night we had surprised my Grandmother and took her my mom and step-father to see … Read More Family Focus… White Christmas

Kindness at Christmas…

Week two of our Christmas countdown… this weeks value/feeling is kindness 🙂 Kindness by definition  is the act or the state of being kind, being marked by good and charitable behavior, pleasant disposition, and concern for others. It is known as a virtue, and recognized as a value in many cultures and religions (per Wikipedia). Some of my favorite synonyms for this that I found … Read More Kindness at Christmas…

Gratitude in giving…

Tonight I got to give a little girl just what she asked for this Christmas…. a horse 🙂   She was very happy and hubby and I were happy to give her what she wanted 🙂 Sometimes giving provides the best kind of gratitude 🙂 Isn’t that what this season is suppose to be about. God gave to us so we can give to … Read More Gratitude in giving…

Barns of Gratitude

While driving hubby and I do a lot fo talking and I do a lot of thinking. As many of you know I love old barns and taking photos of them… on a recent trip I saw this old barn and it was decked out old fashion style for Christmas…. I feel blessed and grateful that there are still places like this for kids to see as … Read More Barns of Gratitude

We got a tree…

We have a family tradition that has occurred since I was a child and hubby and I continued since we met… We always go and get our Christmas tree from a local tree farm that we can cut down ourselves. When I was a child these trees sometimes would come off our own land, but usually from a local farmer who would let us … Read More We got a tree…
