Good Evening, Pond! Just paddling on through as I wait for the rhubarb crisp to come out of the oven. Life is crazy busy right now, even without the stress of trying to get a crop planted. We’ve gotten about 6” of rain over the past 1 1/2 weeks, and there is water standing everywhere! I hope...

Rainy and windy here after a beautiful weekend. Woke up to a thunderstorm this morning.

Good Evening, Pond! Just came in after spending most of the afternoon outside, indulging in some dirt therapy. Warm temperatures, sunshine, and digging in the dirt are good for the soul!

I think I should come visit you every spring, just to get my fill of cuteness. 🥰

WHAT??? :eek: But… don’t they need our permission first? I mean, I have some time yet - the oldest is 8, so it won’t happen right away. Maybe there’s time to convince them that they need to ask before they go live their own lives.

Hello, Pond! Had the local grandkids over for a sleepover last night. 4 1/2 year old GD crawled in with me around 1:30. I saw 4:30 come and go before I fell back asleep. Trying to sleep next to that child is like sleeping next to a heater disguised as an octopus that requires a minimum of four...

Nice of you to help them out! 🤣

Good Evening, Pond! No school today, so I got my closet project done. I’m hoping it dries evenly because I’m almost out of the paint. It will be fun for the kids. No school tomorrow either, due to “continuing difficult travel conditions”. I’ve gotta say - I didn’t feel very bad when I got the...

Good Afternoon, Pond! It’s been snowing for a few hours now. We’ve gotten a couple of inches so far. I decided that today was a good day to renew my food manager license so I am good to go for Camp again this year. I have to recertify every 3 years. So, I do a lesson or two, get up and do...

Good Morning Pond! After 75 and sunny on Monday of last week, the weather guessers are predicting this for the next few days: We’re ready for it! We always have plenty of food in the house, and I have materials for my next project. I have a 4’x5’ closet that I keep the kids’ toys in when...

AI on the dairy farm stood for artificial insemination.

When my dairy farm-raised DH hears “AI”, “intelligence” is not what comes to his mind…

Thanks for posting these pics! I have a couple of hens that look like this that I got in a “layer special” from M McM. I don’t remember if it was a rainbow special or not. But it might explain these eggs… Although, I’m also getting a few like the one you posted.

Good Afternoon, Pond! Warm, sunny and windy here on the prairie. Spent some time in the greenhouse working some good old barnyard compost into the soil. It was nice and warm in there. The heat felt good!

Good Afternoon, Pond! A bright, sunny day today. I spent some time in my greenhouse pulling weeds, getting ready to plant things. It’s still way too early to plant, but not to dream and plan. I’m also contemplating putting a small hugelculture plot in my big garden, just to see what it’s like...

Whine away! Sometimes a person just needs to. I’m glad you have a referral for the retina specialist.

We had temporary summer yesterday. It was 61, sunny and calm. Today it’s 11 (-10 windchill), cloudy and 30 mph winds.

I miss them, too.

We got 3” of RAIN on Christmas, some snow and sub-zero temps in January for a few days, and then little to no precipitation until today. We’ve had crazy warm temperatures even a couple of days in the mid-50s. Today, winter came back for a brief visit. We got 3” of snow that resulted in super...

Hello, Pond! Happy Valentine’s Day! This year we are experiencing the winter that wasn’t. Or maybe the winter yet to come? March is typically pretty wet, but we’ll see, I guess.
