Not Again! Farm

I got up this morning and went out to feed the animals.  I walked over to the goat pen and the goats came a running as usual.  What was unusual was the horse came running in the goat pen too.  When I went to bed last night, she was in the horse pasture.
So Gracie and […]

I got to make a trip to the big city of Richmond yesterday.  I had to go buy paper and I wanted to get a gizmo to download the pictures from my SM card in my camera to my computer.  There just simply isn’t any place to buy either locally.

The storm got off to a promising start this morning.  When I got up at 5:30 the snow had already started and by the time the sun was up at 6:30 or so, the ground was covered.  I sat here and debated on going in to the shop.  My major fear being that I would […]

I looked out the window yesterday morning around 11:30 and it was like looking out into a blizzard.  Snow was not only falling, it was coming down so hard and so fast that I couldn’t see my neighbors house.  I came back in and looked at the forecast again… Yup, mostly sunny with some clouds […]

So this has been a week and it seems like I have lost everything! I spent two days tearing my house apart for some business stuff just to discover that I hadn’t brought it home at all. It was at the shop, right where it was supposed to be. Grrrrrrr!
Then I lost […]
