Spring on The Farm

Life is good. So many, too many see only the potholes of sin in life. Folks need to look up and see the rainbows. With Spring I am encouraged to write and I want the few readers to know what a kind world this can be if we allow compassion to enter our hearts.

Look, reach out, touch the gifts around us.
There are so many.

I have been trying to realize it’s not so important to do that last chore of the day when a grandson is waiting to play. I had a wonderful experience with one of them on Sunday. I did not control the direction of the day, I allowed him to, for the most part. He read to me, not I to him. He taught me things on the computer, not I him. He was so much fun to be with. He climbed up on the couch and we watched a movie and repeatedly he said “Nani, I love you” or “Nani, I’m so glad we could spend today together” He melted my heart. What a joy.

This is Heather and Zyg. Daughter-in-law and grandson. Back a few years ago. The other is Ryan, my son and his daughter Nikki. The kids: Laura and Ryan:

My own children are doing well. They continue to help me out here and take the burden of heavy chores off me. I am so very content to remain in my home and continue to renovate and do the gardens. I remain active around here but find I sure do like relaxing at night. A summer’s eve here with the sun shining in is so very soothing.

Krista: Found my Krista, what else is there to say. My circle is whole now.

Although, I enjoy a summer rain on the front porch where I can watch the clouds drift by and get lost in the music of the rain drops. A symphony of sounds as they say. Last night I saw a rainbow while driving home from work……..what a gift., wasn’t a rainbow a gift from God to Man? I think so.

The house: Always still coming along with projects, never a dull moment. Had 5 huge trees taken down this winter. One was 42” across the base, (not around) but across.

Yeppers, that’s firewood for next winter. Yee Haw! Won’t be spending money on wood……..Cutting and splitting is a gift from my son and two friends who are so gracious to assist me and I’m feeling lucky to have them….When someone feels as lucky as I do, it almost comes off as bragging, but I’m not, I really feel thankful for my luck……….it’s most appreciated.

The Dogs: As most of you know I save and rescue dogs from the kill shelters or .org’s that are searching for “forever” homes. My two are doing fine, pics are in other spots on the blog. Same old, same old. Of course this is besides working full time a the daily newspaper. This is a shot of them relaxing, and the bamboo shades making stripes on them....and everything else.




FACEBOOK – I’ve entered the world of virtual reality. With the prodding of my friends I have become one of the many FB addicts. I admit, I check in often and plan some things around the times of gaming chores to do. Well, I find I’m as much of an addict as all my friends…….my friends live all over New England, as most and many come from the Honda Element Club I belong to. We have a club that is very active with meets and friendly camping trips all over New England. Anyway, It’s been fun to see them in fb and chat a little. Who wadda thunk it? Me, the hermit, the loner, the home-body, all of a sudden on facebook……geeese, what’s next?

So with this quick note, I call to all of you to let life be enjoyed. It's a pleasure to be alive and try not to waste time, it's a very valuable item to have. I was really intending on saying something really important on this blog but as usual I just blogged about life....

Stay Healthy, enjoy your family and pets.....
