All Things Home and Family
I have not made a simple picture post in a long time. So let's see where this takes us. Elv brought flowers home for me yesterday. A big, luscious bouquet of red and white roses with lovely floral and green foliage. The roses are fragrant and firm so I'll have this bouquet on the table… Continue reading Spring Picture Post
Of course when I chose Shelter for my word for 2020, I had no idea we were going to need that word this year. Covid-19 was just making its rounds on the other side of the world having nothing whatsoever to do with us on this side of the globe. We hadn't heard of it… Continue reading Shelter and Covid-19
Stopping beside my bookcase this morning as I finished fixing the bed, I decided that definitely it was time to rearrange the books. I styled it my way. I get a kick out of stacks and rows ordered by size or color. Old books with their broken, tattered spines turned backwards. I smile when by… Continue reading Books
I usually post my Easter verses and thoughts here. This year has been so different at "so many levels" (this phrase is really popular right now, have you noticed?), that I almost forgot that little tradition. I think that Easter ought to be celebrated equally with Christmas. Yet, we couldn't have Easter if we didn't… Continue reading Easter
Here we are, Elv and I, enjoying our "empty nest". This little house is anything but empty. It's full with only the basics of household furniture and things. So I keep it as clean and tidy as possible. There's no room for messes left from projects or dirty dishes or anything out of it's place.… Continue reading Home Life
I am loving this staying at home. I'm sorry that it came about in such an unfortunate way. I'm praying daily and doing my part. That's what we're all doing: praying and staying. And washing our hands. Washing our hands reminds me of Pilate. I never know how to feel about him. He was so… Continue reading More Staying Home and Hand Washing
Safer At Home has launched us into an interesting opportunity. We get to stay home. For those who love to home make, it is our fondest wish come true, right? Yet, I am sure there will be the hard places to live through. We could still get sick, I suppose. Or simply bored. So I… Continue reading Our Table At Home
Corona virus is the main topic of everyone's discussions. The novel virus truly is that. New and never seen before and interesting. So, no school, no church, no meetings, no non-essential business. I've had many different scribblings this week, in my journal and on a blog rough draft. The scene changes daily and everyone else… Continue reading Please Stay At Home
Sitting at my new desk/writing nook at the cabin, the window beside me a panorama of the woods, swamp, and lawn, full of snow, below. I'm hoping that the pictures to post here will load onto my google library with our booster connection to the world wide web. I really wanted to finally post a… Continue reading Cabin Posting
Having a sense of well-being has become quite important to me. Maybe too important. I used to not think one way or the other about it. If something seemed wrong, then I could count on there actually being something wrong, and the ordinary solutions should apply. Proper stove fires keep the house warm and dry,… Continue reading A Sense of Well-Being
