• ~A Bit of Home~

  The little parlor in The Painted Nest, is waiting… she lingers between fall and winter. Thanksgiving will find her adorned in deep rust reds. Her memory table drawer will be redone… with new treasures of family heritage. In this old room, new memories will be made. New pillows will adorn her feather sofa. Little hearts filled with expectation will giggle and shout. I love the word “home”, don’t you? Did you like this? Share it:Tweet

My photography is never as good as my beloved’s He is great at the Au Natural shots… My [...]

• ~Almost Home~

  Official snow count…40 inches. Farming is hard work in the best of weather, but in winter…the true love of the craft comes to light.  There is no one else in this world that has my undying adoration, than my beloved. He rises at 4 am…and works most days till hours not fit for man nor beast. The latest snow storm was so massive, that he had to walk the West 60 meadow to get a tractor. Why? Because the tractors [...]
