The infamous Sheppie Ladew came to visit tonight. He's our dog friend. McFly, Gracie and Jenna get so excited when he drives up the driveway. They all run around together for a few minutes and then McFly decides he's all set. Then, a few minutes later, Gracie decides she's all set. But Jenna and Sheppie … Continue reading Ready
Another day of working around the house. Another day of complaining about working around the house. Again, Christian was not impressed. I spent many hours on the ground of our back porch painting and stenciling the concrete floor. I'm not sure how I'm feeling about the finished product. Once I get all the furniture back … Continue reading Angry Octopus
I can amaze myself with my ability to procrastinate chores. And when I'm finally doing it, I'll complain and feel sorry for myself. But then, when it's finally done, I'll think to myself, Well, geez that wasn't so bad. But I don't learn. I just repeat the process over and over again. Today I finally … Continue reading Chores
Spring is the season that tests your patience. You get a few days of sun and warmth and you're on top of the world. Then, there's rain and cold. And the feeling that It's supposed to be warm out, it's spring! That was today. Dreary and cold and icky. Some time at the farm checking … Continue reading Happy
I really have been having a hard time writing this every blog every day. How is that for honesty? It's been four months where I haven't missed a day. But, as I sit here at my desk today, I really want to quit. I also know that these last few weeks have been emotionally exhausting. … Continue reading Process
I don't have much to say today except that I want to remember that this little girl is who I am. Messy, joyful and full of life. Being an adult is overrated. I've been an adult for a while and I'm done with it.Sure, okay, I'll keep going and do what needs to be done. … Continue reading Her
When I was little, there was a family down the street that had basset hounds. We always had hounds because my dad was a hunter, but we never had a basset hound. We would drive by their house and the dogs would be just hanging out in their driveway. I always loved them and dreamed … Continue reading Wonder Dogs
When I sit down to write these posts, I have no idea what is going to come out. Some days I want to write something deep and meaningful and powerful. And it just doesn't happen. That's the weird thing about writing this blog - the more I think about what to write, the harder it … Continue reading Time
Today it rained and rained and rained. I'm in New Hampshire and found out that when it rains and rains and rains here, water comes into our basement. That's good to know. The river is flowing like crazy, so the water is light brown from the stirred up sand. The little sandy spot I planned … Continue reading Rain
We have a super comfy couch and two relatively comfy chairs in our living room. We also have Christian's leather recliner we bought about 20 years ago. We really try to keep the dogs off of the furniture. We really do. We prop up cushions so they can't fit. We put our little square cube … Continue reading Couch Dogs
