Of Great Dissapointment Comes Great Joy

Instead of some beautiful birth story here, today you get introspection.   As I write this one handedly Micah sleeps peacefully at my beast, warming my body and heart.  I wonder at the meaning, or lesson(s) of his birth, not one I planned, one I am sorely disappointed with.
Yes, I know he’s here, he’s healthy, he’s [...]

Katie’s Christmas Legacy

Seems a few people I know are experiencing grief in a big way this season, it’s the first holiday after the death of their loved one.  I wish there was some way for me to bear it for them, because it really is so hard.  The world is happy, full of mirth, joy, and thanksgiving.  [...]

Sowing the seeds of greatfulness

Our best sleeper has become our worst, this morning I sat at the Kitchen table with Natalia watching the snow covered  landscape out my kitchen window turn from violet to twilight blue to winter white.  Drinking my coffee with my littlest one, who doesn’t seem quite so little anymore, got me to thinking about how [...]

Gone

The wind is blowing the grass around the coops gently, the Quonset door is open, there is a set of Bocce balls on the lawn, abandoned, we don’t have enough people to play, there is a grasshopper habitat all set up under the tree and I have an incredible amount of counter space.  I could [...]

Happiness is..

Picture two little naked cartoon people at my farm.  SO the moving sucked, it really is a big job for a family of five to move all of their stuff, especially when three of them can’t really do any good helping, but are marvelous at getting in the way,  and the other grown up is [...]
