Everyday

You You You

The morning was morning and the snow was snowing. Drifts were drifting and the wind was blowing. Coats were coating, gloves were gloving. Boots were bootin and loves were loving. And he, he was he-ingAnd she, she was she-ing And they, they were they-ing And I... was me-ing. But you you you, you were you-ing.Like you you you, you love doing.And you you you, you were you-ing like you do. I just love it when you you. -Okee Dokee Brothers

Organizing Digital Photos

As I step into 2019, I have never been more motivated to declutter and organize my digital photos and data storage! If you are anything like me, you have 1,000's of pictures piled up on external hard-drives, clouds, cameras, phones, and computers. Hundreds of videos are often stored but never played again. Files that were scanned and labeled "important" are forever floating in a folder on a misplaced external hard-drive. There is no denying it! My digital photos and process…

Cabin in the Woods

This year my parent's built the grandkids a cabin in the woods. They believe every kid needs a place for outdoor adventure, slumber parties, and bonfires under the stars. This is the kind of people they are, thoughtful and generous and incredibly talented. Thanks for this forever gift. I hope this next year brings countless cabin adventures. We are so grateful!

I will Go

I went up to the mountain. Because you asked me to. Up over the clouds. To where the sky was blue. I could see all around me. Everywhere. I could see all around me. Everywhere Sometimes I feel like I've never been nothing but tired. And I'll be walking. Till the day I expire. Sometimes I lay down. No more can I do. But then I go on again. Because you ask me to Some days I look down Afraid…

Better Together

I will not give up on us. I will not give up on us because we are better together. This is my vow to you! I will give you this, my love, and I will not bargain or barter any longer. I will love you, as sure as He has loved me. I will discover what I can discover and though you remain a mystery, save God’s own knowledge, what I disclose of you I will keep in the warmest…

Blue Sky

My birthplace will forever be, most dear to me. Twenty miles from the city, three miles from town. Where the sky was so blue and the earth so brown. Oh, I loved the sweet smell of the new mown hay, The sunrise and sunset of each Summer's day. The song of the birds and the flowers, so fair. And all the beauties of Nature everywhere. To pick the ripe berries, so luscious and sweet, That grew in the meadows, right…

Guide Me

As you look at the day before you, you see a twisted, complicated path, with branches going off in all directions. You wonder how you can possibly find your way through that maze. Then you remember the One who is with you always, holding you by your right hand. You recall My promise to guide you with My counsel, and you begin to relax. As you look again at the path ahead, you notice that a peaceful fog has settled…

Trust Without Borders

You call me out upon the waters. The great unknown where feet may fail. And there I find You in the mystery. In oceans deep My faith will stand. I will call upon Your name. And keep my eyes above the waves. When oceans rise my soul will rest in Your embrace. For I am Yours and You are mine. Your grace abounds in deepest waters. Your sovereign hand will be my guide. Where feet may fail and fear surrounds…

Ladybugs

Every spring we release nearly 35,000 ladybugs across our farm in an effort to keep our trees healthy and avoid unnecessary pesticides. These ladybugs, not to be confused with Asian Beetles, feed on Aphides and Spider Mites. By releasing a large number of ladybugs, we are reducing the risk of having any harmful bugs invade our fields because ladybugs eat the smaller bugs that cause damage to the trees. How do we get 35,000 ladybugs? The ladybugs arrive in the mail from…
