Scarlett shines again :)
Tuesday, October 4, 2016 There’s ice on the water this morning, but I see a little warming trend on the way. Just enough to make it pleasant outside but not enough to bring the flies back. Perfect! Today our grandson will be here helping me with the … Continued

Black Moon Friday
Friday, September 30, 2016 It’s a Black Moon tonight. If two new moons fall in one month the second is a black moon. It sounds rather mysterious but there actually won’t be anything in the sky to see. I think I’ll use Black Moon Friday as a … Continued
Green smoothie?

Thursday, September 22, 2016 It’s raining with snow in the forecast for tomorrow! Whooo-hooo! Seriously, our ground is parched so the moisture is welcome and the snow on Friday if it comes will make our awesome assortment of alpaca hats and gloves looks even more appealing … Continued
Taking a break
Wednesday, September 21, 2016 In the midst of my very busy week, there was a Yaya Day yesterday. It’really good for me to step outside of the Barn Days mindset and just be a grandma. 🙂 Of course, our big event is very important but not as important as … Continued
