Animals and energy healing
Monday, February 20, 2017 Over the past few months, I have become certified in Reiki after my initial studies of this healing method back in 1999. Some people think it’s “woo-woo”, but I happen to believe it works. When I’ve used my alternate … Continued
Memories of Africa
Friday, February 17, 2017 Eight years ago this month, we were getting packed for a trip to Africa. Having a son who works in US Embassies around the world does open up some unusual travel opportunities! I happened to find the SD card with … Continued
Everlasting winter
Thursday, February 16, 2017 I spent most of the day in Salt Lake City yesterday and what a different world that is. It’s only an hour away but looks like a totally different climate. I didn’t see any snow at all! Our driveway is still lined … Continued
Runnin’and jumpin’
Wednesday, February 15, 2017 The snow in the pastures has finally melted down enough that the alpacas have reclaimed their turf. OMG what fun they had out there! I know we’ll have more snow that will slow down the movement here again, but for now … Continued
Valentine’s day thoughts
Tuesday, February 14, 2017 It’s Valentine’s Day! Sometimes I think Valentine’s Day is hard for a lot of people if they’re not in a good loving relationship at the time. Even the pressure for kids in school can be overwhelming. Please … Continued
Redwing Black birds are singing again. :)
Monday, February 13, 2017 The thermometer reads a single 1 degree this morning. But somehow it doesn’t seem as frigid as early winter. Perhaps that the daylight comes sooner and stays with us later makes it more tolerable. The sun will be bright today and I … Continued

See you tomorrow!
Friday, February 10, 2017 It’s raining as I type, but the forecast looks OK for our event tomorrow! Maybe we’ll add a little fresh snow tonight to keep it looking pretty. ❄️ Shortly after we moved to Woodland, in 2004 we had … Continued
It’s melting!
Thursday, February 9, 2017 More melting! Yesterday I even saw a little of the driveway appear. The pastures still have feet of snow on them, but the foot paths are looking hopeful. Two more batches of soap are ready for Yaya’s Yarn Barn – … Continued
February 8, 2017
Wednesday, February 8, 2017 The snow continues to melt, but most activity is still confined to the small areas that have seen the most animal traffic. It’s too heavy to shovel, so we’ll just wait it out. I do see some of … Continued
the morning routine
Tuesday, February 7, 2017 Our morning routine revolves around the house dogs. While coffee is brewing, Jack the labradoodle goes outside to get the newspapers. The other 3 dogs wait patiently (while drooling) for him to come in because they know … Continued
Super Bowl?
Sunday, February 5, 2017 If you’re into the Super Bowl today I hope your team wins! I need to figure out why the main barn cam isn’t working. I have a feeling that one of the transformers was “fried” when snow melted all around it so I … Continued
