Good Morning! Happy New Year! From my family to yours š This is what I am thinking about today:Ā Responsibility.Ā Specifically, how it is going to carry us through the new year. I am going to go back to New Years Day when a friend of mine brought to my attention an observation that they made.Ā I was very calm, allowing my 16-year-old to chauffeur my 12 and 19-year-old…
Happy Holidays!!! Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah! I am writing to you to wish you and your family a happy “holiday season.” As much as it is fun, it is also full of stress. š Really, it wouldnāt be the holidays if it didnāt have its challenges. As I sit here on this 23rd day of December, an hour after my last Christmas present was purchased, I…
A week ago my middle sister sent me a text, āWho thought it would be a good idea to do picture books for Christmas??ā Yup, here we are, AGAIN…December 12th and I still do not have them done, not even started! With every picture that comes into my phone, I feel reminded.Ā And with every tick of the clock, I wonder how the heck am I ever going…
Itās the little things that give me the energy to get through every day. I am so thankful for them. I thought I would honor those this Thanksgiving. It seems that the big things always get the attention. I am grateful for the big things like my kids, family, friends, and health. I recognize that what keeps me happy in my day-to-day life are these little joys that…
Finally! After taking a year hiatus due to Covid, the areaās largest Tractor Parade, coming from downtown Greenwich, took place Saturday night, and I daresay it was the best tractor parade yet! The floats just keep getting better and better. Even Barbie made an appearance in a fancy pink tractor–she is quite a farmer! But beyond that, itās a great night of the year to live in the…
I choose to go to the mountain..even in the rain. Equinox is my mountain for feeling alive when things get dark in the fall. It seems to be where I go when I am working through some things and need to get charged back up. Ā The trail that climbs to the top usually reflects the struggle that I might be fighting through inside.Ā Steadily steep, there are no…
Every fall nostalgia kicks in.Ā Maybe it’s the natural ebb and flow of life, things start to die back this time of year and bodies go into hibernation.Ā For whatever reason though, I pull back the cobwebs that have been in the back of my mind, and in the cleaning process, it triggers this sense of needing to feel close to my roots, my home, and where I…

My goal, OUR goal is to give you what is most useful in your busy life, however, it may pertain to agriculture. With so many things coming at you in a sea of information, we certainly donāt want you…
I like this quote because it puts a fire in my gut to be a self-starter. It’s a reminder that you can’t sit back and take it; you have to thwart off the evil in this world and fight back with love!! ;-). No cowering in your bed kids! Get up and push forward!…
Running. Seems like all I do these days is run. Run to this, run to that. Run here, run there. You are probably thinking that this ārunningā struggle is about running after the kids and chasing all of the activities they have going on.Ā Or running after my work, trying to keep pace with so many moving parts. Nope. Wrong. Those are the easy runs it seems. My…
