For those of you who have been acquainted with me for years, you know that I am closely tied into the Maple Industry. The Morning Ag Clips has worked alongside the Maple News for years, helping with advertising and social media promotion. Through the years, we have picked up other maple clients along the way, which has been nice because sugaring season is a time of year that…
What a week…I went back to what I know, to ground and remember. The earth is moving under our feet, but I promise, it will all settle out. Just remember who you are and where you come from. Nice to meet you… 🙂 With Love, Kate…
I remember when Tyler turned 1-year-old … we all got the flu. I know exactly when it hit; I was doing calf chores one morning, the snow was swirling, and my mother-in-law was inside taking care of the baby due to the weather conditions (ordinarily he was on my back). The buckets got heavier with each trip out to the hutches from the barn. Leaning on the stainless…
Shouldn’t this be what winter is all about? Walking hand in hand with someone in the snow. I loved this picture when I saw it years ago in a consignment store that I frequent often. Now, it hangs in my home during the winter, reminding me that it’s not all about hibernation and cold. Rather, it can be about slowing down and taking in the gray and cold…
Happy New Year! It’s 2020 and JMK is moving to a new day….Monday! You get to start the week with me. 🙂 Today I had the pleasure of attending the New York State Ag Society Annual Meeting in Syracuse, New York. These great guys spoke to us about their social media journey and shared a couple of their wildly successful videos. I thought that I would share this…
Christmas Shopping. I went today. And I will go tomorrow. I hate it. There is only so much that Amazon can do. Sometimes you just have to dive head first into the trenches and go to battle. The thing about going today, December 19th, is that you become part of a club … The Christmas Shopping Procrastination Club. The women who are out there today are like me: …
Last Friday while all of you were reading about Hallmark movies, I was late. It doesn’t happen very often, but when I am it usually means that I am in for a doozy. I had a meeting in Bennington, 45 minutes from home. 10 minutes after I was supposed to be there I pulled into the parking lot. Not terrible, but very uncomfortable for me. I am usually right…
Dear Hallmark, I just want to thank you for being such a dear friend during the holiday season. You make my life so very “Merry and Bright”! When I was growing up you meant greeting cards and gift stores. But now, I hear your name, and I think of a cozy fire, warm socks and hot chocolate. Candy canes, mistletoe, and holly. You keep me company while…
I grew up in New Hampshire. I come from a very long line of people who settled in the granite state way back in the 1600s, hailing from the islands off the coast of England in the English Channel. People from New Hampshire take pride in their motto, Live Free or Die, as well as the fact that they are served frappes instead of milkshakes, and that jimmies (not sprinkles!) adorn the top of…
Wiping sweat from my brow means it’s a good day. To me there is nothing more therapeutic than sunshine (or rain), the movement of air through my hair and clothing, the sound of the trees rustling, and the music of the birds. I like to shovel, move animals, and pick things. When I step outside I can feel Mother Nature welcoming me into her world, beyond the confines…
