Happy Valentine’s Day! These are my 3 little Valentine’s, from many years ago. š During my freshman year in college, I had to take a writing seminar. The assignment was a poem about love. I pulled it out and dusted it off. This can work for love or anything that is in your life that you are striving for or waiting on. Here you go! š Patiently I…
“Catherine, why have we never heard you play the piano?” Piano playing has always been a great hobby of mine. Sitting down to play is relaxing and challenging all at the same time. It oddly serves as a connection with my family too. However, playing the piano is not something that I easily share with others. And this is why … I was in the 5th grade. When…
Editorās note: Click here to view the video. Itās definitely January here in the northeast. I think that we might have seen the sun for about 2 hours last week. I don’t think at all the week before. Blah, blah, blah… Here’s a video for you this week :-). Happy Monday my friends, days are getting longer, we’ll be planting corn in no time! Don’t forget to take…
So much … really. The word “fruition” has been hanging in the office over the past few months, yet nobody has claimed it yet. It first came to our attention through Stephanie. It was at a brainstorming session to name the communications services arm of the Morning Ag Clips. We still don’t have a name yet (getting close), but we certainly know what it will not be. Stephanie loved…
Looking ahead ā¦ I see opportunities. Are you going to be ready for them? As I was putting the finishing touches on the first batch of buckeyes last night, I couldnāt help but think about the year coming up and what it was going to look like for me ā and what I want it to look like. I donāt want to rush you, but have you started…
āTis the season of the fireplaceā¦ fall. Or for me, the season of the un-fireplace. My brick person decided to skip town and left the job un-working and un-finished. Hence, the reason for the un-enjoyment of our fireplace this year. Yesterday I made the decision to cut my losses and forget about it. After 6 months of haphazardly chasing it (when I remembered to) I figured I would just be done worrying…
This morning, Tyler and his friends had their senior pictures done ā¦ I couldnāt help but think to myself, āHow did we get here?ā Just yesterday you were 6 and running around with your red grease rag hanging out of the back pocket of your denim overalls. Chasing after your dad, you were his little shadow on the farm. I sent the three of you off to school…
Today is ā¦ ā¦ a chance to be better than yesterday. ā¦ laughing and being forced to take a deeper look to find a silver lining. ā¦ a trip to the bank, giving the dog her cookie, and taking a walk. ā¦ the smell of fresh cut hay on a summer evening. ā¦ sunshine on my face and an overdue breeze finding my sweaty back. ā¦ a look…
I wrote this many years ago. I have shared this with you before, but because I had so many comments of camaraderie and because I think that many of you can relateāI decided to re-publish this week. Coming out from underneath the cloak of winter ā¦ well, it can be a tough transition. I want you all to know I am here for you and I can…
If only I had known ā¦ that today was going to be the last day of what I knew as ānormal.ā That I could possibly have made my last phone call to order my Corliss wrap, with melba in and melba out, from the Village Cafe across the street. That it would be the last hug, or the last friendly smile at the grocery store. When I walked out…
