Figuring It Out

January 26, 2020

‘Tis the season of “figuring it out” for high school seniors and college graduates.  That pressure to find a place to land for the next little bit of their lives (or “the rest” of their lives from the college graduate perspective) brings on so much pressure.   I will say, that compared to when I was in that stage of life, I do feel that today we are a…

Wave Your Magic Wand

January 12, 2020

Happy Monday!  Here’s to a new spot for me, Kate.   I hope it works for you, it definitely is going to work out better for my schedule.  No more mad dashes to the finish line late Thursday night. 🙂 I wanted to share a great question that was posed to a panel of ag industry leaders on Thursday, at the New York State Agricultural Society Annual Meeting.  It…

2020: We Have Fire

January 2, 2020

Our Happy New Year rang in with a fire in our fireplace.  At last, we have fire! I grew up snuggled around one on Sunday afternoons.  Lying on the floor in front of a fire with the bottoms of my feet towards the heat was always the set up for a perfect nap! Our new house, which isn’t so new anymore, came with two old fireplaces.  Both were…

I am thankful

November 26, 2019

I am thankful.. The christmas tree that flew out of the back of a truck on the Northway yesterday didn’t hurt anyone. Whose tree was it?  (Hmmmmm…) Maybe it was the Morning Ag Clips tree?  I don’t know. Stephanie, do you know whose tree that was??? And the funny part about it was that the tree was only 1/10 of a mile away from the exit.  It was…

What Happened to Sunday?

October 17, 2019

Kate will be back next week! In the meantime, enjoy this well-received letter from our archives. May you all have a wonderful Sunday! Dear Sunday, What happened to you? Did you get fired? Are you ill? It’s been awhile since I have seen your quiet old self hanging around, and I miss you. Since you’ve been gone, and I guess I can’t say for sure when you actually left,…

It’s time for a dump…

September 26, 2019

Brain dump that is. “Your head’s for having ideas, not for holding them.”  –David Allen With our new business adventure, I have to admit I have felt, at times, overwhelmed this past month. We are almost 4 weeks down this new road, and the troops and I are on this learning curve that is steep!   The fearless leader has had to be on her game every step of…

I Feel Fall…

September 19, 2019

It’s on the brink … pushing out the waning summer sun. Mesmerizing me like a trance, it beckons me outside.  Quietly I slip out, burners off, things on hold– for just a bit while I indulge. Carried by the wind I hear the geese calling in the distance, their tireless voices ushering in the change of the season.  It’s here. There is a golden haze beginning to hover…

Positive Thinking Day

September 12, 2019

Today is Positive Thinking Day. Yes, there seems to be a day for everything now. I personally love National Donut Day, Chocolate Day, and Ice Cream Day … as I am always looking for an excuse to indulge. But I even like the designated days that don’t revolve around food. Like a great quote, I use them as a gentle reminder.   Positive Thinking Day. A reminder. Something to ponder. First…
