I actually sat down and read over the infamous Obama Health care plan recently, though I have to admit that I skimmed over much of it. I could and might go back and read some more of it. I felt that as a former health care worker, it was something that I had to do [...]
We have nine cute little black chicks that momma hen hatched last Thursday. Being Dominiques, they are black instead of yellow, but they do have a little tuft of yellow hair on the top of their heads. It is such a wonderful and amazing thing to witness a mother hen diligently sit upon her eggs [...]
Today we worked outside planting lettuce, fertilizing the roses and fruit trees, and treating the yard with a natural fertilizer from Gardens Alive. We also turned the soil over in the garden beds and I applied an organic fertilizer that was derived from poultry manure, bloodmeal, and potash. I need to get some lime as [...]

I started to write a flowery commentary about the results of this election, but I just didn’t have the heart. The truth is, I am disappointed. Terribly.

The seasons change, and so do those to-do lists, when you live in the country. Always there is something outside to do! And this brings me to my first point [...]

It is a strange thing indeed to see conservative evangelical Christians aligning themselves with the liberal media and leftist hacks. I never thought I would see the day.
Oh I understand all the arguments and vote-your-conscience pleas, but what I do not understand is the arrogance, judgmentalism, anger and self-righteous tongue-wagging that I have witnessed in [...]
To borrow words from Barack Obama, who borrowed words from Martin Luther King, I tell you that I write this blogpost because of “the fierce urgency of now.” I know only a handful of people will ever read this, but I feel the burden so great that I cannot help but write. And I apologize [...]
