Blog 365- 1/1/23

-

 As I was reading some of the blogs that I follow today, I came upon a challenge that I find will certainly bring some fun and maybe new friends into my blog world. I would love to see this community grow and prosper here as it has in the past. Sandra at Diary of a Stay at Home Mom has suggested a Blog 365 and I have anxiously and excitedly decided to join in. 

Blog 365 will be a group of bloggers that decide to post something daily on our blogs. A photo, a post, a tip, or even just a quick inspiration will all make this community grow. I hope many more of you will hop over to her post and join as well. Let's make 2023 the year that our community grows! Let's make new friends and share some positive words and encouragement along the way.


My post for this is going to be to encourage everyone to be a little kinder and more respectful of each other. Let's be sure to share in others' grief and allow them to know that we care. So many of us get caught up in our daily lives and we seem to forget that others have problems that are worse than ours. Maybe that grumpy customer in line in front of us has struggled with an inconsolable toddler today or lost a loved one or has struggled without being able to feed their children. Smile and say HI might just change their entire day.


BE KIND!!!!!!

    I love the last quote. And your background and header are beautiful! Will you be changing them daily as well?

    Wonderful quote! There's a big painting/banner in one of the preschool classrooms where I work that says Kindness matters. Reading your post made me think of that. Happy New Year!

A Grandson

 As I was looking through my posts today, I see that I have failed my readers. Many of you were aware that my other daughter was pregnant and going to deliver in July, I am sure those of you that knew are wondering why I never posted about that and I must say that life has just gotten in the way, and I thought that I had written a post. Since I know I did not, I will now! He came when Mamaw was out of town! Can you believe that? He actually had the nerve to do something so ridiculous as to come while I was at the Pink Zebra reunion (our annual conference). I was with four of my best friends when we got the announcement that he was here! I was so happy that I was able to share that news with them before anyone else. Of course, the leaders of the company were there and anxious to hear how she was doing as well.  Deliver went fairly smooth, but she was in labor for quite a while. I am not sure on hours, but I think about 6 hours. There were some issues with my daughter following delivery

Something is Falling From The Sky

 Yesterday and today have been very cool days here on the farm and I must say that something that we don't recognize has been falling from the sky. It is wet and seems to be hanging around. IT is certainly what the ground needed as it seems to have soaked it up almost immediately. Rain, glorious rain!! The ducks are loving their pool and the rain, but I truly don't think that they are liking the cooler temperatures so much. I know I am not. I don't mind cool, but wearing my sweatshirt in June is not fun.  The white turkeys are enjoying the coop that my husband put together for them. We have 5 of them and two others. We won't be keeping all of the toms as we have too many.  Nesting boxes made of milk crates that we had lying around work well attached to the back wall.  Here is Tom. He is such a great boy, but he likes to show off. He gets along well with the chickens.  These are my Old English chickens. I like them as they are small and will never get much bigger. I actu

Happy Homemaker Monday - 1/8/24

 Hello! Welcome to my first Happy Homemaker Monday post for 2024. I am happy to join Sandra at  Diary of A Stay At Home Mom  to participate in this series. How has everyone's Monday morning been so far? Mine is slow as most Mondays, but I will be busy later. I really need to work on my direct sales business and get my inventory done for the year. Taxes will be soon and I need that information.  The Weather: The weather is predicted to be a little unsettled this week with periods of rain and snow throughout the week. Daytime highs in the 30's and 40's, which is a bit above average with lows in the upper 20's and lower 30's. Not too bad for this time of the year. I hate the rain as it just makes the farm a muddy, sloppy mess.  Right Now I Am: Sitting at my desk listening to the news and writing this post. My daughter just came over for coffee and to chat a bit.  Thinking and Pondering: What I will get accomplished this week and where I want to start for chores. I am t
