I made two trips to Wal-Mart this weekend... once to get toilet paper and king size bed linens... the next time was to get king size bed linens that I had paid for and forgotten... and I blame it on a group of teenage boys... (the farmer and I are currently raising two teenage boys... Continue Reading →
puberty at 37
so I got suckered into getting braces... almost botox too... it all begin with my oldest son getting braces about a year ago and then every appointment I take him to I see these adds for 'invisible' braces... and I think... I'm here anyways, maybe I should 'tidy up the chiclets' ... so I... Continue Reading →
‘teddy bear’ sandwiches
I'm not sure the extent of it... but I feel like there might be a significant amount of lying going on... by the farmer... and it's spiralled into something he sees no way out of... for the meal to the field tonight I made coleslaw, honeydew melon and strawberries, steak sandwiches with onions, provolone and...

seeding meal #5
"oh we don't know the roads that we're heading down... we don't know if we're lost, that we'll find a way... we don't know if we leave, will we make it home... we don't know, there's hope, then we'll be okay" (the stumbellas) the haze from the forest fires near Fort McMurray, Alberta finally lifted...

seeding meal #3
this has been the hottest seeding on record... and by that I mean I have not kept any records and I actually don't know how warm it got today... nor do I know the history of how hot the temperatures in late April/early May traditionally have been... that statement was more of a 'hunch'... but...
