So I’ve been trying to work with Beautiful horse more since I’ve been pretty negligent over the past year. Yes, it’s been over 1 year since we brought these horses home and I’m not even riding! My feeling is, as picturesque as they are running around the pasture, if they don’t do more [...]

It’s the night before Halloween. I was just finishing up Jett’s scary vision: black blob covered in vines and leaves ala ghillie suit. He calls it the Leaf Slasher. Very Scooby-doo. Only one problem, he’s possibly allergic to the ivy. Who knew you could be? Apparently not me. I mean [...]

This weekend was spent picking pecks of proliferating pecans peppering our property. This will be an ongoing activity through the end of the year…fair warning, you will be hearing much more about this subject. Jett and I have also been sanding gourds. He has big plans for these gourds involving real tools, [...]

It’s been a while since the last post. A lot has been going on and I’m having a hard time keeping up not only doing what needs to be done, but writing about what needs to be done. I think it’s a bit of a case of denial or maybe just simply avoidance. [...]

It was rodeo time again. Jett thinks the bucking bulls and the rodeo clown are the coolest. I love the barrel racing. I can do without the calf roping which is basically a big man accosting a cute baby cow, body slamming it to the ground and hog-tying it. Yeah, real [...]

Today we went to Thomasville for school orientation. I think I’ve finally decided on the small school in Moultrie. I just feel more comfortable with the environment and the teachers. Plus it’s closer and we have friends nearby if we need any help. So, I’ve made my decision. Unless I [...]

We started our weekend early. Seeing it’s summer and all. Jett had a sleepover Thursday night. I always enjoy having extra kids over. There’s always lots of noise and activity and many rules are lifted…for a limited time. Although they spend much time playing indoors since it’s so incredibly hot [...]

This is the first summer that I haven’t been working and Jett has not been in school or daycare. I was a little worried that Jett and I would drive each other crazy so I’ve been trying to keep our summer days busy.
Jett’s been taking swimming lesson. As much time as we spent [...]
