Well… M ended up being discharged from the hospital twice in 24 hours, but it looks like he is really home this time. M was discharged Saturday about noon from our local hospital’s inpatient children’s unit (it’s a satellite of our main Children’s Hospital). He had been doing well that morning, and it seemed like he was getting back to [...]

A quick update… M was readmitted into the hospital Wednesday, and we are still there now. He’s been having stomach problems since his surgery, and got much sicker Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, so I took him into the ER. At first they didn’t seem too concerned, but then took an x-ray and found an impacted bowel. They [...]

…. I read the weather forecast for today. I’ve (temporarily) given up reading the news online, and I never watch the news on TV, but I’d heard there might be a storm coming in and thought I’d better pay attention just in case it was a big one. Elbert/Central And East Douglas Counties Above 6000 Feet Winter Storm [...]
FOR TODAY March 22, 2010 Outside my window… the sun is bright and warm, the remains of last week’s snow is almost completely melted away, and tiny shoots of green grass are starting to grow. I am thinking… how irritated I am at my bank for charging me for a service I specifically told them [...]

Leigh, from 5 Acres and a Dream recently introduced herself here and I’ve LOVED finding her blog and reading through it. She talks about about her new homesteading life, remodeling their old (but new to them) house, gardening, fiber arts, chicken raising etc. Her house even came with pink carpeting! (Just like mine…) But, unlike me, she [...]

7 Quick Takes ~1~ A spring snow is bringing some much needed moisture today. We are supposed to get 6-12″ of snow, but I don’t think it’s going to make it. That much snow would be nice though… the pastures are very dry. ~2~ M is sick again (still…) so I am staying home [...]

Happy St Patrick’s Day! I thought this might be a good day to blog about a little project I just finished (or almost finished!), since it involves some beautiful handwoven wool tweed from Ireland. Many of my ancestors are from Ireland, and learning about and respecting our Irish heritage was a big part of my childhood. I [...]
FOR TODAY March 15, 2010 Outside my window… it looks cold and gray. There is an inch or two of snow on the ground, and it’s still snowing lightly. I am thinking… a lot about forgiveness lately… and, for me, how it seems to be as much a journey as a destination sometimes. I am [...]

Today was Lili the chicken’s big lay… I mean day! Yep, she finally laid her first egg… The first of many, I’m hoping. It’s just a little egg, because Lili is a banty hen… but R’s already put dibs on it for breakfast tomorrow! Now to get a few more chickens so we don’t have [...]

Hmm… Friday already… it looks like another week has gotten away from me. Today was a good day for, and with, M. He didn’t throw up once and was able to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner! The exclamation mark at the end of that sentence gives some idea as to how rare that is lately. [...]
