What is that I feel in the air?  Could it be?  Surely not… Moi?  Feeling … Christmas-y??  I hope it isn’t just a 24-hour bug or something.  I mean, what if the Grinch’s heart really does grow 3 times its … Continue reading →

Posted on July 4, 2016 by Marla Rose

Because everyone spends a holiday washing coon $hit off their overhead shed doors, right? Note: after raccoons terrorize the shed like drunken pirates, they will need to rest. Especially if they have gorged themselves on cat food and cattle feed. … Continue reading →

New Year, New Me?

Posted on January 1, 2016 by Marla Rose

The other day Pig-farmer asked me if I had made my resolutions.  At that time, I was delighting in post-Christmas quiet while pouring myself a mug of coffee.  I gave him my very best, scariest, don’t-mess-with-me look.  What the heck? I mean, … Continue reading →

Photo Monday

Posted on January 5, 2015 by Marla Rose

With the holidaze I haven’t hardly been able to keep track of what day it is.  Church yesterday morning and the return of Downton Abbey last night may help me get back on track.  While vegging on the couch, listening … Continue reading →

Crisp, Cold & …. Complacent?

Posted on December 31, 2014 by Marla Rose

After too many dreary, rainy, cloudy, raw-feeling days, the sun is shining brightly today.  “Out!” I said to the animals.  “Out you go!!”  Yesterday, we opened their gates as the muddy, soft ground was starting to freeze up, making a … Continue reading →

Tis the Season to Be Behind!

Posted on December 23, 2014 by Marla Rose

Family that are friends (my favorite type of family). Friends that are family. Clowning with my boys. A little respect for a former co-student that went pro. Throw a college graduation in the weekend before Christmas … and, well, I … Continue reading →

Photo Friday, Update and Christmas Prep

Posted on December 12, 2014 by Marla Rose

The sore trapezius (muscle between shoulder/neck) persists, but I think is slowly, oh-so-slowly, getting better.  I’ve avoided much typing and limited time on the computer.  I think that aggravates it.  Texting, too.  Posture, posture, posture! Pig-farmer has been gone most of … Continue reading →
