Yesterday afternoon a neighbor phoned, asking me if I had read the local paper for the day. I had not read or seen it, but I knew why he was phoning. Recently the Habitat for Humanity board I am a member of decided to send out press releases to local and regional newspapers, telling them about Project Gracious Parcels, a charity knitting project I started via my blog last fall. If you aren't familiar with Gracious Parcels, it is a project inviting knitters who read my blog to knit and donate seven-inch squares as pieces of blankets I put together...

I'm off caffeine. I'll just let that sink in for a minute ... I love coffee. I love English Breakfast, Earl Grey, and green teas. Along with loving the beverages, I love the fact and the act of having a cup of coffee with someone I love or with a good friend. Saturday and Sunday mornings, sipping coffee while chatting with my husband ... sweet. Late weekday mornings sipping coffee or tea with the readers of my blog ... very nice. However, for health and energy reasons I am off caffeine. The truth of the matter is, I feel much...

Thank you to all the readers who have checked out the new I Live on a Farm website. Today I posted some free Valentine eCards there ... in case you would like to take a look or send one.

I still feel the cold, but it doesn't make me tense up the way it did at first. I have had to, on...

New! Be sure to check out my new I Live on a Farm website! Zero degrees. Not complaining, just sayin' ... it's zero degrees. And this is a relatively warm winter. I told my husband last evening this has been a good "intro" winter for me. It has snowed pretty much every day for the past three and a half weeks and we have had some sub-zero weather but mostly the temperatures have been between zero and thirty-two. This week will be particularly cold and we might get quite a bit of snow today. I have had plenty of opportunuities...

I left you hanging on a cliff this past Monday in the story of the day, the moment really, when my husband and I first met face-to-face. It was my intention to write the next installment today, but the past couple of days I have been building a new website for my blog and expanded content. I'm tired, plum pooped and tired. Doing this much computer work for hours on end is hard on the back. Will you please forgive me if I postpone the rest of that story until Monday when I am rested and not so pressed for...
