Sure!

Wow, great story! Ariana might feel a little sad reading about the injustice and cruelty, but then again she may really appreciate her blessings a little more. Tell me it's not a devastatingly sad ending

Wow, what a full report! So glad things are going well. I was worried for those baby bunnies that they'd get out and be eaten. We are SO ready to be home. Hard to be a homesteader when you're traveling

Welcome to the 15 passenger van club :) oh hey, we might have a new transmission you can buy...

So glad you found some garden goodies to enjoy! I love those Patty pan squash. Hope they keep going strong while we are away. Thanks so much for your help :)

Congratulations Matt! That's quite an accomplishment. When I have my house built and we are moved in, I would love to set up an easel and learn from your mastery :)

Nice! Are those rocks from the creek? They don't look as varying in color as I would expect by nature. I definitely like the look of it.

Thoughtful musings...we will be returning after two weeks away and I almost feel like I could make over my life when I get home, like a reboot. Good idea to be realistic in my expectations before I get

I'm not a teacher, but that's good advice for parents of multiple children as well!

Thanks so much! So glad our animals are in the many good hands of your family :) Couldn't do a trip like this otherwise.

Ah we were looking for that one! You'll have to let @bluerthangreen know where it is at.

That is difficult for me too...kids wild or messy or not listening...or fighting. The question is, what should be the attitude or action points when these things occur? I think that will help as these

I'll definitely try this. Sounds amazing!

I concur! I had one on my last baby and it definitely helps. The drooling is almost non-existent. And surprisingly, he didn't chew on the necklace either.

Great idea! Thanks for sharing. I'll try this out on my 3rd grader.

I can sympathize. We recently had the pleasure of trying to load a full grown male and female and four large males on a horse trailer. Tried the shoots, food, food and more food, trash can lids to redirect.

Yikes! That really stinks.... literally. Been there though. Do you have it all fixed?. We are planning our visit around our family gathering. Not sure when that is.

Thanks for sharing! We have a bunch of Muscovy ducklings being hatched out. Ducks are so great about being broody. It's been wonderful watching ours grow. Right now we have them in a large rubbermade tote

Could be worse things to come home to. For instance, say, a broken water pipe or some such thing ;). Hoping to help Mom on her landscaping when we come up. It can be overwhelming when the yard is overrun

Great read! The words and rhythm are perfect! Also, I really enjoy it when the title adds the final cap to the piece.
