    Yeah, About Yesterday’s Post

    My cough has turned into a head cold, and after talking on the phone for awhile this afternoon I think that it is best if I take today to rest and hopefully get over the brunt of the cold. I will be back online Thursday and we will kick it off with gold shows and a few bonus ones for good measure. I will also be doing the weekly 1 hour cam show Thursday at 11p EST and would love to see you there to catch up and reconnect.

    A Very Special Day (June 10)

    In my #newbeginnings I have allowed myself to slip on my birthday posts and encouragement of celebrations of each one. I am slowly adding the important dates back into my calendar book so that I will not miss another one… This one was not missed, but I did not make the time to dedicate a blog post to someone who deserves more than just a tweet. So, forgive me for my lack of attention to this very special day, and join in wishing Molly a wonderful and very happy birthday month. She is a sweet lady, with a wicked sense of humor and a generous heart. She is always spreading…

    The Sharing Circle

    It has been awhile since we have had some interaction on this blog, and there are also some new joiners, along with my old time faithfuls. I would love for you to share something about yourself that we might not already know…  I will begin –> I have not decided if I like mushrooms yet, so I keep adding them to dishes and picking them out, one-by-one.  Also, I am currently reading book after book, while playing “word crossy”  and “toyblast” for fear my brain is getting too stagnant.

    Weekend Plans?

    Alright, let’s get a conversation going. What are your weekend plans? Mine are uncertain as of this minute (1230p my time, 330 EST). I might do some website work, or maybe clean the house. I will definitely be going to the grocery store, which is on my Saturday-to-do-list most weekends. I thought about perusing the antique shops, but I don’t want to buy anything new right now, so why go? I also thought about taking the day to read, but I feel like I have had too many lazy moments lately. Or, should I film some videos? I will most likely be lazy in the morning, until about 930a my…

    Plans For New Content

    I have not shot… scratch that… I have not created new content since I was in Mexico earlier this year and we have plans to spend a good part of this weekend doing videos, and a few picture sets. I am having fun with videos and new ideas, so I am looking forward to spending Friday night through Sunday morning doing just that!  I have a few ideas floating around in my head, but should probably do what I do best, and that is make a list so that I don’t forget. And, by list, I mean pen to paper, not on my phone.  I have had a lot of…

    Iris’ Living Wild

    Yesterday we, and by we I mean MtnMan, happened upon a cluster of Iris’ growing wild when he was mowing the front field. The wild growing iris’ are also known as the Rocky Mountain Iris and is listed as a noxious weed, but according to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower center, they are cultivated and sold in stores in wildflower packs, and bulb sets. They can be invasive if not divided and maintained through the seasons, especially in damp climates, but also thrive in the dry climates, especially around groves and creeks.  After much consideration, and some research, I (and by that I mean MtnMan) will be digging them up…

    Hello June!

    Wow! We are halfway through 2018 and it has been an amazing roller coaster of a year so far. From moving, several times, to experiencing my first winter in the high desert, to back and forth trips to Texas, it has been chaotic at times, but also refreshing.  My first winter was mild, and perfect for me. It snowed, but did not get below zero except for a few hours here and there, and not for days on end. The snowfall was not at all what is needed for this area, but the spring has been unusually wet with decent rain storms. I love rain and that is something that…

    Book Shelf

    Goodness, you guys have really have restocked my bookshelves. I have enough books to keep me reading for a few months, thank you!  Nick, I just received another book from you, and I just now realized I never “officially” thanked you for the first one! I look forward to reading them both, but the one I just picked up will be my next read. It is one that Dwwindsor suggested regarding WWII and a downed civilian airplane. I am currently reading a book on loan that was written by a survivor of Bastogne, and will probably be finished with that this weekend.
