Harvesting with GrandMim







GrandMim and Una took care of the green onion harvest singlehandedly!





2 Girls and their Bears







The "bobs" have spent a fair amount of time recently eyeing the pine trees on the fenceline to the South. They are rather convinced that there is a troll's cave at the base of the largest of the pines...Papa made them all the more sure of it when he came running from that direction and breathlessly disclosed that he had distinctly heard the sound of...snoring....troll snoring coming from that vicinity.....













Una's Canoe Shire Horse







This is what happens when you say: "SMILE!"

Staying in the Moment








One minute your little girls are playing in their bananna box fort at home, as you pack for the move...






the next you are at confession, and your Una tries to dip her fingers in the marble holy water font....





and it crushes her skull.

2 fractures and a hematoma on the membranes above the brain later you realize you've learned one very expensive lesson:


Savor those little minutes. Each and every one. Live in them, and don't rush them by trying to bring on the next better thing. Each moment IS the better thing.
