Hello Reader, Well I always struggle with decorating for Valentine's Day because--- when I undecorate for Christmas, I usually leave my snowman stuff out a little bit longer. And then I start wanting to get out the Valentine stuff..... and usually what happens is there are snowmen and hearts everywhere!If I had thought about it, a long time ago I should've made my snowmen and Valentine's color coordinate, so it would look better--- like maybe a pastel aqua blue and light pink theme for both...

Hello Reader, Like a lot of you-- we have a lot of snow! I like it. I like how quiet it is outside when it snows (there's a scientific reason but I don't remember how to describe it). I like how bright it is when the whiteness comes into my house windows. Do I like driving in snow? Sure-- as long as it's not ice. I even like sweater weather and scarves and bundling up. It's a good thing-- because our house is cold and so I bundle up whether I'm in or out. : ) If you lost power, then I hope it...

Hello Reader, Well, the New Year is off to its start already! Has it been a great start for you? It has been a good start for me, because just at the end of 2025 I videoed our 4th Year at Century Farms! and realized what all we had accomplished last year--- it was a lot! Some of it were "little" things that make a big impact when added all together. And.... it's starting to look like we might really get a new porch soon! The posts and railings are in poor condition, and I'm looking forward to...

Hello Reader, Well here we are-- right into the first week of December already. I'm still eating leftover pie from Thanksgiving. And still treating our dog for an ear infection she has had for 3 months... I'm so tired of it and ready for her to get better! Biweekly vet visits aren't easy on the wallet! Did you get any good deals on Black Friday/ Cyber Monday? I was ready for a new mattress, so I waited until Black Friday sales--- and ordered before Thanksgiving.... and it arrived Monday.So...

Hello Reader, Do you start to decorate for Christmas at the beginning of November, or do you wait for after Thanksgiving? Since I had to get my tree all photographed for you, I had to do it rather early.... so I put fall in my kitchen while Christmas was in my dining room! So that's an idea for you! Oh, and speaking of Christmas, those #kingofChristmas ornaments that I used? Do you realize what a good deal it is to get a set of 15 glass ornaments for just $99? At any ornament store, good...
