Just couldn't resist this shot from the front porch lookin' towards the east this morning! So many morning as we (Megs, Molly, Paco and I) do our morning walk down our drive across Carter to Kreitzers and home through the field past Brian and Carolyn's little chunk of Paradise I think "I wish I had a camera", so this morning before our walk these images were captured by our little Kodak Easy Share. The silos are part of another farm, not ours, but they are beautiful standing tall reminding me and all of us to do the same as we serve our purpose here on earth in this special place in time. I'm hoping your silos have been filled and soon emptied and refilled once again as you share all of your special gifts and talents with those in your world.

"We know our friends by their troubles not by their merits"

W. Somerset Maugham

Smilin' for the camera

Megs, Oh Megs . . . you made your way into our hearts first and by golly now you're in the house! "The Puller" loves to make her smile! What a hoot you are! We looove you Meggie

The Tundra

December and the snowy days are here at 'The Land of Kem'. Of course "The Puller" was careful to inform me early on that it really wasn't snow at all you know. Here on THIS farm (Paradise as it is affectionately known by some) it's sugar. Just have to love the man. Well, this month we had lots of it. Life just couldn't be any sweeter so why not? If you say it's sugar, sugar it is Puller!

A Time to Focus

It happens to all of us . . . a dark time. Remember "All things can work for the good for those who love the Lord and are called according to His purpose".

The verse hinges on "can". Be open, open your heart and allow Him to show you the stars . . . when you 'see' them the darkness suddenly becomes illuminated. For where there is light there can no longer be darkness.

"The night is the time to see the stars"

Blessings your way

Christmas Greetings

We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year!

Twas the night before Christmas at 'The Land of Kem'

And all the stockings were hung by the chimney with care in all the grandchildren's hopes that Saint Nicholas would soon be there . .

Sweet Megs

Meg's has a habit of lookin' in at us from the picture window while perched on the wicker settee. I wish they could all live inside with us to share hugs and cuddles. Heaven knows we have enough love in this house to go around!

If the crown fits, wear it!

Peggy Sue, Peggy Sue don't you know my heart is true

On the other side of the lense is our eldest child Tami. Tami captured this shot of 'my gal' and me on a late Saturday afternoon this fall. I think we'll title it 'The blondes'! What da ya think??
