Ayden went to do her chores Sunday early afternoon and made an interesting discovery. She has a pen for her older ducks, which currently house Jeffery (...

She was at the cross when Jesus was crucified. She was the first person to see him when he rose from death....
Another blanket of snow covered our neighborhood. If you were thinking, you would have sprinkled weed and feed on the green grass. The hum of lawn mowers filled the air Friday night and Saturday before the storm. What a nice sound reminding us summer is on its way.

Better yet, plant a garden or a flower bed and use the cut grass...

I had my first report of field peas up and growing on the 17th of April. These early peas emerging were surprising given the cold temperatures of the soil...
