Popcorn on the hearth.
9 pm at Windy Ridge
Levi took the girls fishing as promised. I decided that I am not quite ready to put my queasy self on a rocking boat so I sent Riley with my camera. This ancient looking fellow wasn’t quite big enough to keep so they let him go. PS-in this photo you can see Shanda’s glorious red hair
He did it! Levi managed to take my odd collection of antique stair parts and make them into a beautiful staircase. I was a little worried that the new banister wouldn’t match, but with a little walnut stain it looks perfect. At one time the carved newel posts had finials, so if you ever happen […]
I know I have mentioned the noble steed in previous posts, but she deserves her very own post, don’t you think? It all started when Levi carelessly mentioned that someday he would like a donkey. Two years ago I surprised him with Emili for Christmas, you can read about it here. I realized after seeing […]
Our nieces Marissa & Shanda and their friend Ashley. Aren’t they darling? I was a bit reluctant to use the sepia action because you can’t see Shanda’s glorious red hair. Just know that it is wonderful. These young girls make me feel old and frumpy. That’s it, I vow to go get my hair done within […]
My nieces from South Carolina are coming to visit Windy Ridge tomorrow. This means I should wipe the jam of the children’s faces and dress them up in something other than diapers and undies. This means that I will need to have a sit down with the family and sternly lecture them on acting civilized. This means I […]

I am optimistic that a year or two from now we will be all unpacked and settled in. Good grief. It doesn’t help that the bean is still slowing me down. I am so much better, but still not 100%. Maybe like 50%. I am at that stage of good days and bad days. On a […]
My 5 year old son, Wyatt, is a brilliant artist. This drawing here depicts his mother (that would be me). It truly is an amazing likeness. Especially the hair. And the round belly with the baby. We are moved into the main house! Today I even have internet in the office. Now if I can just climb out […]
Each morning Simon plants himself on the front patio and keeps watch over Windy Ridge. He just sits for hours and watches. In the distance you can see the noble steed grazing the north field. Technically you probably couldn’t call our female donkey a steed, but everytime I see her scratching her butt on the chicken coop I can’t […]
