They chopped it down. Moving throughThat land between two riversIn stampedesOf angry growling machines-Hell bent on profitable purpose And a desire to burnThose softGreenblanketed hillsTurning the dirt over,Into the kind of green-which burned inside their pockets To them it was just a tree-A 100 year old oak,Firmly planted,In a 20 acre spreadBought and paid for-byContinue reading “Family Tree”

Baby Brain is real.
I have forgotten what it’s like to have such a small baby. My third child. A surprise son when I thought I was done. Cool, a rhyme. Like the baby books I now read all the time. I sit here trying to remember how to type. Trying to remember how to make the brain doContinue reading “Baby Brain is real.”
Late Bloomer
I am a late bloomer. Yes, I had kids when I was pretty young, and I’ve always been mature for my age, but I’m also a hesitant dreamer. I take years to make decisions. I have a hard time opening up to others and it’s taken me a really long time to feel comfortable inContinue reading “Late Bloomer”
Cemetery Girls
A few days before things got really crazy with total home lock down style quarantine, my sister and I went grave walking. This is our story…(dramatic duh duh!)

March Madness
I started to post a rant I’ve been working on, explaining all the reasons why I haven’t been blogging. Then I re-edited it and started to go off on another rant about how tired I am of having to excuse my existence or prove my worth in dollar signs while actually going on and onContinue reading “March Madness”
Cold Snap
I was really doing good, all thanks to me being on the upswing of my “issues”. I’ve been getting out of the house for a few hours at least two days a week, taking my medication and really keeping busy… Until this past week when a cold front hit. Aaaanndd…..SLUMP. There is nothing worse forContinue reading “Cold Snap”
When I Think About Spring I Think About Chickens
It’s January and I’m already thinking about spring. My seed catalogs are coming in the mail and I’m planning out where things will be planted as well as what kind of chickens I want and what I want to name them. Loretta Hen, a chicken for every member of the Fellowship of the Ring, orContinue reading “When I Think About Spring I Think About Chickens”
New Year, New Me, Sort Of…Not Really.
Be yourself; Everyone else is already taken. — Oscar Wilde. One of my new year’s resolutions was to start a blog. It’s not a very interesting beginning is it? It doesn’t pull you in the way some people do with promises to show you how to have a better life” because if I can youContinue reading “New Year, New Me, Sort Of…Not Really.”
