Usually I deliberately write about the pleasant things in our life on the farm. Occasionally I am more honest and share the less pleasant. I really have always done this not just for consideration of readers’ feelings—but as a form of therapy for myself. It makes me happier when...

Despite driving home from Katherine’s last night in the snow and waking to a white lawn here at Woodsong this morning, I enjoyed spring. In the center of our dining room table is a bouquet of daffodils that grandson Sam presented me with Saturday from his mother’s lamp post planting. ...

Since February, many of the conversations around here have been about University of Georgia’s softball games. We are again having meals in front of game tracker on the computer in Gerald’s office, and already Gerald and his nephew DuWayne have had two trips to see UGA play. They...

When we got the newsletter telling about the Continuing Education conference yesterday at John A. Logan College, I signed Gerald and me up to attend. With all the cancellations and problems of Katherine’s aides, however, I had become convinced we’d have to miss it. And we did...

There is a welcome gentle rain falling on the windows, and I am going to treat myself to go upstairs to the living room and choose a new book to begin reading. I recently finished Wuthering Heights and Unbroken, so I get to begin a different book.
After leaving Woodsong shortly after 6 a.m....

Yesterday in the worship service of our village church, ages ranged from two-month old Issac and seven-month old Jace to Lena in her 90's. I love the inspiration of the older generation (which Gerald and I are rapidly approaching in our church), but I also am thrilled with the young adults and...

Our friend Wendell Garrison has written several devotional books—I am too lazy to run upstairs to the book case and count to be sure if it is four or more or only three. Of course the latest is on Gerald’s bedside table where he usually reads the day’s entry just before he falls to sleep....

Looking out the kitchen window and across the driveway one morning last week, I saw seven fat blackbirds ornamenting the top of the snow-covered limbs of the gum ball tree there. By evening the tree was bare of snow and birds. We have experienced constantly changing and...

Knowing an evening aide was coming in, I had gotten home early last night from Katherine’s after helping some there. I already had chili thawed for our supper, and after supper, I had time to organize for today. Since I don’t always have time to organize, I was enjoying that feeling....

I just found this link on my daughter Jeannie's Facebook page last night. I am not very knowledgeable about knowing how to post things, but I am going to try to post this in case you are interested. One correction to the photographer's story--Jeannie's dress was made from one of my...

One of my best Christmas presents was a last-minute agreement with Gerald that we would wait until after the holidays to think about a gift for each other. Our lives had been so over-full that there had been no time for shopping. Neither of us had an idea for the other one—and neither of us...

The week started with snow all over the ground, and the world looked white.. Tuesday morning when Katherine’s aide called in sick, I took off for town. Even though it was daylight, my main sensation as I scanned the landscape was blackness—dark road, dark tree trunks and bare branches in the...

Driving home Christmas Eve afternoon, I thought of what I might write in a blog and picked what I thought was a perfect title: “Almost Ready—Maybe.” But when I reached the farm, I wanted to enjoy our son and wife, Gerry and Vickie, and Geri Ann and Bryan and Tara, Aidan, Maddux, and...

I meant to post our annual Christmas letter earlier. But then I haven't finished sending Christmas cards either. (Well, almost all but local cards were in the mail before Christmas, which I felt was a noble accomplishment with the little free time I had.) I love cards and...
