It was this kind of day a hug and kiss kind of day a put your pole in a puddle and fish kind of day You ran down the big hill for fun basked in the warm pre-spring sun It was a big stick kind of day a muddy crick kind of day a ketchup [...]

If you give a pug a home…

If you give a pug a home he will probably want full reign of your couch to go with it. So you will move over to clear the area for that smooshy nosed, squishy, cuddly animal to lie down next to you. When you’ve helped him to his spot and sufficiently scratched his ears, he [...]
The animals of winter…

Well the wind blew winter in this weekend and I breathed in the frozen air, a kind of sigh of relief that the season didn’t skip us altogether. Nope, the snow and the cold made it just in time to keep us wondering if there will be lions or lambs trotting in for the grand [...]

When I was younger, a little girl all wrapped up in the magic of this place, my favorite book of all time was “My Side of the Mountain.” I’m sure you’ve read it. It’s about a boy who finds himself living away from home in the wilderness of the mountains inside of a giant hollowed [...]
What makes you happy…

He’s playing the guitar, though he’s not so good and you’re dancing in the kitchen when you know you should be scrubbing up the dishes, putting them away checking off the list you made for the day. But you’re hair’s looking good and your jeans fit right and the sun came up this morning shining [...]
Are you warm yet?

Uff da, it’s kinda cold here in Fargo. It’s normal for February, but with all of the 50 degree temperatures we’ve had in January, we’ve been spoiled and confused about what season we’re living in. Which makes today’s -32 windchill feels a little mean. Yes, today in Fargo it’s winter indeed and I am happy [...]
On a green January day…

Well, we are nearing the end of January and outside my window the sun is trying desperately to peek through the blanket of clouds and I feel, at 45 degrees, at any minute this brown, damp landscape is going to erupt in colors of green and orange and pink and purples. What a weird winter [...]

If I were a pug with one eye I would tread lightly in this world, understanding that my life is hanging on the fact that my remaining eye, well, remains. If I were a pug I would have put pen to paper in my journal to detail each gory detail about how, exactly, I lost [...]
Obsession…

I have been having some issues this past month and I decided it’s high time I let you all in on one of my little quirks. Because I think it is one of my duties to make you all feel better about yourselves and life in general and what better way to give someone the [...]

Weekends around the ranch, no matter how well intentioned and thought out, are usually pretty unpredictable. Where some families have a nice and lovely routine that includes pancakes in the morning, taking kids to practices, catching a movie and maybe going out to eat with the family on Sunday after church, around here we try [...]
