Not-Quite-Country Girl

I don't do Black Friday.  In general, I don't do any more shopping than absolutely necessary.

The week before Thanksgiving (yes, I'm a bit behind...) we awoke inside our cozy cabin to an ice-covered world on the other side of our windows.

Driving the back roads to my house last Friday, I came upon a group of 4 sandhill cranes in a rain-soaked soybean field.

October is truly one of my favorite months of the entire year...and how quickly it passed this year!

Hello, Autumn.

My rookie monarch-raising season has come to a close.

Even though it's still hot and the calendar says the beginning of autumn is yet a couple of weeks away, Labor Day always feels like the unofficial end of summer.

Since I've been sharing my new-found monarch obsession with everyone around, I took 2 almost-ready chrysalises down with me for Abram and Lucy.

The boys will have their days, but so far in August it's been all about the ladies.
