For years, I have wanted a yarn winding station. Somewhere I could set up my swift and winder and just leave them up. But it just hasn’t been practical for one reason or another.

Book Report After hearing so many good things about Storygraph, I finally joined. Not sure yet if there’s a way to friend or follow people there, but if so, I am marileerd in case anyone wants to connect 🙂 I finished 4 books last month!

This month I finished 3 books and started a couple others! Here are my January… Continue reading January Book Report
We have had a lot of extra visitors to the back yard recently, including two deer that visit almost daily! They mainly eat seeds and corn off the ground, but will bonk their heads on the feeders to make more food fall on the ground 🙂 We knew they were coming around because there are… Continue reading Livestock Report
I haven’t done a word of the year before, mainly because I couldn’t think of a word that really grabbed me as a guide for a year. However, I’m giving it a try this year, and my word is Finish. I left a lot of things undone over the last few years – WIPs, online… Continue reading Word of the Year
