The Autumn Slide

The Autumn Slide

What a summer it's been! I swear to you that I've written this post at least 15 times in my head over the past few weeks, updating it as new things have happened and trying to pull seconds out of free minutes to put pen to paper (or cursor to screen, if you will).

If we were having coffee and bizcochitos

If we were having coffee,  I'd greet you with a great big hug (if you're amenable to such things) and tell you how happy I am to see you! It's been far too long since we've sat together and I'm so very happy you're here! I'd ask you how you're doing, how your family is, and how your holidays are…

This post could have easily be called, "On remembering why we started". Though I microblog a lot these days, there are times I'm not sure how to even address the battles happening on the farm and within myself... And so I wait to find the right words at the right times to put in this space so as to properly…

Ten years gone…

Ten years gone…

Today felt as though it should have been a big day... The weeks and days leading up to it surely did. And yet, how does one go about marking a decade of missing one's mother? I thought there would be streams of tears and a deep, raw sadness. I thought there might be anger, emptiness, or the need to curl…
