Nourishment from the Source

I’ve been catching up on reading one of my favorite blogs.  While the writer and I really don’t have a lot in common on a spiritual level, he said something in a recent post that said it all for me. 
“When you’re getting your nourishment from the Source, that other crap  doesn’t matter. It just doesn’t.”
He was speaking [...]

Potential for Ripples

Wow, where to begin?  This weekend was totally cool, man (there she is again, the old hippie).  I attended the Oklahoma Sustainability Network Annual Conference and was blown away with the information and networking opportunities offered.  Some sessions were definitely better than others as is always the case with this large a conference, but I [...]

Bye Bye Geese – Hello Spring

 
Well, its official.  Spring has arrived in Oklahoma.  It will be 88 today – yes, warm for March – BUT the wind will be sweeping down the plains in all its fury.  25-40 mph predicted for today. 
Sign of spring #2 – our Bradford pear tree is in bloom.  A beautiful sight.  I attempted to take a [...]

I Made Dirt!

This morning I decided it was time to go out and do a little turning of the compost pile.  I have been neglecting it as of late other than throwing eggshells and scraps on it and walking away.  I think the design was flawed.  I made a fenced area of chicken wire and stakes and [...]

Comments on Contentment

There is a blog that I read every day, http://jhfarr.com.  This 60-something guy and his wife live in Taos, New Mexico where they moved nine years ago from Maryland.  The winters are especially hard for him.  The dirt driveway up to their old adobe rental gets snowcovered and impassible.  Then spring or “mud season” arrives [...]

Goodbye Christmas – Hello New Year

Christmas was kinda bah-humbug for me this year.  I’m really glad its behind us and I’m really looking forward to the new year ahead.  No more dog treats – ever, ever, EVER!!! 
Perhaps its the fact that we’re forecasted to have 65 degrees and sunshine today that has me ready to start gardening.  I ordered three [...]

Catching Up

Wow.  I knew it had been a while since I posted anything here, but checking the date it’s been over 60 days.  So, not that anyone but me cares, but I will do a little catching up. 
I sold the dog treat business Nov. 1.  Yeehaa!!  The majority of the money went into making some long [...]

A Monarch Kind of Day

I haven’t been inspired to write much lately.  But today I am.  It is the time of year in Oklahoma where we get a small window, a few blissful weeks, of absolutely flawless weather.  The long unbearably humid days of summer are behind us – a little early, it seems, this year.  The wind is calm [...]

Tender Mercies

The Lord knew just what I needed. 
I pulled into the driveway after work on Friday without opening the garage door.  I came into the house and saw the door to my son’s room closed.  I knew darn well I had propped it open so the cat could come and go.  I pushed open the door [...]
