a calf and some lambs...

 

we are on the up side of warmer weather...

it's coming in a little each day...

the mowing needs to start...
and the rest of the leaves need to be raked...
we are a bit behind schedule with all the medical problems here...
but it will get done sooner or later...

keep your eyes on Jesus...
be well, be blessed!

morning...

some more easter bunnies coming your way...

these are so pretty...

hope you can use them...

be well, be blessed...

 

Wednesday, March 25, 2026

hope your days were awesome...


we had a very nice warm day...
and tomorrow is our son's primary care visit...
to determine the plan from here on out...
we have a thunderstorm right now...
and could have hail filled storms later tomorrow...
before we turn back to the 30s again...
it's all in a week on the prairie...
the weather is so fickled...
have good days, be blessed...

need to hop to it...

I might be running a little behind on getting the easter images posted...

and I have found some pretty cute ones...

cannot believe it's that time again...

I have not decorated for it at all...

so the easter tote will stay where it is and we will begin with spring here soon...

Doug went home yesterday!

I am sure he is glad to be back in his own bed...
another blood check on Thursday, so will see him then...

anyway, enjoy the images...
and I hope your holiday week is full of blessings and smiles...
maybe even some jelly beans...
take care, be blessed!

yet another late night ER run...

 

oh, what a time we are having here...
Doug's groin surgical site opened up about an inch...
and it was seeping yellow puss...
so around midnight, my guys heading for the ER again...
they cleaned it up and gave him antibiotics...
I have no idea how many miles they have logged now for ER and hospital runs...
but the gas bill has been through the roof...
Doug is up and walking, not going too far at a time...
the swelling in the leg is about half of what it was...
so, progress...
hope your days are good...
be blessed!


Friday, March 20, 2026

and so it goes on the prairie...


it was a day of blood work for one son and increasing his walking and PT...
the other son has his girlfriend from Canada here...
Jody flew in on the 17th...
she will be here for 3 weeks...
my house is full of kids...
the weather hit the 60s...
improvements in the spring activities in the yard...
and of course, yard work needs done asap...
enjoy your days...
be blessed...

 

Thursday, March 19, 2026

spring is back...

 

back to the 60's today...
winter has been shoved out again...
hoping it stays gone...
but not holding my breath...
hope your days are good...
be blessed...

it's going so much better...


Doug is here...
finally...
he is doing so good now...
thank you for all the prayers the last couple of weeks...
still has things to do...
ways to change...
but he can do it...
and God will help...
we are so blessed...
keep looking up...

 

Saturday, March 14, 2026

make me better...

 



Doug went back to the er Thursday night...
there is another blood clot in the thigh...
the blood thinner they put him on isn't working on him...
putting him on another pill once a day...
and he will have to shoot another blood thinner twice a day for 6-12 months...
he is in surgery now...
waiting for a call from the surgeon...
DH is home with me...
there is nothing he can do here and we had no one to stay with me...
Craig has used up all his extra time...
keep praying for us all...
and while we are here in the hallway waiting...
we are praising His holy name...
God is good all the time...
be blessed...


Friday, March 13, 2026

amen...

have good days...
be blessed...

 

Thursday, March 12, 2026

this is going to take time...

 

the swelling in my son's leg is massive...
and it's just going to take some time to get it back to normal...
he is working on it...
moving, walking, elevated...
PT is supposed to get ahold of us...
to come here to work on him...
just waiting for the call...
in the meantime...
God is working...
in His time...
have a great day...

Tuesday, March 10, 2026

still waiting...

our son's leg is still swollen...
and they did not get him up today...
but did move him to another room...
a step down from where he was at...
hoping tomorrow will be better...
be blessed...

 

God is good...

 

all the time...
our son had surgery...
it went very well...
got all the blood clots...
will get him up and walk him today...
may come home today...
if not, tomorrow...
thank you for your prayers...
and your kindness...
be blessed...

need more prayers...

our son was transported to a trauma center north of here late last night...

there is a large clot in his leg and multiple smaller ones in his lungs from the big clot...

they got him into a room about 3am...

surgery at 10am to remove the clot in the leg...

DH is there with him...

keep them in your prayers... 

Sunday, March 8, 2026

Wednesday, February 25, 2026

the weather is wonky...

 

and so are my joints...
23 more days until spring!
hope you are all well...
we do not have snow...
but they are keeping an eye on a system...
that if it tracks farther south...
could end in a rain/ice combo...
and I don't want that at all...
so much going on here...
DH has a cardio appointment today...
just a routine check up to make sure he is on track...
Craig ordered me a new phone...
my old one was about 7 years old...
I can answer it, but that's about all...
the technology has zoomed past me...
so will have to read the manual to get things done...
and loaded...
my friend is doing so much better now and can stay by herself during the day while her husband works...
GOD IS GOOD!
be blessed!

Sunday, February 22, 2026

there is nothing better...

one day at a time...

let God have it...
He is the only one who has the power to change it...
be well...

 

hey there...

 

hope you have a wonderful day...
we will hit almost 70...
got some storms coming in after that...
then back to winter...
but it is a nice taste of days to come...
be blessed...

Monday, February 16, 2026

its in the quiet moments...

when you have time to just breathe...
that you are the closest to God and His Son...
use those moments to recharge...
and to just spend time with Him...
it will calm your soul...
be blessed...

we have warmer days...

 

good morning...
hope your days are sunny and bright...
its in the 50s here...
the snow is melting fast...
my friend is waiting on the biopsy results...
they took a biopsy of the white matter in her brain...
going to check it layer by layer...
should have the results back tomorrow...
keep praying all is clear...
still in ICU...
still a little confused...
but has swelling from the biopsy...
and that will take some time to go down...
its not going to be a quick fix without God...
hope you are well...
be blessed...

Sunday, February 8, 2026

morning...

 

hey there!
thank you so much for the prayers for our friends...
she had surgery yesterday, it was a success and she is in ICU...
out most of the day...
haven't heard any more today...
and have no idea what kind of surgery, but they were looking at a mass in her brain...
keep praying...
he is by her side...
any of us could be in that space they are in now...
some of us have been there before...
it's a scary place...
and it takes your energy so fast...
prayers get people through their storms here on earth...
and their faith in a God who loves us...
be well, be blessed...

Saturday, February 7, 2026

need prayers...


for a friend...
who may be on her last days...
in a major hospital right now...
last hope...
not sure what is going on...
but looking for answers...
and what they are finding is not good...
she is a christian...
and has said she would be going home soon...
sometimes you just know...
mass in the brain...
feeding tube...
so prayers for her, her family and the man who loves her with all his heart...
be well, be blessed...
