Opening Pandora’s Box …………….

According to Jane Roberts, the author of Seth Speaks, in the astral plane one needs only to think of something to create it. If only I had that power here …………. imagine what I could accomplish! Since I don’t, I have to add action to my imagination. That’s not horrible because I do enjoy the…

September Arrives ………..

There is a definite chill in the air here in Maine. There isn’t any ice or snow yet, so I’m not at all unhappy with the change. This summer has, once again, been a wet one ………… living in the woods, I will take rain over drought any year! I did something unheard of this…

Lord Spare Us

I was raised in the 50s and 60s. I know, I know – every generation thinks their childhood years were much better than the present. In my case, they were. We had no 24 hour news station. We didn’t have a 24 hour radio station. There was a computer, but it took up several floors…

Making a Mess

This has been a week!!!!!!!!!!!! I won’t bend your ear about politics – it’s just way too surreal for words. Like people just found out the president is missing …………. everyone must be the three blind monkeys??? I can’t take anymore, so it’s time to dye. I managed to dye 6 yards of hemp knit…

Gardening, Sewing, and Reading

This is an old photo. I must have been about 3 years old. That’s quite a few decades ago, I’m afraid. Both of my grandmothers, Nannie and Hattie, are gone now ……………. but not gone. I learned something from each of them. Today I want to tell you about Grandma Hattie. She was an educated…

The Life and Times of a Serial Procrastinator

I quickly looked at the astrological aspects hitting my natal chart today, and there he is – Pluto. No way Pluto is a DWARF planet, Maybe he’s smaller than other planets, and I can only thank God that he is …………… I’m afraid if he were any larger, I would have vaporized in the last…

When I Was Called Rachael

In 1987, I graduated from university. Finally, 18 years after I started. I thought that having a degree would help me get a job that was more of a career. You know, less direction and more directing? Well, that was a laugh. I got nothing after college, except disillusioned. I had intended on going to…

That Quiet Space ……………

I don’t know if I’m the only one ………….. or if everyone has this THING …………. I have always “done” something. It was embroidery when I was little ……………. Grandma Nannie taught me to do that. She had fun teaching me to use my right hand instead of my left. Now I can’t sew with…

On The Road

It’s been a busy week here at Happy Shepherd Farm. I think the busy started the moment I got here, actually. Every day there’s SOMETHING.  We were sitting here, talking to another farmer friend of ours and he asks us if we want 6 pigs. He was moving and thought he wouldn’t be able to…
