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…

And Yet I Persist
My grandmothers, my sister, and me MANY years ago, I think I was around 4 years old. Shoot only 68 years ago ……………… These two women gave me their genes but left me with something even more important to me: who I am. They were DOERS. I watched both of them make a home with…
Inheritance
Genes are fascinating. Some time ago, I noticed that DNA mavins can now tell what you inherited from which parent. What you inherited, that is, as far as locational DNA. Like I have Scottish genes through both my parents, but English through only my father. Genes are fascinating, but more fascinating to me are the…
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…
Self-Sufficient and Self-Efficient

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…
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…
