Catching Up

Back in November I hurt my hip and have been unable to do chores with Farmer John since. I suspect this is bursitis.  My grandma had bursitis.  My current mode of contending with this discomfort is to ignore it and hope it will go away.

I've missed mornings on the farm but things like Thanksgiving, Christmas, four birthday celebrations, a New Year's Eve gathering, and a Super Bowl party have kept me busy. And now the weather is so cold here in Kansas that I'm not minding hibernating just a tad longer.

I do hobble to the middle of the road in front of our house nearly every evening to watch the sunset, and while Lydia would write a word picture by way of description, I just snap a photo or two:

 I've done lots and lots of cooking including these ham and cheese sliders and a cast iron skillet full of biscuit topped chicken pot pie; Anna would be proud:

At the web site this month you can register for the February/March drawing for a chance to win a complimentary copy of The Children Are Tender. 

The Reading (pronounced "redding"), Kansas book club was gifted complimentary copies of The Children Are Tender with the only stipulation being they were to find another club to pass the books along to when they were finished. The books have now traveled from Kansas to Texas, and in a couple of months will be ready to make their way to a new locale. If your book club would like to read The Children Are Tender, message me through the web site's customer contact page or via Facebook. 


Have a safe, warm, February and I hope I'll have more farm news to share next post!
