This morning Jenny, our milk cow (in case you couldn’t tell by the size of her udder), gave birth to a healthy Black Angus / purebred Jersey bull, soon to be steer. He’s jet black and has an adorable 1-inch white tip on his tail and a little bit of white on his belly. The calf is very active and appears to be brave since he wanders away from mom quite a bit. However, when he realizes she’s too far away, he’ll let out a loud, pitiful ‘moo.’ So cute.
Sorry about the quality of the photo. My camera has started giving me fits. It works when I don’t necessarily need it, but when I need it, well, it’s a problem. But on the bright side, I discovered today with a little online research that the problem will be fixed free of charge by Canon. Apparently, many digital cameras, regardless of manufacturer, made in 2002-2004 eventually

This is for my book reading friends…. If you are looking for some comical but easy reading, may I recommend Lorena McCourtney’s Ivy Malone mysteries. They’re about a little old lady with a “mutant curiosity gene” who finds herself on the hit list of the local small town mafia and also has an odd habit of finding dead bodies. One book reviewer correctly described Ivy Malone as a cross between Jessica Fletcher and Miss Marple. The books are an easy read especially if you are drugged with allergy medicine!
Another series that was recommended to me by our local librarian is the Tips from Tulip series by Mindy Starns Clark. Again, another

I recently finished reading a series of books called Lions of Judah by Gilbert Morris. For those of you who have read Gilbert Morris books, you’ll know that he doesn’t skimp on details, and once he starts a series, well, it might be awhile til the series is done. The man amazes me – he’s written over 200 novels all within the last ten years or so. And he never wrote til he was 50 or something like that. And if you do the math, he averages 20 novels a year or some ridiculous number like that. The man must be brilliant. But back to the subject at hand…I’m not one for reading Biblical fiction – never really struck my fancy I guess. Perhaps I was afraid it would diminish the actual biblical story and its truths. I love historical fiction, however. On a whim, I decided to try reading this series. Wow, was I in

Well, this is the beginning. I have entered the world of blogging. This comes shortly after entering the world of high speed internet once again. That alone was a major accomplishment out here in the sticks!
What can you expect on my blog? I really don’t know.
I’m a somewhat natural creator at heart. What is somewhat natural? Very few ideas originate on their own in my mind but I can always see ways to improve others’ ideas. I have a knack for editing (fixing other people’s stuff), designing (using elements typically from somewhere else to make something new), and writing (using a language someone else developed). So all that to say that you might find updates on my current projects, book reviews, general reactions, and the typical blog stuff. Yes, the word ‘stuff’ is perhaps one of my favorite words.
