Welcome! to the Blessed Life Ranch!

Bill and me...thirty two years later!



Tuesday, February 5, 2008

This is what I think of on another cold winter's day:
  • the soft western zephyr on a late August afternoon
  • the sound of thousands of frogs early in the spring...doing whatever frogs do
  • the cry of killdeers shooing danger from their nests
  • the distant hum of combines harvesting sunflowers
  • the cacaphony of little bird voices on an early June morning
  • the earthy smell of freshly turned soil in the garden
  • the visible, shiny, slimy trails of way too many slugs
  • the smell of fresh cucumbers being sliced for lunch
  • the cinnamon fragrance of masses of nodding petunias

Okay....I'm wishing for summer.....no apologies!

Hi! This is Erin and I live in B.C Canada! I started reading you blog today and I really enjoyed it-I found it on your daughter in laws site! I am originally from Alberta and I know all about bald flat prairie and -50c! And today I am really hoping for an early spring too! I am looking forward to hearing all about your gardening endevors and hope to learn and ask questions! I have a young family and this is going to be my first year with my very own garden-I of course helped my mom with hers when I was growing up but this is the first year we will be in the country since we got married and I am really looking forward to my own garden! You are welcome to come check out my blog-www.adoptinghopeandfaith.blogspot.com and I look forward to getting to know you-may God bless your day!

Hi! Erin!
Welcome to my blog. Honestly, I'm not very proficient at this, but I'm going to give it a whirl.

I have been gardening and canning for more than 30 years so I might be able to give you a few tips.

Keep checking back.
May God's grace pour down on you!
