To be among power and greatness…

To be the leader, if only for a moment…

To see another farmer show the fruits of his toil…

To encounter wisdom…

To have a special tree, on which to lean your back…

How My Sled Dog Yard is like Facebook

Filed under: Mushing — Tags: , , , , — Administrator @ 11:08 pm

Most folks come to Facebook because they are curious.

And they want to connect with old friends.

And perhaps meet up with a whole bunch of new friends.

They are happy folks, who enjoy their ‘puters.


And, they like to “chew the fat”, as they say.

Some folks don’t say much ~ they simply ride on the backs of others.

Some of the older and wiser and more wordly, don’t care for such things.

Sometimes discussions get heated.

Because folks care and are truly passionate about their beliefs.

But we are all friends who support each other and pull together.

There’s also the shy types, who watch and learn. Quietly ~ from a distance.

Yes, Facebook reminds me of my dog yard.

A place where dogs love to work and play and relax.

A place where a kind gesture is acknowledged and appreciated.

Until tomorrow ~ truly God willing,

Kindred Spirits

Filed under: farm — Tags: , — Administrator @ 11:48 pm

Today, I received a very special package in the mail.

An unexpected package. Which, is the very best kind.

From Donna. Donna from the dairy state.

We met last fall, when she and her husband, James, attended our Full Moon Fall Fling. (Now re-named Meet the Mushers since we pushed the date into August.)

Donna, through an act of kindness, must have noticed my clothesline in one of my pictures and decided to grace it with beauty. And function.

Simple beauty is the best.

Simple friends are the best.

Unconditional. Sharing the same dreams.

Thank you Donna, and all my other friends who are Kindred Spirits.

Chicago Grace. Kevin. Blueberry Becky. And many more, you know who you are, who follow our life.

“Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom.”
Marcel Proust

Until tomorrow ~ feeling blessed today ~ God willing,
