All You Need Is Hot Coffee And A Visit

14 Sep

The Sky was heavy with clouds. Hurricane Irma was  predicted to make land fall in the next couple of days in the Southern part of our country. My heart was as heavy as the clouds in the sky. Even the steaming cup of coffee couldn't break through the heaviness. Grief was encamped in my soul. It slithered and snuck up when least expected. A headache gripped my being. I sat at the farmhouse table wrestling with the check book. My phone rang; a blocked caller. I declined the call. My farmer and son had come in to get out of the chill. I offered them little in comfort. A stove that ... View Post

Hot Coffee and Cooler Weather

27 Aug

It's happened. Days without the humidity! Hot coffee. Cooler weather. Sunshine. A light breeze. Oh my. Coffee tastes so good in this weather. I notice the trees. I straighten the porch swing. Maybe a few days without rain will keep it dry enough to be able to swing. Someday we'll replace the tin roof that leaks. Someday. For now. I will just cherish this stretch of  cooler weather. I will sip my Hot Coffee and breathe. Hay is down. We're so short on hay. It's been a horrible year for us. I'm not stepping into fear. I don't know what the future holds; but I know who ...

Do You Ever Feel Like You’re Just Spinning Plates?

9 Jun

You know that time, just before the sunrise? When there seems to be a hush.  Time stands still before the day break.  Yeah.  I missed it.  I slept until 6:41.  I woke with a splitting headache.  I wanted to burrow back under the covers.  You see.  I love to sleep.  I LOVE to go to bed.  I look forward all day to going to bed.  I may have written about this once or twice.  I love to climb in to bed.  Book in hand.  Words woven into story or thought before me.  Quiet.  A time when it's ok to ...

Just Before Dawn

3 Feb

Psalm 28:7 The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and he helps me. My heart leaps for joy, and with my song I praise him. The dark still lingers.  Coffee perked.  The morning sounds beginning.  My farmer and girls; still milking.  The pause before the day begins.  One of my favorite times of day.  It is the time I feel most in tune with my Savior.  The time when my heart is full.  When I feel strong.  It is after my feet have touched the floor.  The moments where my soul has been refreshed in ...

Lessons From the Coffee Pot

9 May

No rich smell of coffee reached my senses as I stumbled through the kitchen.  My caffeine deprived system trying to register the day, the mess all at once.  That is when my eye sight cleared enough to see.  My coffee pot.  In pieces.  With no rich, aromatic coffee smells emanating from it.  No beautiful perking sounds.  Just pieces and parts on the counter.  I knew this might be happening.I had inside information and I failed to act.  Yesterday, it was a 2 pot kind of a day.  After 20 years of marriage my farmer ...
