What Is This Longing I Feel Deep In My Soul?

12 May

I feel the longing, deep in my soul. I haven't felt that ache in a long time.  It is gripping and searing hot. Photos of mom.  Mother's Day. A beautiful post by Ann Voskamp. The searing, hot feeling lingers. The tears slip down my cheek. Oh, how I miss my mom. I long to see her. Her last months on this earth were agonizing. The ravages of cancer took her appetite, strength and voice. Yet it never touched her spirit. Confined to a wheel chair do to lack of strength, she stood, with arms raised high to praise our God at her grandsons baptism. Her spirit was a gift. Her ... View Post

He Rises Before Dawn

26 Mar

He rises before dawn.   He does a days work before most of our eyes flutter open to greet the day. My farmer. Other's needs are always before his own. There are no sick days. Vacation days are far and few between. He perseveres; With a strength and resolve I admire. He's not perfect. No one is. He loves His God. He loves His Country. He loves His family. It's his birthday today. I praise God for the day he was born and the way he was raised. He's longing to slow down. A desire to read and play on the floor with his grandchildren. He longs for hikes and ... View Post

Snow! That White Stuff.

24 Mar

Snow! Lots of it too. Heavy, wet, white. A wonderland. The perfect back drop for Vermont's Maple Weekend! Sugar on Snow. A long walk to the Sugar House. Quintessential Vermont. Along with the beauty, this storm also brings much extra work. The mud, from the previous weeks thaw combined with the snow, leaves ruts and a disaster. Plowing is a muddy, rutty and just  plain mess. My farmer spends hours plowing the barn driveway, then our drive way. We have Guests arriving to our Davis Farm Guest House  , so that driveway needs work. I begin to make a soup. Ground sausage, onions ... View Post

Just For A Moment

15 Jan

Just for a moment I am alone. I play one of my favorite cd's. It is quiet. And just for a moment I let my self remember. For a moment I am a mom of 6 again. Just for a moment. I let the tears fall as the quiet permeates my soul. These days have been so full. Teens laughing and filling our farmhouse table as our German daughter prepares to head back to her home country. College students home and visiting and it's been wonderful. But just for a moment they're all out. I cry the tears that have been on the surface for weeks. They fall Hot. Wet. This ebbing forward of ... View Post

Bonus Day, Day #24 of Thanksgiving

24 Nov

Bonus Day! The Saturday after Thanksgiving . On the farm the Holidays are just like any other day. The chores need to be done twice a day. There's milking, clean up chores, feeding and checking on animals. A holiday doesn't stop the work. But my farmer will try to get in a little earlier so it's a treat! A bonus Day! AND he will also try to get in a little earlier the day after Thanksgiving so we can begin to decorate this old farmhouse! The kids bicker and fight. The youngest farm girl is out of sorts. I wonder how we'll make it through. They holler and throw angry words out. The ... View Post

30 Days of Thankfulness, Day #8, What Does God Require From Us?

8 Nov

Milk prices are at an all time low. There is much talk about dairy not being able to rebound. Farms are going out of business at an alarming rate. It is not easy being a small business. Folks say they support small businesses yet, their actions show otherwise. Legal hoops, Environmental and Conservation practices, while we support most of them, often hurt us. What does God require from us?  We spin around and around as to how to cut back. How can we reduce expenses? We're still so far behind in chores and repairs to be done. We wonder how long do we come to the table and have this ... View Post
