snow and a happy weekend {on the vine}


Yes, snow.  But after that million dollar rain I talked about last week, this is maybe considered a million dollar snow, because if you know any farmers/ranchers, the key to a good year is moisture.  So we're staying tucked in this weekend and enjoying the quiet!  A special thank you to the members of our armed forces and their families for their sacrifices.  It is never forgotten.


How about you?  Do you have any traditions for Memorial Day?

Million dollar rain and a happy weekend!


Last night we got what my husband considers a "million dollar rain" because of how dry it has been all spring, and our lack of snow cover this winter.  Everything is greening up a bit, and that makes our cows and calves very happy!

I survived my first race. I was actually so excited, as I had set my goal time to be under 1 hour, and I finished in 50 minutes.  My first 5 mile race was a success!  I have a 10k the middle of June, and I'm hoping to get my splits down a bit into the 9 minute zone.
