Time flies. . .

Time flies when life gets in the way, doesn't it?  Time and tide wait for no man, so the old saying goes, and that has certainly proven to be true!  In my case, to blog or not to blog--ah that is the question!  I love to write, and can do so much more effortlessly in this medium rather than longhand, for my brain often works faster than my pen and the result is "WHAT?  I can't read my own writing!"

Life, since my last entry, has brought interesting challenges my way--a daughter becoming a United States Marine, a middle-school granddaughter coming to live with us for most of the school year, then a black op adventure of tough love that has resulted in my oldest daughter and her husband disowning me and my Marine cutting off communication with me for over a month.  Add to that mix my mother having colon cancer surgery (subsequent checkups have been clear, praise God!) and there you have it: borderline high blood pressure LOL

But on the upside, it's just my husband and me again, and there is peace to be found at last.  The garden was planted in May, and by the looks of the corn, we may very well see it "knee-high by the fourth of July."  More positives: Cats purr; chickens lay fresh eggs; love & support from family is constant and nonjudgmental.
