Okay Then! Everybody All Together Now...

On the count of three!

1...2.....3!

LAUGH!

Laugh LOUD!

Laugh Long!!!

Laugh some More!!!!

There! Maybe Mother nature will get the message.

We got the joke! It was funny!!!

The snow amazed us!

The rain and hail pouring down upon us as we gazed in awe at the sun, which beamed down at us the entire time was almost inspirational.

The wind was a bit much, but entertaining just the same.

Now, can we please get back to somewhat normal weather?

We have gardens to plant already!

My Little Room In The Corner said...: Hey there Kims Mom! I love the new blog and the theme. It is fun and original to boot. I am going to have to sift through it all and read the entire thing. So far my faves are the reading before signing and your blog description in the left column! Fun stuff.; April 21, 2008 at 3:34 PM

Ma's Babblin'

Like every good Boondock Ma, I cook, and on occasion, have been known to clean. I knit, crochet, and have some experience with a needle 'n thread.
We play in the garden. Pa tills it the old fashioned way, by hand, with a shovel and hoe. Come harvest time, we can and freeze the resulting bounty.
Don't use those newfangled electronic dishwashers. My dishes git done up by hand, then dry all natural like in the strainer. I make my own laundry detergent, and hang my clothes out to dry. I'll hang my head in shame and admit, I haven't gotten 'round to tryin' my hand at makin' my own bar soap. It's on the list...
We heat with wood, which comes in right handy durin' those wet, cold winter months for dryin' our clothes on the rack. We git our water from a well, although we do leave the pumpin' to an electrical gadget, simply known by most as a "well pump".
Our young-uns git their exercise the old fashioned way as well. They run 'n play outside in the fresh country air. They also pitch in and help with the wood splittin' and stackin'.
No cable tee-vee in our humble home, but lots o' readin', courtesy of the public library in town.
We're homeschoolin' folks, and have a grand time with that. Somewhere down the line we got it in our heads that learnin', like work outta be fun!
I have two young-uns at home, and two all grown up, the oldest of which is hitched and got two young-uns of her own! My second oldest is doin' a great job of forgin' ahead in the big city, and has even started her own bakin' and caterin' business. All four of my young-uns are doin' me right proud!
