The cart doesn’t do too well in winter so it wasn’t used much, except during hunting season.
After sitting for three months, I charged the battery and took it for a ride.
After going around the yard once, I stopped and picked up Sunny for his first ride of 2021.
Sunny kept an eye out for deer and other critters, too bad we didn’t see any close to home.

Rebecca, Sunny dog, and I went for a walk down the farm lane yesterday. We didn’t plan for mud. We should have.
It was a great day to be outside.
I debated about posting this video of me limping. It’s not the best look. My excuse is that I was getting tired and my shoes had a heavy layer of mud attached.
Next time we’ll bring the cart out and hope not to get stuck in the mud.

Families are all different. Members in one family are not identical either. This reading shows how two of our children had different sleep habits.
As a good mother, I got up early with the lark and stayed up late with the owl. No wonder I was tired most of the time. I was trying to burn my candle at both ends.
Are you a lark or an owl? I’ve changed over the years. I’m more of a lark these days.

Snowsuits were handed down as our children grew. In this account from 1988 I tell about snowsuits that almost didn’t make it through to spring.
The expense of a new snowsuit wouldn’t have fit our budget, even if one could found for sale.
The eighties gave us many problems. Money was tight. I always say we hung onto our farm by the skin of our teeth. Sadly some of our friends lost farms.
We did our best, even patching a disintegrating snowsuit helped save money.

Each chapter of my novel Chicken Charlie’s Year is a story in itself.
Today I’m reading my version of Dad’s childhood story about getting broken cookies.
I hope you enjoyed the portion I read.
Yes, this book is still available for purchase from me and at Sissy’s in Seymour. It can also be found on Amazon as a paperback and large print, and on digital Kindle.
A book for people of all ages.
