Our Creatures Great and Small. Friday, August 5, 2016. Our Silver Wedding Anniversary. Mr and Mrs. Steven Paul Hake. I remember writing it out on paper to see how it looked. Saying it out loud to hear how it sounded. Relishing with all of my heart the reality of belonging. It seems at once both so long ago and only yesterday. Steve and I celebrated 25 years together by taking a romantic mini second honeymoon. And we got an updated family portrait. When we first were married we wrote our own vows to each ...

Our Creatures Great and Small. Wednesday, November 11, 2015. It's curtains for me! No, I'm not about to die. (That I know of! I have curtains up in my kitchen! This makes me happy. :). The kitchen is starting to feel more and more like a real kitchen. And it's so light and bright and cheerful! I had the idea of using velcro to hang them and Steve thought that would work so he found me some strips of velcro that were 6 feet long and they worked just fine. I cut the strips the length of the window frame an...

Our Creatures Great and Small. Sunday, July 24, 2016. On our actual anniversary we left the children and went away for a second honeymoon in a remote cabin for two in a resort area designed specifically for romantic getaways in Eureka Springs, AR. We had high expectations from what we had seen online but were blown away by the outstanding hospitality of the folks at Beaver Lakefront Cabins. We pulled up to our little cabin-in-the-woods with a lakefront view the evening of the 13th of July. Our first even...

Our Creatures Great and Small. Sunday, April 26, 2015. The Lord's Been Good to Me. Do you remember the Johnny Appleseed song? Wednesday, April 22, 2015. Eulogy for a good cow. She was laid to rest on the grassy banks of the creek, where the wind rustles through the trees and the birds sing, with lilacs tucked into her collar. She was such a lovely cow with a sweet and gentle nature. Just enough mischievousness to give her some spunk and character and make her so endearing. Oh, how I loved Girlfriend!

Our Creatures Great and Small. Wednesday, May 13, 2015. We tried to hatch another clutch of eggs again this year. We just have not had good results with our incubator. We don't know what the difficulty is. This year we only had 2 survivors. Ethan built a very nice, sturdy brooder for us that we can use out in the garage. It has been wonderful to not have the smell of the brooder coming into the living room from the porch like last year. It's a grand brooder! We let the chicks stay with her until they wer...

I enjoy surrounding myself with memories of loved ones. . Sunday, October 18, 2015. To calve or not to calve? That is the question! We are on pins and needles to find out the answer. Then we found out about a lab that does testing on milk samples. Oh, happy day! Humor me and let's do a little comparison. And this is today from the front. Even tho...
