January 12, 2011. Here is what my college-aged daughter needed. For her two weeks at home over Christmas:. We have here two bags to check, one carry on, and many instruments of hair torture. They intrigued me, so I had my daughter explain each one:. From the left, the first item is a ceramic hair straightener. The second is a small. Curling iron, not to be confused with the third item, which is a large. And here she is, after all her careful coiffing:. I'll let you be the judge. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

March 17, 2015. Last Saturday evening was beautiful, calm, and unusually warm at our farm in southwest Iowa. So, what do I think to do? Go horseback riding, of course! March 14th of this year, "Pi Day" (3.1415.) was, as it turned out for me, appropriately sandwiched between Friday the Thirteenth and the Ides of March. I blacked out and lay on the ground. A couple of ribs, some scrapes, bumps, and bruises. The camera that was in my pocket. On the plus side, we have:. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The two "K...

May 31, 2011. I'm going to dare and write a sentence that is not usually found among these pages:. Things are going quite well on the farm. Thanks to the addition of the new fence. Around the garden, it looks like I might get more than three beets. Here we have about six rows of radishes and four rows of lettuce (also unheard of before the new fence - the deer have good taste). Next we have the second round of tomatoes. The garlic and onions and aronia berries are all doing well. While she was away, her ...

February 18, 2011. As I've gotten older, I've become more patient with the semi-annual need for teachers to have their students do some kind of project. The latest incarnation was not quite as bad as the model of the pancreas, but it was the same short notice. (Don't children know that we Moms need more time to make a great model? Mom, I need a pioneer house for school tomorrow morning! The kids know it, too. My daughter insisted that it be "perfect". So, I helped. Bring it, Fourth Graders! The two "K"s ...

Double K Farms: Back in the Game

http://doublekfarms.blogspot.com/2011/11/back-in-game.html

November 16, 2011. Back in the Game. Win as if you were used to it, lose as if you enjoyed it for a change." Ralph Waldo Emerson. After a hiatus of a couple of years, we returned to the game, probably much to the chagrin of the two or three semi-good players who will inevitably be de-throned. We are actually doing a public service by forcing them to bone up if they want to have even a chance of beating us. Then the category for the final question came on the screen:. Then came the question:. I accept ful...

December 13, 2010. Communing with Mother Nature. An Exercise in Stupidity. You can take your pick after you read this entry. Taking one for the team, I volunteered to venture out to the farm last weekend to check on the chickens and kittens and make sure all was well at the cabin. Normally, this is not noteworthy. But, this weekend, the outside temperature registered a bit low:. That is not 38 degrees. There is a little decimal point in there. It was THREE POINT EIGHT. December 8, 2010. Well, Grandma has...

Double K Farms: She's Ba-a-a-a-ck! (But just for a minute.)

http://doublekfarms.blogspot.com/2011/07/shes-ba-a-ck-but-just-for-minute.html

July 25, 2011. But just for a minute.). July is a crazily busy time on the farm, but we seem to be keeping on top of things. There are cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, garlic, onions, shallots, potatoes, and herbs to harvest. There are the remnants of the spring garden to clear and till in preparation for the fall garden. And, as always, there are weeds to contend with. In addition, Hubby (God bless him) decided that we should re-stain the cabins right now. No problem. Just call Superwoman! Oh, she's busy?

Double K Farms: Call Me Anti-American

http://doublekfarms.blogspot.com/2011/08/call-me-anti-american.html

August 11, 2011. Last week, our family was graced with the presence of our college-aged daughter and her Moroccan beau. She, of course, is quite accomplished, hard-working, beautiful, and loving. But since I'm her Mom, I'm "supposed to say those things", as one of my daughters once told me. So, instead, let me tell you about her Honey. His name is Nadir (pronounced na-DEER. When we took him and my daughter to the airport to go back to school, I got to witness the discrimination first hand. So I challenge...
