April 2026 Blog Train and Fan Freebie

 We made it through the winter with only a couple big snow storms.  The rest were no big deal.  In fact, we even had one day that was 70 degrees a couple weeks ago.  I thought that would be it for winter. Less than two weeks later, it rained.  Then the rain turned into ice.  I woke up the next morning to 2 feet of snow covering everything!  Even my horses were complaining about it!  But, April is finally here, the sun is shining and all that white stuff is melted and gone.  I am so looking forward to complaining about the heat of summer!

You can tell gardening and new plants are on my mind.  I used the same colors as above so you can mix and match as you want.  Wouldn't it be fun if butterflies really DID have smiling faces :)

The Boo Update --

Boo loves to grab my husband's shoestrings.  He's been doing that every day since he was just a kitten.  It must be a "guy thing" :)


See you next month!

March 2026 Blog Train and Fan Freebie

I'm a little early for Easter, but the colors were too perfect to put it off for another month.  Also, we haven't had any snow for a while now, so I'm pushing for an early spring.  Excuse my glee, but it was nice to see New York hit with 30 inches of snow instead of us for a change.

I have no Irish anywhere in my family tree, but I do enjoy an Irish Pub.  There was a really nice one in St. Paul, Minnesota, years ago not far from the Chimera Theatre.  The minute you walked through the door, you felt like you were actually in Ireland.  A fun way to end an evening out.

The Boo Update --

We're taking a trip into the past here.  I was looking through all of my old pictures one afternoon. This was Boo in October 2018 just a month or two after I brought him in from the barn. When I pick him up today, I can't believe it's the same cat.  I had never expected him to get so big and have such long black fur.  And those rings on his tail were just adorable.  


Til next time . . .

February 2026 Blog Train & Fan Freebie

I like the idea of Valentine's Day, but I don't like that it's in February.  It's usually snowing and blowing, so it's more like a "Warm Heart Cold Feet" holiday :)

I used the same colors as the kit above so that you can mix-and-match as you please.

The Boo Update --

This is Boo with his buddy.  Jake had been my favorite stable cat and then one day about 4 years ago he just disappeared.  With barn cats, it happens.  Then, a couple months later when I was walking back to the house, there he was.  Oh, he was so thin.  He started purring the minute he saw me.  So, I brought him in the house so I could get some weight on him.  Boo liked the idea of "a little brother", and he fell right into our routine, so Jake became our second  house cat.  And, I have to say, it has been good for Boo to have another cat in the house.
