Well it is a beautiful and peaceful morning here in our little valley. I went out earlier this morning and the cats were up and sitting at the door looking in, like where’s breakfast. The birds were busy, and there was bumble bees up on the porch, I haven’t seen that before and I have noticed there have been a lot of bees this spring. After we had breakfast while Bob cleaned up the kitchen, I took my coffee and went to the front porch swing, everything was so peaceful and the flowers and trees are so pretty, if any of you have come by my hou...
Well it is a beautiful morning here in our little valley. It is a warm and sunny day. I am so glad to see this warmer weather and I sure am enjoying these days getting longer. I fed the cats a little early this morning. The sun was shining right across the front porch and after the cats ate they were really enjoying the front yard. They were chasing bugs and each other and having all kinds of fun. This morning was warm enough that I took my coffee and went to the front porch swing for the first time this year. Even in the wintertime the sun...
Well it is a beautiful morning here in our little valley. The sunrise was unusually pretty this morning, a light breeze is blowing, the birds are singing, the neighbor’s cows are grazing in the pasture across the driveway and there are three baby calves laying contently in the sun. The cats were waiting for breakfast when I went out, but they had just gotten up and were still stretching and yawning, so I got them fed and then I was able to get back to my coffee. I hope everybody had a good Easter. It is hard to believe how fast this year is g...
Well it is a beautiful morning here in our little valley, the sky is blue and the sun is shining, it is so calm and peaceful. It was a little cool but I just had to take a few minutes to sit on the porch and enjoy everything that God was showing me. There was peace all around me, it seems the trees, the grass and every bush now has a little green to it, the birds were singing and I could hear the doves calling each other and across the driveway there were three deer. Then I looked down and saw that the cats were sitting there in the sunshine...
Well it is a cool and cloudy morning here in our little valley. We have seen several mornings with frost, but the peach trees are still blooming and I noticed that the old apple tree is trying to bloom. Old man winter is trying to hold on as long as possible but it won’t be long now. The cats were really hungry this morning. It didn’t take them long to finish the bowl of good warm milk, and then they were sitting there looking up at me and then back to the bowl like “Where’s the Milk!!”. It has been a busy week for us. We did some cleaning,...
Well it is one more cold morning here in our little valley, earlier it was 30 degrees and we had some frost. Now the sky is so blue and the sun is shining nice and bright and it is warming everything up. The cats were ready for their breakfast and warm milk early this morning. They quickly cleaned their plates and bowl of milk. I think they had plans for a big day of playing, hunting and, of course, napping. We are finished with our breakfast too and I am now having my second cup of coffee and Bob is washing the dishes. We had to have just a...
Well it is a cool morning here in our little valley but it is not cold. We had a little heat going but we didn’t need a lot, just enough to take the chill out of the house. The cats were ready to eat breakfast early. I took my coffee and I sat in the rocking chair on the front porch while they ate their breakfast. Bob is washing breakfast dishes. He does a good job and leaves the kitchen spotless. I have to brag on him just a little because since I told ya’ll that he washes the dishes some of you ladies have bragged on him, ha, ha. We have bee...
Well here it is another cold and snowy morning here in our little valley. We got up to 5 1/2 inches of snow on our back porch last night. Today the sun is shining but there is a very, very cold wind blowing. Yesterday it was almost 70 degrees and today it is 32 degrees and on TV they said it feels like 23, and here it is already almost mid-March. We have finished our breakfast. I made homemade biscuits and gravy. Homemade food sure does taste extra good on a cold morning like this one. The house is good and warm with a little fire in the old...

My coffee was really good this morning, we have finished breakfast and Bob is washing the dishes, I have had a really good week, I did some yard work and I did some cleaning, I love these warm beautiful days. Still just cool enough for a little fire on these cool nights and early in the mornings, but after the sun comes up in the mornings we can raise the blinds...
Well it is a cold and rainy morning here in our little valley. It has been raining and sleeting along with some snow flurries, just a cold winter morning. The house is nice and warm, we have got a good fire going in the old wood heating stove. We are finished with breakfast. I made a big cast iron skillet of homemade biscuits and of course had homemade gravy to go with them. Bob is washing dishes, he is really good at that. Ladies don’t you all think that is nice? The cats were still in their beds when I went out with their breakfast. It was j...
Thursday, February 17, 2022 Well we are having another cool morning here in our little valley, but the sun is shining and there is a beautiful blue sky. Yesterday was a lot different, it was cold and there was snow flurries all day, and we were out running errands but I liked seeing the snow flurries because we knew it was not supposed to get bad, so we just enjoyed it. This morning the cats were ready for their breakfast and warm milk, they were sitting and looking in the window like, hey where is our breakfast! They have all finished eating...
Well it is a cold morning here in our little valley, it is 16 degrees but the sun is shining and there is a pretty blue sky. The cats have ate their breakfast and are playing out in the sunshine. Today is a lot different from yesterday at this time, yesterday we were having freezing rain and sleet and snow flurries, but it is winter time. Yesterday while the weather was bad I made a big pot of spaghetti, it seems like food like that always taste better on cold wintry days, we just sit back and ate and enjoy the winters day. You know we can...

Well it is a very quiet and still morning here in our little valley, everything is covered with a very thick white blanket of snow. I really don’t ever remember this much snow at one time, here on our back porch we had 10 inches. It sure is pretty but I am ready for some sunshine and melting, this was a little too much. But the weather forecasters were telling us it was coming, we kept watching and it was looking like it was going to be all rain for us. I got up early the morning before and watched the weather and they were still calling for s...
Well it is a very cold morning here in our little valley. We have got a layer of ice on the ground and a blanket of snow over the ice and the snow is still coming down. It is very quiet and still, it seems like nothing is moving. I looked in on the cats and they are still snuggled under their blankets in their good warm beds, and they don’t seem to be hungry. The cats may not be hungry but Bob sure is. I made a skillet of homemade biscuits and a big pan of gravy to go with his eggs and sausage, a good breakfast really is good on a cold m...
Well it is a winter morning here in our little valley. We have about 3 1/2 inches of snow, it is really pretty. I have got a good warm fire in the old wood heater and I just finished my coffee. The cats didn’t want to get out of their warm beds, not even for their bowl of warm milk, but they finally did and they ate and then they when right back to their bed. I hope you all are looking forward to a brand new year and have made some plans. I am thinking it will be a much better year and I am looking forward to seeing what God will do for us. I a...
Well it is a cool and foggy morning here in our little valley. It is not cold like it should be on the days right after Christmas but a little heat feels good. I don’t have a big fire going in the old wood heating stove, just a little heat to take the chill out. I have my cup of hot coffee, and the cats have had their breakfast. They really enjoy their bowl of warm milk and of course I always pet them and talk to them. Christmas is over and some folks are happy it is and some folks are sad, but we had a wonderful Christmas. All the kids were h...
Well it is a rainy morning here in our little valley with colder weather coming in soon. The cats don’t like the rain and wind and when it gets bad they go and hide until it is over. They came up to eat breakfast and they were wet so I dried them off, now they have finished breakfast and have got back in their warm dry beds. I have my Christmas lights on and I am having a cup of good hot coffee. Sure is a nice cozy morning. I heard the neighbors’ old John Deere tractor, he came down and got some big round bales of hay for his cows. He is get...
Well it seems like a beautiful cold winter morning here in our little valley. Inside, the old wood heating stove has the house nice and warm. The Christmas lights on the Christmas tree are all lit up, and I have got my cup of hot coffee. I went out to feed the cats but they were not in a hurry to get out of their warm beds but when they smelled their warm milk, they came running. Do you all think that I may have them a little spoiled? These storms that we have been having recently have been really bad and around us the storms have done a lot...

The cats had a really good breakfast this morning, they had chopped turkey from Thanksgiving with a little warm gravy on top and now they are back on their beds with full bellies and ready for a nice long cat nap. The leaves are all gone off the trees and we have gotten the leaf piles cleared away now, but the cats sure did enjoy those piles of leaves, they...
Well it is a cool fall morning here in our little valley. The cats have eaten and are back in their warm beds. The old wood heating stove sure feels good.

The cats were hungry and ready for some warm milk. It is fall but it sure looked like a winters morning.

The neighbor’s boys came over and put wood on the back porch yesterday so we have got plenty of wood thanks to those guys, they take care of us. I need to make them a big batch of my peanut butter...
