I’m surfing Amazon Prime Video trying to find a series that I can binge for the next few weeks. I will be spending my evenings with River for a while. Her energy has waned. She is heavy with puppies (at least 7 according to the ultrasound at the vet). She now prefers the languor on […]

Reimagining Doodle Patch Farm
Getting some perspective and looking to the future Today is January 11th , 2025 and I am sitting in our upstairs bedroom.

Students […]
