And, I found this fun resource yesterday: Blurb. Turn your photo’s into a book!
Just think of the possibilities!
The possibilities are endless! Make your own coffee table book! 
Rabbits and Turkeys and Sheep, Oh My!
The sheep we got in the spring are doing very well. Babies are growing up. Little Cinnimon – the one we almost lost – made it past her tough early days and started thriving. She is just as big as her sister now. We plan to buy a Ram Lamb in another month and breed them all. We will be in Wool and Lamb next year!
The Origional Broody Hen never did successfully hatch any eggs. However, we now have two broody hens – - each setting on a clutch of six eggs. We are cautiously keeping our fingers crossed.
We got an incubator. thried to hatch some chick eggs. No Go. Our incubator didn’t really hold the temp very well. Later, we were able to hatch a few turkey eggs – though the babies died a day later.
The seeds went into the garden late again this year. Sigh. We are in lettuce like no one’s business – - – and we have peas and beans coming on now. Corn? Well. Time will tell. We may get one ear. Will be an interesting meal trying to split that 5 ways for dinner!
What do you write after dropping out of sight with no word and no explanation?
Do you dive in with all you have to say?
Do you catch up on all that has happened?
I found it difficult to know where to start. Then, it hit me. The answer is in the book I am reading.
Life has been busy. That is for sure! He have hatched some turkeys in an incubator. We have planted a garden and continued to build our house. We have had business issues flare up and require our attention. All of these things have taken me away from my word. (You know …. my word of the year…. CREATE). I have failed to create over the last few months. I have stopped taking photo’s and I have stopped writing. Now that I am back …. what do I say? How do I get started again?
With enjoying the moment. That is how. I take the lessons from the book, A New Earth. It is time to apply the words that have given me peace. I get started again by forgetting the past and letting go of my worry for the future. I just enjoy sitting here – - – typing the words – - – as they come to me.
It is good to be back.
