Scott’s Top 10 Best Snow Photos

It’s 9:52 pm (always this ridiculous obsession with time now that I have a daily challenge) and we just finished barn chores. It’s freezing and we spent the last hour trying to clean stalls and push the wheelbarrow through over a foot of snow. I had so many ideas for a blog

Date Night: Harvest at Bent’s Opera House in Medina

I am officially POSITIVE for Covid-19. Funny how seeing two sets of pink lines can mean dramatically different things, yet yield a similar

Ahhhhhh. December 1st. The holidays are in full swing, our tree is up and lighted, and my very best friend turns 38 today. Sorry, Scott, it’s not until after 50 that we start keeping mum about age ;) I have waxed poetic about the love of my life on his birthday (here,
