Chickens!

by Sarah Reinhard | Mar 25, 2011 | Farm Life, Quick Takes | 2 |

-1- I’m pretty sure that Lisa knows I’m not crazy, though Arwen can’t be so certain. (She loves me anyway, though.) After all, last weekend, we got ourselves some chickens!!! And, folks, I agreed to this! If...

Because the Days are Fleeting

by Sarah Reinhard | Sep 15, 2010 | family | 0 |

I have a pile of books to review here, in this space. I have requests in my inbox for announcements to be shared here, in this space. I have thoughts swirling in my brain, waiting for the chance to come out here, in this space....

Dog Drama Continues

by Sarah Reinhard | Sep 9, 2010 | family, Farm Life | 5 |

Here’s a tale (or a docked pair of tails, as it were) of tears and giggles, shared in part because otherwise the five of you who pay attention to the details around here will be highly confused by the different doggy faces...

Quick Takes at 3:15 AM

by Sarah Reinhard | Jul 30, 2010 | Farm Life, Quick Takes | 4 |

~ 1 ~ If I’m awake at 3:15 AM, I’m not usually online and blogging. This strikes me as common sense. But since I was WIDE AWAKE this morning (or is it night?), and since I hadn’t scheduled my Quick Takes (did...

Dog Tales during the Dog Days

by Sarah Reinhard | Jul 23, 2010 | family, Farm Life, Quick Takes | 1 |

Perspective on Pets

by Sarah Reinhard | Nov 4, 2009 | Farm Life | 3 |

Life on the Outside

by Sarah Reinhard | Oct 23, 2007 | Farm Life | 0 |

Life with our Jack Russell Terror has its ups and downs…and here in the last week, the downs have reached a point where I’m longing for something stronger than hot tea to take my woes away. For one thing, JRT can’t stand a...

Playing God

by Sarah Reinhard | Nov 12, 2006 | reflection | 3 |

It had been an especially challenging day with the Jack Russell Terror. My husband and I had a halfway serious discussion about shooting him. (I was the one who was halfway; Hubby would have shot him long ago!) Then we got The...

What’s that gnawing in my closet?

by Sarah Reinhard | Oct 17, 2006 | reflection | 2 |

It’s that time of year when the leaves are brilliant, the corn is harvested, and the car is frosty. The clothes in our closets are mostly inappropriate, and the closet itself is awaiting the Clothes Swap Extravaganza.There’s...

Jack Russell Terror
