I love making my own bread. My mother was visiting in Sept through November and she helped me get started. I have not bought a loaf of bread since the beginning of November. My son has been experiencing some trouble focusing in school and after speaking with one of my doctors, I took him and us off food colors, additives, artificial flavors and preservatives. Okay, don't go bonkers, it is difficult with those items being in pretty much everything, but I do my best to limit these things from our diet. It has helped tremendously. Making bread is actually not that hard and I receive many compliments on my baking. I have wanted to take pictures of many of the batches and seeing as how I am off work for a while I thought I could pull out the trusty dusty. Let me know what you think... I know I need a food stylist. :)

Hello....
Christmas has come and gone but stays in my heart always. However, this year it was tough. I was so busy before and then was so exhausted I kinda missed Christmas. So.... HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! I wish each and everyone a smile and a laugh, lift your glass and toast someone new and someone old. If you have been hurt or hurt someone, then forgive and forget or get it out in the open. Life is to short my friends. Look around, all we have is each other.
I cherish life and desire to live it Godly and happily.
Love and most Seasonally,
Spring Renee

My handsome boy... just a few snaps of Mr. Personality. A few were taken by a fellow colleague when we switched family sessions. Credit should be given where it is due. Enjoy and What fun!!

In Memory of Cisco

A very sad day on the farm for me. My baby that I saved two years ago, Cisco passed away. I am not sure why but after speaking with the vet and another shepherd, we think it was from something that is called overeating disease. I will be looking into the details of it tomorrow, but for now I am exhausted and my mind is emotionally drained. There are two newborns in the barn but I guess with life there is death. That is a fact. I will miss his sweet call to me in the mornings and his being first to me at feed time. He will be missed greatly.
