This weekend we said goodbye to a historic (adjective) herd (noun) of Hereford (noun) cattle. They will be humanely (adverb) treated at their new home (noun). Now we have (verb) other options such as focusing our farm on herbs (noun) and honey (noun).
Emotion (noun) in stories needs to be shown, not told. See? I told you that emotionlessly (adverb). If you tell and not show, the emo (adjective-ha!) police will evict (verb) you from polite writer company. And that is everything (bonus!) for today.
Looks like I’m going to be learning many more adverbs as I work my way through the alphabet in the next few months! Noun: Bread–since discovering soft winter wheat, I’m finally making fabulous 100% whole wheat bread from local organic grains. Yippee! Verb: Brand is a verb many authors talk about. What genre of writing…
Are you a fan of farmers’ markets? I hope so! Nowhere else are you going to find produce this fresh. Nowhere else can you meet the farmers and gardeners proud enough to stand behind their wares–literally as well as figuratively. It always amazes me when someone walks the paths of the market but doesn’t make…
Seasons from My Kitchen is my gift to my e-newsletter subscribers. As you are aware by now, I’m an avid local foodie and gardener. Jim and I have sought local food all of our married life (over 30 years now!). In the early years we grew a garden and bought bulk fruit and vegetables because…
I’m in the middle of the Legacy Sandwich. I remember my grandparents, and I have grandchildren. What has been passed on to me? What am I passing on to the little girls in my life? It’s not hard to see common threads. My grandparents (on both sides) were farmers. My parents farmed until I was…
But it should be! Noun: Characters. Like living humans, the characters in our favorite novels come in many shapes and sizes. It’s challenging (ooooh, a C!) to come up with varied personalities, heroes and villains, adults and children, each with goals and motivations of their own. Such fun. Verb: Create. And with those characters in…

Cute. At first I was thinking you were from Hereford, Texas. (proper noun)
LOL, nope. From down home on the Canadian farm where we (used to) raise Hereford cross cattle! Thanks for stopping by!
Yay for the cows and herbs and honey :). Very cute, btw :D.
Thank you, I’m trying to be cute. Glad to know it’s working lol.
Horrors! But I know this is something you’ve been trying to ease out of for some time. Best of luck with the honey and herbs. At least you can go on vacation without having to worry as much about getting them food and water — or having them escape.
LOL on the escaping. True, that. We will be adding some livestock to the mix again at some point, but haven’t made solid plans yet. Stay tuned!
