"more" is always more!

Baby goats have arrived at Meadowview Farm.  This is the first 

time these three month olds have been in a big grassy pasture.

They ran, jumped, hopped...and chased our big boy goats.  We 

are delighted to have them join our little farm family!

Celebrate...

Winter has arrived at my booth at the Hixton Schoolhouse Antique

Mall in Wisconsin.  I am enjoying a more subtle palette this year.

bits of Christmas...

quietly and in neat little batches, Christmas is beginning to arrive

in my booth & case at the Hixton Schoolhouse Antique Mall...

No sooner do the black cats & jack o' lanterns depart, then one 

hears, "gobble gobble" at Meadowview Farm!

Halloween magic...

I was recently with my sisters...part of our outing was at an antique mall.

We reminisced about the boxed costumes of our childhood, the ones with those

plastic masks held on by an elastic band.  We checked out the price on the 

plastic Halloween candy containers that decorated the picture window in

our Healy Lane home.  

I still decorate my home for Halloween...even though trick or treaters are

nonexistent in the country.  I still love the autumn orange and the pumpkin

faces.

And decorations from my childhood still make me smile...

                    Take these broken wings and learn to fly

                    All your life

                    You were only waiting for the moment to arise

to happiness

I will never treat October as just any month.  This is the month when

Dave & I were married...and 4 years ago, it was the month of my final 

surgery in my breast cancer journey.  So, as October begins, I send out 

my reminder that 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer.

And, early detection truly matters.
