On Friday, Mom and I visited our friend @jennyknip

On Friday, Mom and I visited our friend @jennyknipferbrave and got copies of her new book. I told myself before we went that I had to get a picture of the three of us and Jenny’s book. Well, we just chatted and chatted and I forgot all about it. I did want to share a picture of Jenny’s book, In a Grove of Maples. Isn’t it gorgeous? This book is set in Wisconsin close to where we all live which makes it extra exciting for me. If you want a taste of Wisconsin farm life in the late 1800s and early 1900s, this book is for you! Reviews are overwhelmingly positive and it’s clear that Jenny has written a deeply emotional book that has touched many hearts. I can’t wait to read it!

I’ve had a busy day so we have a late Flower Fri

I’ve had a busy day so we have a late Flower Friday today. It’s perfect though because this evening when we were walking The Scruffy Princess, our neighbor called us over to look at her flowers. I asked if I could take some pictures and she said yes. Isn’t this the most gorgeous Stargazer Lily? I’m so glad I got to take some photos!

Wisconsin is going to feel tropical tomorrow so I’m planning on getting some things done inside… maybe even sleeping in! What do you have planned this weekend?

Hey farmers, homesteaders, donkey sanctuaries, and

Hey farmers, homesteaders, donkey sanctuaries, and donkey owners everywhere. I need your help! I’m a picture book author who has a soon-to-be-published book all about a special little donkey named Howie. “Howie’s Broken Hee-Haw” releases Spring 2022 with @endgamepress. Preorders are going to be available soon and I’ve started my marketing campaign. Part of my campaign is sharing all things donkey!

Do you have a picture or a video of an adorable donkey? Does your donkey have a special rescue story? Does your donkey do something unique or funny? Do you have a fun fact about donkeys you’d like to share? I would love to share your donkey and their story on my Instagram account and tag you in it, sharing your account with my audience.

I’ll be featuring one donkey per week. DM me to apply for a feature!

As for these precious donkeys, I got to meet them at #BackroadsSafari last weekend. Aren’t they adorable? I was able to feed them and pet their soft little heads. ❤️

We had such a wonderful weekend celebrating 50 yea

We had such a wonderful weekend celebrating 50 years of marriage for my parents! We kicked the celebrations off at @vinocappuccino and their Hawaiian night. They made Mom and Dad a surprise cake (which was so awesome because they're impossible to surprise). It was a gluten-free and dairy-free red velvet cake and it was SO GOOD! Also, shout out to my big brother for looking vintage 80s in his Hawaiian shirt and mullet! 😂😂😂

This weekend is my parent’s 50th wedding anniversary. This afternoon Dad brought Mom a gorgeous bouquet. (@lakeviewfloral always does an incredible job!) I had to take some pictures, of course! Happy Flower Friday, Friends! We're going to celebrate all weekend, what are you going to do?

I love this quote by Elisabeth Elliot. Friends, Go

I love this quote by Elisabeth Elliot. Friends, God cares about us. He cares about what happens to us. He’s here to help us through the hard things and rejoice with us over the good things.

I’m keeping this in mind as I get ready to go to the clinic for another test this afternoon. This one is a stress echocardiogram. My doctor is sure it will be fine, but I have to go through it anyway, just to make sure. I’m thankful for his thoroughness, but I’m also not looking forward to having another echocardiogram in the middle of a stress test. Oh, who am I kidding? The echocardiogram is easy, it’s the stress test part I’m not looking forward to! Yet I know Jesus will be with me and we’ll get through this together. He is good, always!

What are you trusting God for today? How can I pray for you?

Last week we had Bible study at my friend Teresa’s place instead of the coffee shope like usual. Teresa owns @cottage_winery_and_vineyard. It sits on top of a hill and looks like something out of a fairy tale. I’m in love with the place! Last week she gave us the grand tour of the areas we hadn’t been on previous visits and areas we have been, but that were looking gorgeous in all their summer glory.

Of course I brought my camera along and had so much fun taking pictures. When I have a camera in my hand I get lost in a magical world that I can only see through my lens. With God’s help, the photographs I take can give others a glimpse of this magical world we live in.

As I walked through paths lined with grape vines and Queen Anne’s Lace, I enjoyed the warm sun and a cooling breeze. I intentionally looked for beauty and little details. @authorcarolinegeorge wrote on Instagram the other day, life is in the details. (If you’re not following her, do it! She’s getting real on social media and it’s beautiful and inspiring.)

Friends, life is beautiful. Have you noticed? I challenge you to look at your ordinary and find something extraordinary in it. Then come back here and share the beauty God showed you!
