Where has Linda Been?

I just logged into my Blog for the first time in a year! No particular reason I stopped posting. Just off my radar, I guess. Been a busy and amazing 2016. Our publishing company has flourished and we sold our very first crop of grapes from our commercial red wine grape vineyard, that was totally cool! My wellness biz has been on the back burner, but will be front and center in 2017.

Our son, Danner continues to command his world. We are very proud of the man he has become. Having him as our country neighbor has its perks: we co-own lots of light and heavy equipment and he fixes everything we break, plows our long drive in the winter, enthusiastically discusses politics, world news and nonsense with his mom (and dad!), while stealing our coffee and beer. The love of his life is a wonderful gal and makes him very happy.

In 2016, I lost my beloved horse, Shooter to chronic wasting disease. I am still, and will be forever, brokenhearted. First time in almost 40 years, I do not have a horse to adore and have adventures with. Part of my being is missing, but for now we added a new donkey... everyone should have at least two donks! Our pup, Tucker still rules the roost and every witch requires at least two black cats, as do I. So our house and hearts are full going into the wane of 2016.

The wood is stacked, the flue cleaned, the windows washed, the rugs washed and back down, thermo heaters in the barn water trough and bird bath, tons and tons of leaves raked and burned, winter sweaters ready. Today, was the first hard freeze here. Very late, but not complaining. Here's Grandma Linnea's garden. Turned into Morticia Adams' garden this morn! LOL   


Soooo, will be back to blogging and look forward to your contributions and comments. Enjoy the quiet moments and sing out loud (remembering and listening to Leonard Cohen today)! 
hugs, linda
