When one of the first sounds I hear in the morning is coffee grinding, and the man grinding it is a firmly acclaimed Coffee Non-drinker, I know- this is what love sounds like.

Thanksgiving Day Thanks
In this Moment of Quiet on Thanksgiving Day
Tuesday, November 15, 2022
Beef up your Thanksgiving!
This little ditty flew off my brain in the middle of the night, when I was trying to write a marketing email for our beef.
If you actually ARE interested in our beef, you can visit millerfamilyhomestead.com
__________
Cows don't fly
And the facts don't lie
The risk of Beef having Bird Flu
Is not very high.
Instead of a Thanksgiving Turkey or Ham
The Millers can help make a better plan!
Roasted Beef Roast, grilled Ribeye, Sirloin or Filet,
Are fit for the In-Laws who come on that day.
Dried Beef & cheese sandwiches, Beef Dogs, and Sticks
Chili and jerky can add to the mix.
Smoked Short Ribs or Brisket-
Oh, how you could fix it!
A big, juicy burger, a big pot of Beef Stew
Would be perfect to warm up the really cold you!
Fajitas with flank steak, Bologna with cheese
You can serve up a feast with the greatest of ease!
Beef bacon for breakfast, Steak for lunch,
Tacos for supper- munch, munch, munch, munch, munch!
We’ll even bring your meat right to your house!
So get gas for the grill, and talk to your spouse.
If you order by Saturday, November nineteen,
We'll bring it to you before Thanksgiving- yippee!
So shoot me an email or give me a call.
Your Beefed-up Thanksgiving will be greatest of all!

DAY TEN: Today I noticed...
Day Ten
Today I noticed that, even though arts and crafts are generally my nemesis, I was able to complete a couple 10 minute projects (with the supplies and ideas provided) without making this world an uglier place to live.
I noticed a few tender moments between siblings.
I noticed that it's the 10th day of my 10 day challenge. I have enjoyed this little mental exercise immensely; thanks for walking along with me!

DAY NINE: Today I noticed...
Today I noticed how lovely rain sounds. I almost forgot!
I noticed how refreshing it was to sit down and eat a meal together with my family.
I noticed the striking resemblance a field radish bears to a field mouse. Only the whiskers are at the wrong end.
I noticed the joy when a child starts to grasp the building blocks of reading.
I noticed that the 3 year-old is telling his own bedtime stories to himself.
I noticed the adoring eyes of Baby Girl, who finally gets to fall asleep in Daddy's arms again.

DAY EIGHT: Today I noticed....
Today I noticed how very very ready I am to return to regular sit-down meals with our family. This has been a beautiful harvest time, and the weather has been amazing. We're done with our own harvest but today Craig harvested someone else's beans. Plus we have All These Calves (58 on bucket/bottle is latest count) we have committed to keep alive! Somewhere in the middle of the muddle, mealtimes have gone kuh-plew-ee, and we all eat when and where we're able.
Our "normal" is to eat 3 sit-down meals a day, starting with breakfast after chores are done. Seasons like this help me realize the blessings of this routine.
I always have had an admiration for the strength of single moms who carry the heavy weight of All the Everything. I don't personally do well when All the Everything lands on me for very long. I welcome the close of Harvest, when Daddy Time is a little more readily accessible.

Day Seven
Today I noticed the creativity of our 5 year old.
He always chooses brilliantly vibrant colors that match his personality: energetic and a bit unpredictable, but never lacking in imaginative expression.
