Light at the End of the Tunnel!

February 2, 2020 By Sherri

70 degrees today! Snow tomorrow, but the days are getting longer, bringing me more sunshine and freedom!

When the sun sets early, I get less sunshine, have to put the outdoor animals away at night (vs my hubby) and it is virtually impossible to get to appointments and back in time to put up the animals (can’t get to an appointment earlier in the day due to my illness).

AND! Daylight Saving Time is coming soon, which is life changing for me! I am seeing the “light” at the end of the tunnel! Wahoo!

Spring Flowers to Color My Winter

January 30, 2020 By Sherri

My hubby gave me these flowers to bring some color to my Winter! I never liked spending money on flowers. But 2 weeks later, they still look great! Thank you, Hubby! Might just have to make this a thang! 💖🤗💖

Keep the Dandelions – Feed the Bees!

June 17, 2019 By Sherri

I love this! We feed the bees in the Spring! Sometimes I even use the dandelions in smoothies for a great blood detox. And when the dandelions are done blooming, we mow them.

No sprays, no harm to bees, birds, pets or people! Just pretty little yellow flowers to enjoy for a short while!

More information about our endangered bees.

Safari Sherri Found Some Fitover Sunglasses

March 14, 2017 By Sherri

LOOK what I found (first photo). Because of my glasses prescription, I always have to buy 2 or 3 pairs of VERY expensive glasses and that does not include sunglasses.


I do get transitions, but they only do so much and are smaller
than what are in style. So, I always get cheap over the glasses sunglasses, like elderly people wear (second picture).

Today I found these and ordered them! Safari Sherri is ready for Spring!

Wahoo! I Made it Through Winter!

March 12, 2017 By Sherri

WOWEE! I made it through Winter and into Daylight Saving Time!

The Winter was mild, but I got the flu, bronchial pneumonia, dislocated ribs and torn rib cartilage from coughing. I am on week 7 of this stuff, because I am still dealing with a lingering cough and torn ribs (which I just tore and dislocated again a couple of days ago). But the GREAT news is that today is the first day of Daylight Saving Time!

 
I know many don’t like losing an hour of sleep. But try to remember you gain one later and that we actual gain 238 hours of extra sunshine in the evenings! This is extra time outside when you get off work and when kids get out of school!
 
For me, this means: More sunshine, time outside, time with my animals, time to BBQ, time for appointments and outings for Wayne and me (don’t have to be home so early to put up the animals), time outside after my hubby gets home from work, more dopamine, more serotonin, more vitamin D and it marks a turning point day for me to look forward to Spring and Summer, warmer weather and hopefully swimming!!! … Must I go on?
 
Wahoo!!!!

I Made It Through Another Winter

March 12, 2016 By Sherri

Daylight Savings 2016

I MADE IT THROUGH ANOTHER WINTER! Hallelujah! Tonight we turn our clocks forward for Daylight Savings Time!

For me, this means: More sunshine, time outside, time with my animals, time to BBQ, time for appointments and outings for Wayne and me (don’t have to be home so early to put up the goats), time outside after my hubby gets home from work, more dopamine, serotonin, energy at night and it marks a turning point day for me to look forward to Spring and Summer, warmer weather and swimming!!! … Must I go on?

♡☆♡☆♡☆♡☆♡ Wahoo!!!!

PS) For all of you who whine about losing an hour of sleep, try to remember you gain one later. It is worth the 238 hours of extra sunshine in the evening when you get off work and your kids get out of school!
