You just can’t never tell.
That’s a southern saying I’ve heard my whole life. I hadn’t used it very much until I moved out to the country. Now I rather like it. It just fits some things. Like…
Spring has really sprung around here.
I find myself basking in the warm sunlight, thinking of where to plant a garden, NOT MISSING the SNOW!
What?! Me? NOT missing the snow?! That’s crazy talk.
But true. I’m not. It was wonderful while it lasted. But I’m okay with the arrival of warm spring weather. Even my daughter and Blue, the dog, were out in the front meadow spinning and dancing with joy on our first warm, sunny day. (Can you see the flower headband around her head? My flower, hippy farm child.)
See? You just can’t never tell. We loved our first winter here at the farm. But looks like we’re going to love our spring too!
Love you Rebekah. Glad you’re feeling better and you are smiling with the spring flowers.
Yum, your bread is beautiful, you can almost taste it from the Ozarks!
Just recovered myself from some kind of virus, thought I was going to be behind planting our gardens, but come to find out our temps will drop tomorrow 50 degrees, from the 80’s to the 30’s, with severe weather coming too!
So, getting sick was actually a blessing in a way, I would have planted and lost
my plants in one night!
Sourdough bread is what has been baking here at our house in Noel, 2 loaves a week, from a simple starter that can be made with whole wheat, it is yummy.
Your "flower hippie farm child" looks as free as the wind, she is one blessed girl to grow up on the farm!
Keep smiling, hugs from the Ozarks! Diana
Nope You can’t never tell. We had a few days of Spring and starting last night we have 65-70 mph wind and way below 0. Had much damage to the area and supposed to still get snow – eweeee you say DRIFTS. SO your message has warmed the cold corner of computer area and my heart is hopeful that we too will see the beautiful flowers blooming and children playing in the fields. Ain’t it JUST to have that wonderful experience for your daughter – ahhhh. Sorry you got the flu – I had it too – not sure where it came from but sure was no fun. Thanks again for the visit. God Bless
I’m glad to hear the horses are recovering and so are you. Now you can share the taste of the lovely rosemary bread!
Hey Lady, glad you are feeling better. I had the weirdest stomach flu earlier in the winter. I won’t go into details in case you are eating breakfast, but it was weird! I’m thinking when "you can’t never tell" was invented, people didn’t know about double negatives. But…who knows… You can’t never tell about where those sayings first came from. I was thinking the other day..why is, "why did the chicken cross the road?" Such a popular saying. And I wonder who first said it and if they knew it would be around forever when they said it. I know…weird I would think that, huh? I’m with you on the blood and such. I don’t even watch a person get a shot on TV without closing my eyes! But…when my little Oscar (mini-dach God rest his soul) had to be in the hospital for several days, and I was single and poor, after day five I said I was going to have to bring him home and tend to him myself, IV and all, they were going to let me. I used to put gel on a dog I had with a skin condition too. You know what they say "Love conquers all."Hmmm wonder who ever said that first…..

Ps. I have been way too busy lately getting house in town ready to sell, but I’m going to go get my shower now so I can be ready to dance in my bee yard when the sun comes up. Yay for spring weather! My favorite!
