I am at a loss of exactly what to do. I am going to discontinue my amigo.net email address. That happens to be the name this blog is under.
I have gone in & tried to change it, but I'm told that I cannot change it as that is its "name". I think I changed my contact information.............will double check that. Anyway I don't know if I can continue to get into here once I cancel amigo or not...............
If anyone knows anything about this, please feel free to contact me at:
wcouzenssmith@gmail.com
I will keep trying to figure it out & see what I can do. Maybe I can get in here forever & the corgimom is my "login"...............??? BUT if I disappear at some point that's what happened & I will have to start all over (perish the thought).

November
November is the best and worst month. It is good because it is my birthday month. It is good because my sister and my daughter were born this month.
But there are many sad things about November.
Although my daughter didn't die until December 2nd, November still holds memories of her. She was born just before Thanksgiving & died just after.
My father died two days after Thanksgiving in 2005.
My husband died today, 11/18 in 2008.
My mother died 11/3, 3 days before my birthday in 2009.
But I do praise God that He is in all of this & He brings healing & love.
November might be sad............but it is good..........a month of Thanksgiving for what I do have, for where I have been and where He is leading me.

Fixing things around the Farm
August has been an interesting month. I had a friend ask if I needed a "hired man" around some. We had a email discussion about the possibility. My friend, Greg, has a full time job but wants to get back on the farm a little. I grew up with two of his Aunts & know the family pretty well. Greg sold Dennis most all of his farm equipment.
It has been working out well so far. I'm getting caught up. Willie is helping Greg and Greg can give Willie guidance, direction & work well. Greg has helped re-stack some hay & then load hay that I sold on the trailer. He has helped work on removing much of the metal fencing and putting portions back up. He has helped with Dennis' raised beds in his garden. When Dennis put the raised beds in, he put down the wrong kind of barrier in the rows where you walk. Grass has been awful & continually we have had to dig out the grass to use the garden. This year it was too much for me to even start to deal with. The raised beds were full of grass, thistle, & white top. The raised beds are now gone. I'm working on killing the Canadian Thistle & getting rid of the grass. We will see where things go from here as far as a garden next year.
Greg has been a tremendous help with the physical things. He is also pretty good working with Willie (when Willie works). It actually makes me feel like I have accomplished some major items this August. I'm still working on spraying for thistle. We did not do this in the past due to the sensitivity of the alpacas to various poisons. But now I really need to work on getting rid of the stuff. It is awful.
I've about sold all the first cutting from my hay. My cabin is almost done up at Hermit Lakes. So far so good!! I can smell fall in the air.
