Sadie

January 30, 2015 (today) was the last day we had with Sadie Lou.  She was a wonderful dog, and will be greatly missed.  Click on "read more" for photos.  She was a part of our family in so many ways.  She was the "mother" to all.  She was the protector to Oldest Daughter.  She was greatly loved.

I will be remembering your daughter. May god wrap his love around her and comfort her.

I am so sorry to hear that this time has come. It is always a sad time but one where we need to remember the times that they were enjoying all that they loved. Sadie was happy because of all of you allowing her to share your life. She smiled with each pat on the head and "good girl" that she was given. And she praise was what she lived for, and what you each gave so freely. And she in return gave licks and nudges and love in her own special way.

I am so sorry for your loss, what a dear sweet dog, she clearly was a happy, much loved member of your family. The photos bring back memories for me of my family's pets, past and present. You all, especially your daughter will be in my thoughts and prayers.

So sorry for your loss. I was afraid for you, when I read about the pale gums. Our older dog had that and had cancer in her spleen. Common sadly. You can know you gave her a great home...

Sending my hugs and healing thoughts to all of you. Your daughter (and all of you) gave Sadie such a good, good life. And, of course, she gave so much right back to you. I'm very glad your daughter was able to be home to help Sadie on her way to another wonderful life. It's so hard losing a pet who is truly part of the family.

Sending healing thoughts to your daughter.
Thank you all! Yesterday was a very quiet, sad, and difficult day. I'm sure our oldest daughter will have a few weeks or mourning.

RIP Sadie. And hugs to you all.
Lovely set of pictures, what a beautiful dog Sadie was.

Awww, I am so sorry. My heart aches with yours.
The best thing we can do when we lose someone dear to us is shift all of our focus to the good times we had with them. I pray you and your family are soon able to do that.

God bless.

I don't know how I missed this post, but I am so sorry I did. It wasn't until I read you latest one that I realized Sadie had died. I am so sorry for your daughter and all of you. Even knowing that you have given her a lifetime of love, cared for her, did your best, it still leaves such a big, achy hole in your heart. Love to you all.

  The pickings are slim right now, but we'll take anything we are blessed with.  I made a salad and cleaned the beans.  The rain will give us more for a meal in a day or so.  The green beans are every so slowly coming on this season. I made a batch of homemade granola, and instead of my homemade vanilla extract, I used my homemade Christmas Spice Extract.  It smelled so good in the oven, and while cooling.   I picked some purslane, and am doing an experiment with it this time.  Update soon.   Chit Chat ©  August 2026 by Kristina at Pioneer Woman at Heart

I've Been MIA and Heat Wave

First day of July.  It's hot.   I'm definitely not entering a stage of boredom any day soon.  Although I've been doing a lot, it's been productive.  We are in the middle of the worst heat wave I can ever remember.  So humid, there is very little to no work being done in the gardens for the last few days.  Heat index has been up to 106 degrees, and nights did not get any cooler than about  77 degrees.  The heat wave will continue for the rest of the week.  No rain yet. I froze water in small bottles to keep the chickens water cold, and froze treats for them. I canned a small batch of reduced sugar peach jam (before the heat  wave).  I have to admit, it's been very nice to can for two people now.   Enjoyed the last of our asparagus harvest.  The last two stalks were harvested June 29th.  The longest asparagus season we've ever had.  They look light colored, but taking them out of the fridge, they quickly...

  Over the last 20 plus years, my baking utensil drawer and my smaller kitchen drawer were a piled mess, due to the space in the kitchen.  I'm so glad I was limited to indoor work (while my eye regains better sensitivity to light), as I dumped both drawers and purged them.   We allowed kids to move back in, after moving out (something my own Mother would not allow me to do as a young adult), and they brought their belongings with them.  Belongings often included kitchen items, and without my knowledge, they filled the kitchen drawers with extra items. Our local schools are doing a contest for a thrift store.  Each school is collecting donations, and they are weighed for this collection contest.  I have filled two boxes of items to donate, that are extra here, or not used any longer.   I wonder what other stuff I'll discover? 42°F this morning (feels like 40°F).  High of 74°F.
