Döstädning (DOH-sted-ning) is a term for Swedish Death Cleaning. Sounds morbid, but it’s actually a practical perspective on decluttering while you are alive to lessen the burden on your family/loved ones after you die. I recently read a book by Messie Condo (I’m presuming not her real name??) called Nobody Wants Your Sh*t. She didContinue reading “Until Death Do Us Part”

Not much is new, really. Aging of all living things, except green things that have been planted since we moved; a couple trees and the plants that grow in the greenhouse. Though they are still aging, just not as old as me 🙂 But wow, time flies! Where have I been? Sometimes I wonder thatContinue reading “What’s New at the PoshRanch?”

Yep, you read that right; my dog is taking Prozac for anxiety. Believe me, I never thought I would actually be typing that. I didn’t even know until recently that some human mood drugs can be used for dogs too, at different dosages. Here’s the story. This is my beautiful dog, Kinnon. Incidentally Kinnon wasContinue reading “My Dog is on Prozac”

The Poshranch is 1 year old! I haven’t felt like writing this blog for many months. Not sure why, but considering it’s been just over a year since we moved to the wild, wild west (hold the phone….we moved almost straight north of where we used to live so why is Wyoming considered more western??)Continue reading “Blah, Blah, Blog”

Good day everyone!! It seems like it has been forever since I have written a blog. Well, it hasn’t been forever, but it has been a few months. I just haven’t had the inspiration/motivation to write lately. But I wanted to make a special announcement. We are ready for visitors! Yes, I know, some ofContinue reading “Poshranch Special Guests”

I originally started writing this blog to sort of make fun of myself in that I am not outdoorsy (I think in a previous post I mentioned the coaster I have that says “I’m outdoorsy in that I like drinking on patios…” and I don’t really do yardwork. Not that I can’t, I just don’tContinue reading “Doody Duty”

I haven’t written in awhile. I have lots of ideas floating around in my head, but haven’t sat down to actually put them in writing recently. My son started high school, I started a new job, and life gets in the way. I’ve been consumed by the routines and monotony of daily life, which hasContinue reading “Sometimes It’s the Small Things”

Bird of prey: a carnivorous bird (such as a hawk, eagle, vulture, or owl) that feeds wholly or chiefly on meat taken by hunting or on carrion (Macmillan online dictionary). A couple of nights ago we were sitting at one of our new favorite breweries (https://accomplicebeer.com/) (Great place by the way, food and beer!), andContinue reading “Attack on the Poshranch!”

As most of you know, this time of year is back to school time. Even though this year is different in many ways because of current events, it is still back to school in some form for all students. I strive to keep my blog lighthearted and fun and I do not want to useContinue reading “Last of First”

Tractor: noun▸a vehicle used on farms, for example to pull machines (Macmillan Dictionary) One thing that I never thought I’d be the proud owner of is a tractor. I know nothing about tractors, zero, nada; except maybe that farms use them. If you’ve read my previous blogs you know that I consider myself to liveContinue reading “JD’s Journey”
