Good morning, and hello, Tuesday! It is the last day of May, 2022, and I’m just getting my day going. Looks like it’s going to be another gray rainy day here in rural Douglas County, but at least I won’t have to worry about watering the trees out in the orchard. Or anything else for …

It is Monday, May 30, Memorial Day… the day we pause and reflect, a time for us to recognize those who have given so much for the freedom and the country we live in today. Normally, we think about soldiers, and front-line folks that fought in wars… people like a 3x great grandfather of mine …

Good morning, folks. It’s a beautiful, albeit windy, Sunday in rural Douglas County. Apologies for not posting yesterday. Lisa and I started off the day going to the garden center, and the day just kind of slipped away from me from there. After my morning with Lisa, Dane and I went out for lunch. Buskerfest …

It is Friday, May 27th, and I am thankful for the last day in my work week.

It is Tuesday morning, May 24, and this month is going by quickly. Hard to believe that Memorial Day is this coming Monday and June is right around the corner. The weather forecast has us slated for up to 3 inches of rain today. We don’t really need it right now, but I’m sure there …

It is Monday night, May 23, 2022, and I’m kind of kicking back on a Monday night. Lisa and I decided to watch some basketball tonight, so rather than watch the NBA playoffs, we decided to watch the second half of the KU-North Carolina National Championship game from last month. Man, oh man, was that …

It is Sunday night, May 22, and it’s been a day. It hasn’t been a really busy day, more of a relaxing day with a chance to get caught up and to unwind a bit. This week will be my last week with my blended learning course. It works out OK as far as time …

It is Saturday, May 21, 2022, and I am exhausted. I woke in good time this morning, around 7 AM, which isn’t too bad for a Saturday… sleeping in relative to my regular wake-up time of 5:30 AM during the workweek. Lisa made a great breakfast, we watched one of our regular morning television shows, …
