Finally, I completed the last project involved in transferring to this new website. I organized and set up the old gardening articles from the past two years. My blog started as simply a place to record my garden adventures, but obviously ended up covering many more topics. On the menu bar at the Home page,…
I took a second look at my road trip photos this morning and I will be going back to the Majestic Plains point of interest on a nicer day. Although this shot in not composed well, it has so much potential: the old wind mill in the foreground and the massive power lines heading into…
I had a minister meeting in Greely, CO this morning. It’s about a two-hour drive from Wheatland. I did different back roads each way. Photos are not great –besides my lack of skill, the lighting was off all day due to storms. Shortly after I crossed the Colorado border I stopped at one of those…
At night I toss and turn. Even Tango gets tired of it and jumps off the bed for a more still corner. Then as I am starting to awaken, I turn over once more into a little ball and try to get a few more zzzzz. You probably care little about my sleeping habits, so take…
I am always so moved when I officiate at a local graveside service. I feel tossed back in time, to the days when pioneers stood on the high plains and buried their own. This morning the snowy setting was so peaceful. Across the cemetery to the south, a horse grazed through the snow. Somehow it…
Well, despite the Mother’s Day snow storm, 28 degree lows tonight, and a broken camper–all potentially attitude busters, I am making some forward progress. Thanks to friends who figured it all out, the solar system is ready for the first test. Below is that panel. It is up against a love seat, which gives you…
Huh… are you sure this is not February??? There will be no planting of tomatoes or flowers today! Oh well, it is still a good day because all the farmer’s and ranchers love this moisture.
I know, I know. I post my religious stuff at the other blog (ReverendJane.wordpress.com). But I just have to comment here on the beliefs of the Benham Brothers, who were recently booted off HGTV. I applaud HGTV. I want to sing from the mountaintop: the Benham brand of Christianity hurts people and gives the rest…
Expanding on the simple backpack carried by most school kids, David Fischer changed life for people who must carry their daily cooking and drinking water. His newly designed PackH2O allows a person to carry 5 gallons of water and keep it clean en route. Fischer developed the backpack after watching women in Haiti carry water…
I read a Denver newspaper online. Increasingly, I see articles about pot–a mixture of regulatory news, health scares about eating potent marijuana cookies, and feature articles. Earlier this week someone stole a whole load of legal pot plants. Now: recipes to satisfy the munchies. The Denver Post has a direct link to the Cannabist, a free…
