A Cold Day When Snow Still Covered The Ground
Thursday, February 12th was a cold day when snow still covered the ground. It is gradually getting warmer, so this scene will slowly melt away from us. It won’t be too many more weeks before we can sit here and enjoy a greener view. This scene has lingered much longer than many of the past […]

Today Would Have Been My Grandma Hawthorne’s 128th Birthday
For some reason her birthday on February 16 always brings memories of her to my attention. I may remember her birthdate because it was only eight days after my birthday. Most of my memories of her are from after they moved off the farm – to a house that was built on a section of […]
We Have Been Waiting for This Place to Open
I just noticed on our local Facebook page that the opening was yesterday – February 13. We met Mervin and Betsy last fall during committee meetings for a benefit truck show and learned about their plans to build a place for their catering business and a place to pick up many of their food creations.

A Male, Red-bellied Woodpecker at Our Suet

Winter Walking is Good for the Body and Soul
I am not a winter walker, but I was kind of “jealous” of her courage to walk on a cold snowy day. I am a warm weather walker, so choose the treadmill on cold days, but I think my lungs and mind miss out on something by not choosing this. She must have felt invigorated […]
Celebrating My Birthday at The Gaucho’s Way Brazilian Restaurant
February 8 We took our children here just after noon yesterday. Oh, what fun we had. Roy, Deb, Kristen, Jere, Jeff, Cerwin and me. When a young waiter saw me taking the previous picture, he asked if he could take a picture that included me. It appeared that he had never used a camera like […]

I Started Celebrating My Birthday Two Days Early
Friday February 6 We started the day at Brickerville House Restaurant for a brunch with several of my siblings. We get together close to the ladies’ birthdays each year. For several years it was just the ladies, then last year we added the guys. It doesn’t always suit the men. Yesterday it was Cerwin and […]
