I think the granddaughters help as well. December 5 – Heze and Kayla thought about our birds when they […]

Sunset

She said we could and that she and Larry had already gotten a few to use as stepping stones in a […]
The Demise of a Ninety-Year-Old Silo
Tuesday, December 1 and Thursday, December 3 When I learned that the 90-year-old silo was being taken down at the homestead, I knew I wanted to document it.
