Mr. Farmer has yet to cultivate the field next to the barndo. I keep waiting for him to turn under the winter wheat crop and plant this year's crop. Hoping for corn... Tons of chicken shit was spread across the field and winter wheat was planted late last fall. It was...
Pinto ASNns, cornbread, and a green onion from Mr. Pesky's garden was on the menu last night. You know your preparation of the comfort dish is outstanding when you have an audience just waiting for a bite. It's not the cottage cheese or green onion Dharma had her...
We mowed the grass at the barndo just 3 days ago. Since that time, it's rained every day. Look at the yard -- it needs to be mowed. How are we supposed to keep up? Spring is rough on those of us with big ole' yards. If you wait too long, you need a hay baler. But you...

Of course, there are a ton of things that are done differently depending upon if you live in a city or town -- or if your lifestyle is rural in nature. I do something here that I would NEVER do if I had neighbors or was close enough to a roadway for it to be seen. I...
The eclipse is visible tomorrow here in the Ville. There are those making a very big deal out of it, and others that think it's foolish to care. Our local bank is closing their doors for the entire day because of it. I think the eclipse is causing excess rain and...
