Six thirty pm on Good Friday. Sun is shining in my western windows. It’s cold. There is a fire going. I’m sucking on a starburst mint. Hans is on the floor. Gracie and Jim are getting ready...

That’s the way it goes folks. You never can be sure of what life offers. If this place can keep going, I will be very happy. I like it here. If it falls apart, I guess I can handle that too...

As you knew I’d be. I’ll miss this place. I really liked it. I liked its fresh look, its ease, the way the notes work. I like the big white bare screen and the entries from previous years on t...

I got up early this morning with a million things to write about ..... and then just let the time fritter away. And now it’s noon. Jim and the neighbor down stream have gone to landowner’s app...

Kids brought me a fresh stack of gently aged New Yorkers and Rolling Stones. Can’t beat slightly out of date magazines - like men with three to five day beards. More texture, less immediacy. Y...

Someone whose opinion I respect told me I was too political. What do you think?

Mid afternoon. Kids didn’t come down this weekend. John is working on his remodeling project and there is just a bit left to do. It’s their first weekend after the play (2 weeks ago) and the b...

DO YOU LIVE IN A HOUSE OR AN APARTMENT? A farmhouse. WOULD YOU SAY IT IS BIG OR SMALL? It’s big but it doesn’t have a lot of usable space. DO YOU HAVE A DISHWASHER OR DO YOU HAVE TO DO YOUR DISH...

I woke up to this at three or so this morning. [[https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/in-fundraising-speech-trump-says-he-made-up-facts-in-meeting-with-justin-trudeau/ar-BBKeeiY?li=BBmkt5R&...

I got my new computer Sunday and I’m pretty happy with it. In fact it’s a very nice computer. An HP, which I’d never had before. It doesn’t seem to have a name, which is ok. It’s black, fairl...

.... just that I’m still the same as always. Ah - here’s an picture from two years ago. And another.

Here is a good news story from my beloved Fayze’s.

This is the day last fall when Gracie’s dad Rowdy came to visit. He followed Jim’s combine home when he confused it with his own. Not the best picture - but it’s Rowdy on the left by the combine...

I’m drinking my 50/50 coffee/milk out of an old jam glass. It is a very pleasant tepid temperature and the flavor is nice .... a little livelier than milk and lot more calm than coffee. I’m t...

(I’ll be back with my answers in a bit.) Do you iron? If so, how often? How much? Do you make your bed? If so, how often? To what extent? Do you wash dishes by hand or by machine? Does it bothe...

I still feel awful. And scared.

This is Thursday August 24th and I am optimistic. It’s 6:17 according to my computer and the sky is getting light in the east. The dogs want me to get moving. I took a bath this morning and ki...

I probably planted this daylily twenty years ago. I rarely remember the names of plants but this one struck me. I wondered if it was racist to name the darkest of daylilies after a minstrel. ...

Does anyone buy food as in groceries on line? If so, how does it work and how do you like it? My grandmother would call the grocery store most mornings and give her order. One of the grocery bo...

This is a weight for the front end of a tractor. The two cab tractors and the 1256 all have brackets on the front from which to hang weights. We have almost a dozen of them. They each weigh a...

What can I do?

The vet was out to see a cow yesterday and we sought free advice on Gracie’s aging and well used joints. He said we could give her an aspirin on days she seemed a little stiff. He said she was...
