Nature’s Raw Materials

From early this morning until nightfall, I’ve listened to the comments from many people regarding the outcome of Tuesday’s election. I mostly listened while nearly everyone was saying how crazy the whole process was this time around. I clearly remembered and article that was published online several weeks before the election that centered aroun … continue reading

Leafless Tree Branches

Well, it looks like we have a new Commander in Chief elected along with some faces that’ll be changing on our local levels. I believe the real driving force of the electorate this time around was their burning desire for change. There were far more “shadow” voters turning out who finally spoke their minds via the ballot box. Whenever there ar … continue reading

Grapes of Wrath

When the sun rises tomorrow morning, all of this election “gooey gunk” will be finally over. I’m still in disbelief how many nasty statements were made and actually went to press. There’s got to be some straightening out along with raising the bar on what is acceptable and what isn’t while on campaign trails. There’s been way too much s … continue reading

A Bowl of Jelly Beans

Today was another example of what happens the Monday after daylight savings time takes place. There are likely many who have similar reactions where everything feels “off” because of that one hour having been moved forward or back. While working away, I kept having that “feeling” it was later than it actually was. It seemed as though noon w … continue reading

Norma’s Buddy

This was one of those days where I absolutely had to take the full day off from everything I’ve been normally doing on Sunday and get some much belated projects of my own back on track. I thought it was going to be an “all about me” day until I was side-tracked by familiars. Seeing a dear lady I’ve known for a long time out on her front por … continue reading

Crescent Moon Rising

Oh what a beautiful day we had again today! Unfortunately I wasn’t outdoors as much as I would’ve liked due to appointments, but I did make up for it late this afternoon by spending about 45 minutes walking in and around the old-growth timber that’s part of the 8 acre acreage I have listed at 305 N. 1st St. in Fertile. I always tell people th … continue reading

Becoming A Reality

Every day that passes where the temperature has risen above 70 degrees, will transform a normally dark and cold November into a memorable experience. I was surprised when driving past the Downtown office of First Citizen’s Bank when seeing their marquis reading 75 degrees. I should have suspected so after seeing earlier several young men walking … continue reading

Emotional Volcanos

No matter how hard we try, there seems to be those times when we’re sucked into the drama pit of others, and when you start pulling yourself up and out, you hear the deafening voices behind you screaming, “You have to stay here and share in our miseries!” Without a question, I’m convinced misery loves company, and all the more, the better. … continue reading

Lost Recipes

With it being such a hectic day today, I decided to go back to the lunch counter I visited several days ago to purchase the same simple burrito I ordered at that time.  I gave the order to a different face at the counter and after writing up the ticket he told me how much I owed.  I was flabbergast by the price and said, “Are you sure that’s … continue reading

Misty Morn

Whew! It was an unbelievable day today to where I was about five minutes away from being late for just about every appointment. Can you believe it’s November 1st considering the beautiful day that unfolded? Of course I didn’t want to be too much out in the grassy areas because the jiggers are still at it. I couldn’t believe how they came afte … continue reading
