  • January 24, 2026 Well, the ‘ol thermometer reads -15 degrees outside. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out it’s plum cold outside with the 5-10 mph breeze out of the west! Miss Deb and I are to meet with a family right at 30 miles to the north-west of us at 1:30 today, hopefully…

  • January 23, 2026 Good morning! I’m sorry about not writing yesterday. Our day was consumed with being too busy baking and making yesterday. This morning, the ground is completely white outside, with more of that fun stuff coming before today is over and then 8 degrees below zero for a low tonight. Oh ya, let’s…

  • 1/21/2026 Cold and windy with a skift of snow. Looks and feels like winter. I turn the furnace down each evening before calling it a day, so it was a bit chilly in this ‘ol shack at 3:30 this morning when the Lord nudged me in the ribs. As such, I pulled the covers up…

  • January 20, 2026 When I got up at 4 a.m. the outside temperature was 20 degrees, after an hour of study, I’m now writing this note at 5 a.m. with a temp of 15 degrees. It always gets colder before daylight! This morning’s study started in Ephesians 2:1-3, stop and give it a good read.…

  • January 19, 2026 Good morning all. A cool 15 degrees here at 4 a.m., headed for a high of 38 with wind gusts to match the high. This morning, I visited with the Lord for an hour or so and then came to this computer, continuing to pray that the Holy Spirit would let me…

  • January 18, 2026 Yep, more wind. Years ago, the old timers told me that this is how the Dirty Thirties started. I’m sure enough praying this wind to stop, and for moisture to start soon. Take a gander at the photo at the bottom of this post and tell me how difficult your life is.…

  • January 17, 2026 It’s a whopping 4 degrees with a 15-mph breeze, making it plumb cold out there. Today’s high of 17 is warm for most Januarys, but I’m comfortable with the 50’s we’ve been having. Yet it looks like He has given us another day, it’s our job to do something good with it.…

  • January 16, 2026 Well, Mr. Weatherman says it feels like 2 degrees out there, but the bigger danger is that a person could blow away, 36 mph sustained winds with 75 mph gusts. I knew that extra weight would come in handy at some time! With all of this tough winter weather today, let’s take…

  • January 15, 2026 Tie down and hang on. It’s 40 degrees at 5 a.m., headed for 51. By this time tomorrow it’s supposed to be 16 degrees, headed for 27 with 74 mph wind gusts! If a feller needs to get something done outside today, he best get after it, the wind gust are only…

  • January 14, 2026 Well, it’s 30 degrees here in Lusk right now, headed for a high of 53, with only 30 mph wind gusts. But for the next three days the wind is supposed to blow. Sounds like more dust and dry. Allow me to work with this pressure idea for one more day, please.…
