  • December 10, 2025 Looks like we are jumping into two more days of stiff breeze. I reckon when the wind gusts are over 100 miles an hour, the wind is officially blowing! But with three days of strong wind, we will really appreciate it when the wind comes back down to 12-15 miles per hour.…

  • December 9, 2025 Weather report: The wind gusts are almost twice the high temperature for today! I’ll be wearing a cap and not my Stetson when I go outside. Today is the birthday of our youngest child, Happy Birthday Son! Miss Deb and I were just blessed to get to visit with him and his…

  • December 8, 2025 On our way to church yesterday morning, there was a beautiful sundog in the eastern sky. It was located north of the sun, which is usually read as cold weather on the horizon. If a sundog is south of the sun, warmer weather can be expected. Yet, over my years of walking…

  • December 7, 2025 With two inches of fresh snow, 28 degrees at 4 a.m. and the hope of 42 for a high, what a great day to enjoy the fellowship of other Christ-followers! Yes sir, this is a great Sunday to put on your fancy duds and head to your local church. You may ask…

  • December 6, 2025 We are at 32 degrees, headed for 43, with wind, snow and maybe rain later. You go WYO! Last night and today, Miss Deb and I are at a Trade Fair with a some of her embroidery items. If the name of this event was made up of biblical words, we would…

  • December 5, 2025 Good morning all. A beautiful 32 degrees at daylight! When the sun gets up, she will add six more degrees to the ‘ol thermometer for today’s high. Yesterday was kind of a rough day around here. Coffee, our Border collie, ate something she shouldn’t have and is going crazy at both ends.…

  • December 4, 2025 I don’t know about you, but it sure enough feels like full blown winter to me. Eight degrees at 4:30 this morning, the ‘ol furnace can’t seem to take a breath, he’s constantly running. The other day, I and some other fellers sorted and penned a little over a hundred head of…

  • December 3, 2025 The weather man says it is 28 degrees right now, the high will be around 29 with a stiff north/west wind. That puts the wind chill around 17 degrees for a high, much fun! Yesterday, I spent my day working a bull sale for a neighbor. The bulls looked really nice, the…

  • December 2, 2025 Will you look at that, it’s 23 degrees at 4:30 a.m.! With that as a starting point, we just might reach the predicted 41 for a high. The ‘ol bones will enjoy some warm. Yesterday morning, my dear friend Jowell was able to harvest a cow elk. What a blessing! We then…

  • December 1, 2025 Good morning! It’s 1 degree at 3:30 a.m., headed for 34 with a fresh coat of snow. It looks like December is ready to snort in a feller’s flank! I have a little sister who is five years younger than I am. Sis was sure enough a cute little varmint when she…
