  • May 20, 2026 Starting today at 28 degrees, looking at 63 for a high. Cloudy and breezy. Perhaps a bit of rain on Thursday and Friday, a lot of rain would be just fine! Today, I will be shoveling dirt most of the day. I had a plan for a beautiful, lush lawn in front…

  • May 19, 2026 Good morning. We were blessed with a bit of moisture yesterday and then a really hard frost. Anything that wasn’t covered is probably dead. All I know is that Coffee was out and back in record time today! I didn’t give much thought to the phrase that “anything that wasn’t covered is…

  • May 18, 2026 Good morning, MOISTURE!!! Oh, it may not be the inches of rain that we need, but it is a blessing, and we thank you Lord Jesus for taking care of Your creation! For today, let’s talk about American Christianity. May I suggest to you that you tap into the “Barna Group” to…

  • May 17, 2026 Rain last night, snow tomorrow – Thank You Lord Jesus!!! Yesterday evening, Miss Deb and I attended the high school graduation party of a little gal we have known for several years. When we first met her, she was just a little girl with a cute smile; very bashful, but friendly. Then…

  • May 16, 2026 Maybe? It is looking like we could get some moisture of Sunday evening and Monday. Sure, some of it may be in the form of snow, but it’s moisture! Yesterday was a great day for me, I went branding. In the saddle by 7 in the morning to gather cattle. Branding by…

  • May 14, 2026 Hot and windy – The End! So, how’s your ticker working? Mine has always run quite a bit slow with low blood pressure. My nurse daughter says that’s part of the problem with too much plaque in my arteries, I don’t know about that, but if that is even close to true,…

  • May 13, 2026 Greetings, I woke up to 40 degrees with a forecast of reaching 86 before this day is complete. With a 2% chance of rain, I predict another day of hot and dry. Yesterday, Miss Deb, Coffee and I all jumped into the pickup and headed south for me to see the dentist…

  • May 12, 2026 Good morning dear readers. At 5 a.m. the thermometer reads 45 degrees, moving to 75 later on today. When I put ‘ol Coffee out the door, I didn’t notice a cloud in the sky anywhere around Lusk. It looks like we are already in the hot and dry season. Back in the…

  • May 11, 2026 Good morning all. Hopefully some of you were blessed to receive the gift of rain over the weekend. Our area, not so much, but this is a new week with new possibilities. As far as today’s temps go, we are starting at 35 and headed for 87! Yep, that’s way too hot…

  • May 10, 2026 Good morning to all. Here in Lusk we have 37 degrees to start with, while looking at 63 for a high. Yesterday’s rain traveled all of the way around us but didn’t hardly sprinkle here. Maybe one of these days we’ll catch a good one??? Happy Mother’s Day to all of you…
