My throat had an odd feeling to it when I woke up. I must have been snoring last night. I comforted myself with that thought as I took a pan of cookies out of the oven. I still had another 10 dozen to roll out and glaze and decorate. It was fine. It would all be fine. Company was coming for …
Have you noticed that each year the soil and bodies of water in temperate climate zones shift almost overnight from warm to colder as the environment cools each fall and reverses each spring? I can detect the annual thermal declines and inclines at our home water faucets and when I fish.
There will be no New Year resolutions for me.
“Naw. This can’t be right.” I said, looking at the calendar. “Fifty years?

My wife had been working her way through the old episodes of “The West Wing.” I wandered through the living room one day during the scene where the Democratic president and a Republican senator were in the basement of the White House eating ice cream.
Right about now you are eyeball-deep in guilt, exhaustion, Christmas programs, and wrapping paper. It is crunch week for holiday preparations. You have nine days left (maybe 8) to get everything done. Sadly, most who are responsible for the family’s holiday enjoyment and memories have depres…
Moving day is an especially “moving” experience for people involved in farming, ranching, or working in agriculture in any fashion.
Recently, I spent a couple weeks doing nothing but eating and coughing, dealing with a mild case of COVID. We came out of it just in time to host Thanksgiving dinner. Three days later, about the time I’d worked my way through most of the leftovers, I was scheduled to give a talk about Advent…
The car trouble started out slowly. About a year ago, I had to press a little more on the brake pedal to get it to engage. I thought maybe it was just a little extra thigh fat hindering the brake’s response. As the summer progressed, I thought maybe I should get my brakes checked. As luck wo…

I won my election for county commissioner.

The dog lived.
I got a very sweet note from a reader of this column today. She told me she had heard me speak several years ago. She didn’t mention the “when” and “where,” but it doesn’t really matter. My public speaking experiences were all disasters. Every one of them. So I would like to take this moment…

It was a good week.
Fast foods will kill you. The medical community has said this for years and recently a survey by DrugGenius.com provided some information that supports that death threat. I wanted to cry when I read it.
Agriculture and the well-being of consumers will improve together with advances in sustainable farming, according to scientific experts from around the world who met in person and by teleconnections to exchange information during a conference in Odense, Denmark, this past August. The confere…
I made what I feel is some excellent pear vinegar.
I’ve had a love/hate affair with garden tillers since I was born. The first one I had was like a small Volkswagen Beetle on wheels. It was well-used when I got it and had to be started by someone taller and stronger than me. I could not get effective leverage on the pull string even by climb…
