Irrigation is one of those crop practices that was really near and dear to people’s hearts last year since so much of the U.S. had a drought last year. I know here in St. Louis we all longed for rain and in the meantime, I was glad I had a timer on my soaker hose [...]

The “We” and “Me” of A Crisis
This morning I was still waking up when I read a great blog post by my friend Colleen Newvine Tebeau (she was the one who encouraged my purchase of JZ, the deck rooster). She’s one of the friends in the New York area who were on my mind as I watched Hurricane Sandy. The crisis unfolded [...]
A Highway 61 Adventure I’ll Never Forget! Catfish are Jumping! (Day 5)
The other day as I finally met Miss Dazey in real life, we got to telling stories. Her husband Mr. Bruce used to be in the trucking business and he prompted me to remember something. I hadn’t thought of this in a while, and we had some laughs as I told it so I hope [...]

It Was the Third of June, Another Sleepy, Dusty Delta Day
I’m a visual person… always have been. You can ask my mom and other family members. Images hold a huge amount of importance in my life. And while images can frequently be experience based, music creates a lot of images for me and it’s never far from me. The images created by a few songs [...]
What happens when all hail or hell breaks loose?
Yesterday, severe weather ripped its way across much of the central U.S. Hearts and minds immediately went out to the people who lived in the areas where forecasts included tornado warnings.
