Music Monday – “And if I weren’t a flatland boy, I’d say I have a hill/A hill that I will die upon if the climb don’t get me killed/If there were such heights around here for a guy to lay his pride/Maybe I’d rest before I died if I weren’t a flatland boy”

I’m old enough to remember using purple gas on our farm. “Purple Gas” – Zach Bryan and Noeline Hofman

Saturday Snap – I Don’t Always Drive A Minivan…

…but when I do, I use it to transport a full-sized fridge! (And who am I kidding? I do always drive a minivan.)

Saturday Snap – Jorts!

Nothing makes the camping season official like me wearing jorts for the first time! (This year, we even were able to get into our seasonal site one week earlier than usual due to the lack of snow over the winter and the park crew being ahead of schedule with annual maintenance – yay!)
