New Year’s Eve
Fire department duties had me up before dawn on Saturday to see the old year out in spectacular fashion. 2022 had its highs & lows. We miss those we’ve lost, and hope to revisit the triumphs in the coming year.

After almost a year and a half, Sammie has finally begun to take her mom’s place on my hip. Warms my heart.
If you stare into the void…
If you stare long enough into the Void, eventually the Void may stare back. In honor of Black Cat Appreciation Day, I present Duke. He’s one of our barn cats and a double source of our stress this week. He turned up at the barn dragging a back leg last week. The vet says his… Continue reading If you stare into the void…
