(a panoramic view looking West) We had to run out to the library tonight to grab a book and we were met with the most amazing sight. I don’t recall the last time I saw a full arch of the rainbow much less the making of a double full arch. Sometimes storms bring the most […]
This weekend was the Spring Cub Scout campout and we had secured a great venue at Angel Mounds. We arranged for Father Joe to come out and celebrate mass for us on Saturday night which is no small feat given the priestly shortage. We made all the plans but then we started to see rain […]
Running along the Ohio River is one of my favorite ways to start the day. We are just 1.2 miles from the river path and I enjoy taking in the sights while I run. Today the water was remarkably high but even more noteworthy was the location of this barge and tug. I don’t recall […]
While out on my run with my buddy, I stopped along the Ohio to take a few pictures of how high the Ohio River was. If you look at this picture, you can see the white deck sticking out in the water. Here it is from the other direction. It’s the patio for a riverfront […]
We can’t catch a break from the snow days. I don’t know why, but I fell into the weather/food trap. It’s the one that dictates that when there is a big storm coming, one must run to the store for milk, bread and eggs because surely the way to survive in a storm is to […]

It’s another day of zero in these parts but at least there is promise of a heat wave. Since we are “electronics free” during the week, we have passed the time with audio books, Legos and puzzles. Enter the puzzles that the boys gave me last year. It was high time I got busy. By […]
School is closed. There is no snow to temp the boys to go outdoors. Instead, we are hunkered down for the day feeling grateful for good insulation and plenty of heat.
Every month Bill tallies up the laps that the students have walked. He creates graphs and pie charts that reflect the changes from month to month in class participation, distance walked and miles walked by each student. I enjoy posting those sheets each month. There is always a rush to see who has entered into […]
The rising blue in our barometric swan’s neck is foreboding. Tomorrow is Halloween and severe storms are predicted. In some areas, trick or treating has been moved to Friday night. I know, I know. Back in the day, we trick or treated come rain or come shine. There was no rain date for Halloween. My, […]
