Go back to sleep, daffodils, it’s only fake spring, not real spring. And, it’s a contraily kind of a day: 7 second video… Contrails. At 12:30 p.m., it’s 62 and mostly clear. Heading up to 69 today.
It’s only 37 degrees outside, but in the warmth of the sun and wearing two long-sleeved shirts (me) and a fur coat (Zorro), we are delighting in this beautiful morning. The air is as still as a moment of silence and we feel like we’ve made it to spring without the reality of winter. But, [...]
After a couple of rainy gray days, we have sunshine. The blizzard kept itself to the western half of the state and here we only had rain, about 2 inches of rain. Drought be gone. Maybe. Today, the sun hit the Tropic of Capricorn and is headed back north. Slowly. It’s the first day of [...]

Today’s Flyover People column as seen in The Emporia Gazette: NOVEMBER WIND The wind was so strong that I expected to see a few stripes being yanked from Old Glory and watch them whip away into the atmosphere. Stretched to its limit, a flag held onto a residential pole for dear life as raging gusts [...]

First, there’s the mitten tree and donations are being accepted for that – mittens, stocking caps, gloves, scarves. Donations will be distributed by the Salvation Army. The second tree is for CASA kids, kids who are in [...]
The clouds tried to crowd out the red sky warning, but the news is all over the airwaves: winter storm approaching. We’ll get a cold rain today and maybe a bit of snow tonight. Western and Central Kansas will get hit harder. Usually by mid-October, the neighbor’s sycamore leaves have taken over our yard, but [...]
Dave and I went in search of The Great Pumpkin yesterday at Roga Pumpkin Patch west of Emporia. It might have been that we arrived at the tail end of pumpkin season and they were picked over or else the drought created a less than stellar year for pumpkins. It was a gorgeous October day [...]
It’s so green! I love this time of year. These shots were taken on K-177 between Strong City and Council Grove. The Flint Hills Scenic Byway is one of the prettiest drives in the state. K-177, from Council Grove to Cassoday is a Kansas Scenic Byway and a National Scenic Byway.
