November 1st is known to many as All Saint’s Day. It is a day to remember those who have left our daily lives during the previous year.
This year feels different, as such unforeseen times have left things feeling a bit unfinished in ways not seen in our lifetime.
A request to capture some photographs as a personal request for a friend led to the need for a bit of storytelling.

Certainly we’ve come to one of the most emotional weeks for a great many Americans (and likely many others around the world due to the financial and political position of the U.S.) with our national elections. For some there will be rejoicing; for others, wailing and gnashing of teeth. Certainly we Christians pray that those elected be given wisdom and grace to govern in ways pleasing to God, for that would be the greatest good. But, whoever wins, virtually all of us will be at least joyful at the end of the constant barrage of electioneering … after a bit of gloating from the winning Read More

We were just getting the branding fire going well at the Rafter E when Dud brought out the tape measure.
We stared at him until he said something through his corona mask.
“How long do you figure a calf is?” he asked.
We looked at each other. Steve said, “I don’t know … four feet?”
