Buffalo National River as I remember it about 80 years ago
While you are celebrating the Buffalo National River, how about remembering all the families who gave up their land for your enjoyment. I must honestly say that the day we had to give up our property was a very sad day for our family. It was like our roots had been yanked away from us. I think it is normal for most people, since the beginning of the USA, to fight to keep their property.

Good Sunday evening to everyone. Thankfully we missed the storm today. Hope all our neighbors are okay in the surrounding counties. We were in Branson when the storm warning was issued. Had to do some shoe shopping and Sebrena is planning a remodel job so she and Phillip were looking at ideas for this project. We made it home safe and sound.

Hope that everyone had a good week. Monday we received a little sleet and it soon melted. I am going out to the greenhouse to put some more dirt on some of my plants that are coming up. I have some garden plants that are about an inch tall. I have some pretty flowers in my greenhouse. I have some plants that have bloomed most of the winter.

Kateryna Pitchford’s story highlights the reality of the war for the rest of us.

Washington Update
There is a major disconnect between the struggles Americans experience every day and the image President Biden and his team are trying to project. This is most apparent in rural America. In his State of the Union address, the president only mentioned the word “rural” once, and the administration has failed to prioritize the needs of our farmers, ranchers and agricultural producers.

Snow melted, got a little rain, saw some Easter lilies around bloomed. Good sign of Spring, pretty flowers, green grass, birds chirping. I noticed at the Partlow Apartments a tree broke down. There used to be a man who fed the birds. I forgot his name. It was always full of red birds and other kinds.
