I will be rooting for Ed Carpenter to win the Indy 500 on Sunday. This young lady has recently been treated for leukemia. He bought her a custom racing fire suite & Monday took time to spend with her at the track. That made this racing fan really happy! Ed said she asked some really good questions!

Thunderstorm rolling in!

If I had artistic talent; this would be painted on the front of my canoe! 🤣🤣🤣

We have been getting a lot of light easy rains this past month. My Baby Blue Spruce really likes it! Look at all that new growth.

What companies wont do to sell jerkey sticks! 🤣🤣🤣

1st cutting Hay Windrows They let the wind dry it before they bail it for storage.

Ate a whole strawberry/rhubarb pie with my supper today. Only 5”. Not much bigger than a normal slice of pie! 🤣🤣🤣

On Sunday I went to a community garage sale held by a non profit organization. They were having a 50 cents for a paper grocery sack full sale. An old man walked into the building. An old lady who was passing out paper bags asked the man if he would like a bag. He said,”No Thank You, I’m married”

Irisis

I stopped at Aldi today. With recent grocery prices I was not sure if the armored truck was picking up money, delivering groceries to the store, or if "Door Dash" started using armored trucks for their deliveries.??? 🥴 (I’m not picking on Aldi. That just happens to be where I saw the armored truck)

This “bird” has fur! 🤣🤣🤣 They love sunflower seeds!

Was doing maintenance on the house near the rain gutters. Found this nest. I guess I’ll finish next month.

Saw a car today with pink racing stripes. I have never seen pink ones before! 😃

There are peanuts in the well bucket.

One windmill blade. Blackford County Indiana. They don’t look big till you get up beside them. Each blade is really long !

Pennies are legal tender for all debts private & public. Since they stopped making pennies; many banks, stores,& gas stations are refusing to take them. I should load up my truck with pennies and go buy a new truck. Pennies are legal tender. So when they refuse to take them the truck is Free! 😁

I received an offer for a credit card at a much lower interest rate than the card I had. So I applied for the card. They denied it.😲 I wrote them a letter & asked what the denial was based on. They answered, it was because I use revolving credit.😵‍💫 I wrote them, a credit card is Revolving credit!🥴

Player piano at Mercer Health Hospital in Coldwater Ohio. It plays a variety of songs at dinner & at supper time. Performances about 1 1/2 hours long. It is located between a dining area and a lobby so it can be heard in both places.

I’m getting an upstream server 503 error.🥴

Yesterday I was at a small rural hospital visiting someone. We had a conference with a neurologist who was 100 miles away . The Dr was able to turn the screen right & left as she asked questions from various people in the room.This gave access to highly specialized Resources. Reminds me of Hedi

Thunderstorms are rolling thru Coldwater Ohio. 20 minutes ago it was dark out. Now the sun is shining again!

Be True to your teeth or they will be False to you ! 😲

Sundown over Bryant, Indiana 4/4/2026

They put a sign on their buggy that they intentionally are holding up traffic to”piss people off”at the same time that police are allowing them to take slow moving vehicles on State and Federal highways. I am not allowed to operate an ATV or golf cart on this Highway as they are slow moving vehicles

Brrrr! 🥶🥶🥶 Frost on the windshield of my truck. 29 degrees out. It is supposed to be spring. 🥴. Daffodils are blooming in the flower beds.

Sugar glider

Squirrel is hiding in plain sight! On the corner of a raised flower bed made out of old Rail Road ties.

Whitetail deer.

This statue has been at the center of Montpelier, Indiana for as long as I can Remember.

Amish couple on the State highway.

I just divided these lilies last fall. Looks like they need divided again! 🥴

So, the very “Western” part of Alaska is actually the very Eastern part of the United States! 🥴

It is a beautiful day today. 67 very little wind. Sun shining! Sitting on my back porch I noticed a rabbit under a tree in my back yard ! That is the first one I have seen since last fall.

Oh my, found these in the craft section. They are not much bigger than my finger nail ! 🤣🤣🤣

Pulled in to the local Walmart and saw a wheel swap. By the time I got parked & my phone out of my pocket they had already swapped the rear wheels. Both had jacks and cordless drills/ impact wrenches.

I stopped in at a Natural, Organic, & Gluten Free grocery today. I noticed they were giving free healthy treats to kids whose parents shop there!

Perhaps we are headed back to the “Right Track” vaccines for our children so we do not return to the 40’s & 50’s when many were not available. I remember polio, the measles, mumps, chicken pox,………. I really do not understand why Kennedy thinks every child should get them. 🤔
