My son Jacob turns 18 today. 18 years in the blink of an eye 👁 Many of you know him personally & appreciate the man he has become. I’m about to fix his favorite breakfast and spend the day with my boy… I can still call him that, even though he is 6’ 3” and weighs about 220… 😎 I’m a Very proud papa!!!
A collage of pictures of our Birthday boy through the years. From the poster boy for the outdoor classroom movement to putting on butterfly programs, hanging out with his favorite performers & to the man he is today. What a great young man he has become ❤️
Happy Birthday Jacob! I Love you son!

It cooled off a bit over night & it’s noticeable this morning. But the grey sky is supposed to give way later today and we will have some sun ☀️ Signs of Spring are everywhere! I’m gonna finish my coffee and make breakfast! Then, a nap 😴 & some Football 🏈! Did I mention that I love January 😊
Emerging flowers whisperer Spring is Coming 🌼
“January is the quietest month in the garden… But just because it looks quiet doesn’t mean that nothing is happening. The soil, open to the sky, absorbs the pure rainfall while microorganisms convert tilled-under fodder into usable nutrients for the next crop of plants. The feasting earthworms tunnel along, aerating the soil and preparing it to welcome the seeds and bare roots to come.”
~ Rosalie Muller Wright
Have a wonderful Sunday! Spring is Coming!
PS; Go Packers!

Here we are, the last day of 2019. The crossroads of a new year! A new decade! New Years Eve is always a strange and special day. You look back and you look ahead.
Hindsight is 2020… So is next year 😎
The future is what we make of it… You always hear that & in my experience, it rings true! Lets do this! Lets make 2020 the best year yet! Here’s to the future!

Rainy night followed by a rainy morning. I’ve been sipping coffee since early, thinking about the holidays and all the family we got to see and all the stuff we did. We are having one more late holiday get together with some out of town family and then it’s all about New Years!
Only a few days left in this decade! What will I do with them…
Today is the last Sunday of the year! Last Sunday of the decade to be exact! It’s been a good year! Fast but good. I have started a list of goals for 2020. #1 in the list, spend more quality time with family and friends. The more I think about it, that’s a goal worth striving for.
Have a great Sunday with family and friends!
New Years is Coming!

Christmas has now come and gone… All that’s left is to clean up the mess 😊 We always seem to make some good memories every season and I wouldn’t want to miss it for the world! Here an old #throwbackthursday picture from many moons ago. My lil sister and I in front of the tree.
Here’s a Throwback pic of my sister & I from Christmas’ past…
Santa was the main man for us back then… How about you?
Now it’s on to 2020! This is my offering for #throwbackthursday
Happy New Year! 🎊
