Good Morning: My old Dad always said; “George, watch the Sky, Not the Calendar.” Lot of truth in them few words.
So here we are—April 25, 2025. That’s a date that really stands out, isn’t it? Back in the day, people would have called this a marker—a day when the past gives a little nod to the future. It feels like a great day to plant something new, fix what’s broken, or make a promise. You know, twenty-five is halfway to fifty, and that’s a gentle reminder: you’re never too far gone to start over, but you’ve been around long enough to know a thing or two. It’s a good moment to reflect and think about fresh starts!

And, as my old Dad would say. “George, a cool rain on a spring day? That’s the soil’s way of stretching before the real work begins.”
Highway 522 is picking up traffic-wise. Yesterday, while I was working outside, I couldn’t help but notice the steady hum of tires on pavement, more cars than usual, most of them local. You can always tell; Out-of-towners slow down to take in the scenery; locals slow down to see who’s in your yard and what you’re fixing or doing. …and if they don’t wave back, they’re probably too deep in thought, like wondering why their favorite fishing spot got ‘crowded’ all of a sudden.
On another note, yesterday turned out to be quite a busy day! My wife and I spent the whole day outside—I was fixing up one of our old buildings and cleaning around my shop, while she worked away in the flower gardens. I’ve got to say, they’re looking really nice now! After we finished, we took a moment to step back and appreciate what we’d done. We did our part, and now it’s up to Mother Nature. She’ll take over and bring on the spring flowers and all the leaves, that are patiently waiting for the rain and warmer weather to arrive. It sure is nice to watch everything start to grow again!
So what are you up to today, GW?
Well, if the weather holds up, I’m thinking I’ll tackle a bit more work around the old woodworking shop. But if it doesn’t cooperate, that’s alright—I’ve got plenty to keep me busy here around the house. It’s a never-ending list for my wife and me, especially now that we’re gearing up for our big garage sale in about three weeks. Let me tell you, it’s going to be one huge sale! It’s amazing what two old folks can accumulate over the years. At any rate, there’ll be something for everyone, no matter their age. We’re excited to see what treasures we can pass along!
With that, I’m off once again for breakfast that my lovely wife has prepared for me. After that, we’ll settle in for our morning chat over a warm cup of hot cocoa. It’s the perfect way to start the day together!
