Beltane Waxing Garlic Moon The dog delivered, I’m moving more slowly today. I’ve selected a route home, up I-29 to I-90, then to the Jeffer’s Petroglyphs. I’ll plan to stay around there tonight, then finish up the drive home tomorrow. Saw granddaughter Ruth’s new teeth. Little white spikes emerging between her baby teeth in the […]

Beltane Waxing Garlic Moon Motel 6 with Sollie, Lincoln Nebraska At 8:35 am Sollie and I took off in the truck. We drove straight through to this little piece of heaven.

Spring Waning Bloodroot Moon My usual method of travel is mosey. I like slow travel, paying attention to the countryside and stopping when an interesting site shows up. I’ve never understood the folks who drive straight through, as if travel was only about making it to a destination, for me travel is the destination. Except […]
