Pancho Villa
Do you ever have those open mouth insert foot moments? Gosh, I do… ALL. THE. TIME. It’s quite sad really. So the most recent happened at a Mexican restaurant in town.

Fresh Pumpkin Butter (made with homegrown Pumpkins)
This past weekend we had our annual Trails for Kids fundraising ride. We had to postpone it a little bit… because we all know there’s this Pandemic thing going on. Honestly, I think it was a good time. In April we’re always fighting rain. Now, if you think about September… you could fight fall rains,…
