FOR TODAY, March 10th, 2026
OUTSIDE MY WINDOW ...
Periods of rain and mild temperatures have caused much of the snow to melt away and we have a few rainy days ahead of us. The temperature is expected to go up to 17*C/62.6*F today. I expect I will see ants. I hate ants. They are really annoying.
I AM THINKING ...
Eileen has one more iron infusion, and then she will be done. Hopefully she will be feeling a lot better than she has been.
I AM ALSO THINKING ...
It's tax season. I hope I have enough savings, just in case I end up having to pay additional tax over and above what I have been sending in each month. Yesterday I had to have a new battery put in the car. It would not start when I went to go to Cindy's on Sunday. That cost me over $300 and I will need two new spring tires next month, plus my electric bill was way up this time. I am trying not to be concerned.

I AM READING ...
IN THE GREAT QUIET, by Laura Vogt
A cannon booms at high noon, and the race begins in the Oklahoma land rush of 1893.
Amid the crowd is Minnie Hoopes. Tenacious and fiercely independent, she is determined to endure the brutal frontier and create a life of her own. Guarding her solitude, she distances herself from bordering homesteaders and finds peace under the starry nights of the vast frontier. But this is outlaw country, and Minnie soon has the blood of two gunfighters on her hands. After a renegade outlaw named Stot discovers her secrets, she forms an unlikely friendship with him. With each passing season, Minnie’s past grows more haunting and threatens the future she has risked everything to build. Minnie raced into the Wild West alone, but her grandest journey in the frontier wilderness is one she never saw coming.
Based on the true story of the author’s great-great-grandparents, this sweeping and transportive survival story explores a woman’s connection with the land, her reconciliation with the past, and her elemental search for home against all odds.
Settle in, I’ve stories to tell.
I love stories based on true stories. Only just begun this novel. So far it's a cracker!
