Kansas is known for its bugs: cicadas, fireflies, chiggers, oak mites, ticks, and mosquitos—to name a few. So, if you want to enjoy the soft summer breezes, a screened porch is a requirement.

I am thankful for my faith, health, family, friends, part-time job, our home, and all the freedoms we enjoy in America. These freedoms came and are preserved at a price.

There are advantages of hiking trails in late fall and winter as opposed to summer. First, of course, there’s the lack of sweat-producing heat…no cooling scarf or ice water required. Then, there’s the enhanced view. Fewer leaves let us see the creek or the hillsides from many places where the views are hidden by summer
