The day was overcast and on the chilly side, but that didn’t dampen my enjoyment of a visit to Lucas, Kansas. I drove about an hour and a half on country roads, which in itself was really nice. After living in very crowded, urban Southern California for most of my life, I absolutely love the […]

I visited the town of Lucas, Kansas, today. Per the internet, “Lucas is a small city in Russell County, Kansas, known as the “Grassroots Art Capital of Kansas,” with a population of 332 as of the 2020 census” and is about an hour and a half drive northwest from my home. An art display was […]

The month of March features our local Amish village’s Parade of Quilts. As March is quickly coming to a close I decided to visit yesterday, a cold and blustery day (in direct contrast to the upper 90s we had the day before). Several of the local shops hang the handmade quilts for display and sale. […]

After a few chilly days with mornings well below freezing, today jumped up to the mid 70s. I took the warmth as a nudge to visit a local arboretum and enjoy a nice walk. In the little village of Hesston, about half an hour drive due east on a less-traveled country road, is the Dyck […]

Continuing from part 1, today’s post features various murals and sculptures I saw while driving around Salina, Kansas this past Monday. The day was cold and overcast, but the art on public display brightened everything up. I highly recommend a visit to Salina! ~SueBee

I drove my car about an hour north yesterday for its checkup at the dealership in Salina, Kansas. Before the appointment I had time for lunch at the best Italian restaurant I’ve been to here in Kansas, Martinelli’s. I didn’t want heavy pasta so instead I had a bowl of yummy minestrone soup and a […]

I read that a restaurant about six miles from home, Carriage Crossing Restaurant in the Amish village of Yoder, was serving their annual fried filet of catfish Fridays during the season up to Easter. Late afternoon this past Friday, I took myself out to early dinner. The meal was delicious, the portion very generous and […]

My yard attracts a large variety of wild birds, but the one I always smile at is the red cardinal. Seeing that bright spot of red is something special! ~SueBee Note: While my yard looks pretty ragged at the moment, once spring is sprung it will be a wonderland of plants and flowers.

The “storm of the century” had been forecast, based on all the social media hype and apparently as per the grocery stocking-up that many seem to have done. We did get snow but I don’t think it was nearly what was expected. Perhaps 6″ in my yard, if that. The rest of the week looks […]
