Today Aunt Jeanette writes: As I was walking this morning – yep, I lost my walking partner to an injury – I was writing stories in my head. There wasn’t much else I could do because the fog was so dense I could barely see where I was going. It was one of those heavy gray curtain fogs that opened …
The Tunnel Walk
Today Aunt Jeanette writes: If you are a Nebraska football fan, or even if you aren’t, you probably have heard of the Nebraska Cornhusker Tunnel Walk. It really is quite an amazing sight – seeing the “sea of red” and everyone pumped for a Husker football game. Well, Dan and I now have our own personal little tunnel walk. Whichever …

Meet the Grandparents
I took the first “AgWalk” on June 22, 2010. Since then, we’ve walked 246 times.

Throughout my life, I’ve lived in Brock, Neb., Omaha, Neb., Kansas City, Mo., Denver, Colo., and now Cambridge, Neb. When my mother came to visit the other day, she asked me: “If you could choose living in the city, or living where you are now, which would you honestly pick?” My answer? Right where I am. Hands down. Here’s a …
O Beautiful for spacious skies …
For amber waves of grain … This week Aunt Jeanette writes: The Fourth of July has come and gone, but I couldn’t resist sharing this picture with you and thinking about this song. Dan is harvesting wheat and took this photo through the windshield of his combine. He shared it with me and now I am sharing it with you. …
Rainy Days and Mondays…
This week Aunt Jeanette writes: Some people don’t like rain – or Mondays for that matter. I am assuming since most of you that read this are in some way associated with agriculture, you are not one of those people. There are many songs written about rain, however, this song title fit today perfectly – except the part in the …

Teaching Starts at Home
As a mom who works in the agriculture industry, it’s important that my children know where their food comes from. For instance, when I read “Johnny Tractor” books with my 2-year-old daughter and she sees the picture of the cow, she knows the cow has an udder and we get milk from a cow. As a sidebar note, the movie …
