Your Flying Farmer –  Come Chore With Me!

March 25, 2024 by Jonathan Gerdes

Jonathan Gerdes

Every morning (Yes, you read that right, every morning), my alarm clock rings long before the sun says hello. I roll out of bed, stretch my stiff neck, whisper “I love you” to my wife, and sneak down the squeaky stairs. If I’m lucky, I trip on one of my kids who decided the floor next to my bed was the best place to be just because it was near me. That is the closest I’ll ever … [Read more...]

February 26, 2024 by Jonathan Gerdes

Jonathan Gerdes

“There once was a boy who could listen. He could hear a sliced cantaloupe glisten. And closing his eyes He can hear the sun rise By the chirping he knows that it’s risen.” -Hornaday When I heard this limerick, I was surprised by the clever use of senses in a way that senses aren’t used. Why could the boy hear the glistening cantaloupe? Because of his previous … [Read more...]
