(from University of Tennessee Erlanger Urology) Recently, I saw where my friend Jackie Tarrance made a trip to ER to have a bug removed. I’m glad to report the bug extraction was successful. Recently (this morning), I, too, went to the emergency room to have a bug removed. I don’t know which species of insect […]

Brother David Embry’s memorable sermon yesterday, Sunday, August 10, at Cedar Grove Baptist, focused on “Transformation.” His use of a butterfly’s life cycle was spot-on relatable, especially for me since my parents are Monarch butterfly aficionados. Yes, they’re still driving around looking for Milkweed plants and Monarch eggs. Being a retired English teacher helped me […]
(from Google Images) I’ve been seeing more deer along the highways here lately, and it has me thinking about the upcoming crossbow season. In Kentucky it starts September 20, 2025 and runs through January 19, 2026. To be sure, it will be way too hot for me to hunt in September. I won’t hunt until […]

In the last blog, the one about our trip to Miramar Beach, I mentioned that one day we went deep sea fishing, and I included a couple pics. That got me to thinking about fish pics. I started looking back thru some old photos, and next thing you know, I’ve decided to share a few. […]
No, it’s not Kentucky, but there sure is beaucoup blue down here in Florida! (driving over the bridge into Destin) Been down here since last Saturday, the 26th of July. Loving it, of course! Yes, it is hot, but there is that ocean breeze which helps some. A group of us went out on a […]

It’ll be an experience! (photo by Jinn Bug) I know some of you may be asking, “Who’s Ron Whitehead?” It’s not uncommon […]

When I decided to add a Washer tournament to Rosine Autumn Jam, I knew I would have to be creative to acquire enough “kegs” because the old, antique nail kegs are rare and expensive. That’s assuming you can find a pair the right size, 10-inch diameter by 19-inch height. (from Google Images) That’s over $300 […]
Soon, here in Western Kentucky, Chanterelle mushrooms should burst through the leaves of the forest floor. They may already be up in places. If not, the next good rain should do the trick. Generally, from July to October in Kentucky, you can hardly walk through any forested land in the state without finding Chanterelles in […]
”Give God the glory for every good thing you do.” Merle Haggard “Pray” Most folks don’t know the Hag released a Bluegrass album. Some folks know about it but insist it’s more Acoustic Country than Bluegrass. I happened to not care what you call it—I like it. I’ve performed it at The Rosine Barn Jamboree, […]

The Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) is back in our beautiful Kentucky commonwealth, having migrated up from Mexico. (pic I took at the Louisville Zoo, June 2025) You may or may not know, but by some estimates, the Monarch is an endangered or threatened species. Folks might not be too concerned about that, but they should […]
