Over the weekend there was an anniversary. Five years since the Starbuck fire torched most of Clark County, Kansas on March 6, 2017. The Scott Farm took a direct hit that day.

The wind was atrocious, although it held our weary bodies while putting Dad in the ground. More than once I thought, at least it was warm, otherwise it’d be miserable for someone like me who hates cold. Eighty some degrees I believe. But later in the day that quickly changed as a front blew through.
