February 26, 2026 - Good Morning! It’s Thursday, February 26.

As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? A fireman? An astronaut? The president! When I was little I wanted to work in a zoo. And now - I live next door to one. Well, not quite.  But sometimes it feels like it. Here’s a list of my next door neighbors - dogs, cats, cows, horses, ponies, sheep, goats, turkeys, chickens, and pot bellied pigs. At one time or the other, most all of them have paid me a visit. And I have to tell you - I love it!
