MERRY CHRISTMAS 2025
December 24, 2025
My wife has now been doing these Christmas song/updates for 30 years. I have not always published them due to personal privacy of certain family members. I have the okay to print this one, as it is pretty generic and will be the last. Click on image and enlarge for better viewing.
While I have this up, I would like to wish all of my readers a Merry Christmas Day whether they observe the day or not. Looking ahead to 2026, my hope is that all of us grow in the Lord and in the knowledge of His Word.

Do Lord
October 9, 2017I would like to thank my neighbor, Tom Overton, for posting this on his Facebook page twice recently. He commented “Time again to put a smile on your face” with his last posting.
Thank you, Tom. It did just that.

(The video that Tom sent me was taken down so I put this one up instead!)

WEEKLY WRAP-UP FOR 4-30-2016
April 30, 2016This week’s posts are:
Adielaide Australia Protests Barnevernet
Amber-Encased Lizards Showcase Recent Creation
Desperate Parent Leaves Norway
I spent most of my week in two area schools. I enjoyed my week as I worked with K-11th grades.
The joke of the week has two answers, one that came from my source and a better one that came from a student.
Why was the math book sad?
Source: Because it had so many problems.
Trevor (10th grade) He bought a ticket for the rhombus.
I hope you all have a blessed week in the Lord.

WEEKLY WRAP-UP FOR 4-23-2016
April 22, 2016Over 20 posts in one week? Would you believe I have others waiting in line? It has been a great week of learning for me, not only here but on Facebook and at the schools I service. There won’t be a recap of all that was covered.
I’ll wrap it up with one of the “Jokes of the day” which I tell my students.
What do you get from a pampered cow?
Spoiled milk
May God bless you and yours…

SPEED RIDING
November 20, 2013http://player.vimeo.com/video/36398302
It’s so nice to be in contact with Barbara Anable once again. She sent me this and I had to put it up. As Barbara said: “This is an amazing and beautiful video!” How can one watch this and not think of our wonderful Creator God.
This video made me think of THIS ARTICLE CALLED “Secrets from the Most Distant Galaxy.”
Enjoy both.

“SNOWMAGEDDON” – DAY TWO
January 10, 2011
Can you spot the bird?
Two “sort of” personal posts in a row? Yep. It’s an unusual thing here at the Wings of the Wind.
There are much more important matters to be edited.
But what could they be?
News has arrived that there will be a second unplanned day at home with the family because of an Act of God. Too few daddies spend too little time with their families these days and I’m the first to say that my record in this area is not a spotless one.
So, pardon me if the snowball fight is so intense that this blog goes unattended for awhile.

THE DIGITAL STORY OF THE NATIVITY
December 20, 2010Madman Dave
I went to one of the blogs on my blogroll today and saw something that I think you would enjoy.
I really don’t know how to explain it except to say that Dave Wilson’s Blog Faces of Lions explains it as: “A Portuguese advertising agency re-imagines the Christmas story unfolding in our social media age.”
The three minute video is entertaining.
See it here:

Wings of the Wind 
Tomato Teepee May 7, 2026
May 7, 2026It was a cloudy day today but this picture still gives you an idea of this year’s tomato structure. It was made specifically for growing tomatoes. The structure is supported by four 10 foot fencing posts driven deep enough that there should be no stability issues. The rest is mainly bamboo that I’ve dried from a stand of bamboo that I’ve been trying to get rid of for years now. Each plant is in a 10 to 20 gallon grow pot (made of fabric) and filled with potting soil. The reason for the fencing is that I have a semi-lame cat named Daniel (after Lieutenant Dan) who thinks the grow pots are his and he loves to lay on them. The fencing is high enough that he will not try climbing over. The other cat that we belong to could easily make it over but she isn’t interested. I have left a few of the half-filled pots specifically for Daniel in his favorite places.
On this day there is no sun because we had a good rain last night and more is on the way. I am always thankful to the good Lord for rain. There is a larger garden area on the property but because of Oak trees, some pine trees, and a nice hickory tree that I refuse to cut down, the area designed for a garden gets little sun. So, this is my effort in a sunny area. This area did pretty well last year. I know the plants are too close together but I’ve packed them closer together before so I continue to experiment. Every year this thing looks a bit different. It is larger this year as each year I’ve continued to add more pots. I’m behind the professional growers because I start my plants from seed and am in no hurry as we have such a long growing season. If you click on the picture to enlarge it you might be able to see the little yellow flowers where a few tomatoes are already forming. I have several varieties in this small area so I know I might get some cross pollination but that only makes things more interesting. In this space there are Beefsteak tomatoes, Betterboy tomatoes, Cosmonaut Volkov tomatoes, Roma tomatoes, and a few Sun Gold cherry tomato plants.
To keep the foliage and disease down, I pinch out the suckers of the plant varieties that are indeterminate. The Romas (determinates) are the only ones I don’t bother doing that with. This keeps things under control as the season continues. Each plant will only have one main stem growing up each piece of bamboo. To keep certain bugs away, each pot contains one or more marigold plants. Some say they also keep snakes away. By the end of the season, I should have marigolds in many places. They are so easy to grow and transplant.
I do use a touch of miracle grow when the seedlings are developing and I make sure to use a pinch of lime in my growing media. By the time the plants are the size of the ones in this picture, I use only organic fertilizers and the pest control is all safe for humans. I spray the plants a few times a year with a BT/Cal-Mag/Kelp combo spray that I mix that is over 95% water. That keeps the hornworms down some. I do end up having to remove some hornworms by hand every year.
And that’s this year’s attempt. I’ll probably write two more posts on this thing during the growing season. I’m curious to see how it does and you might be too.
God’s blessings…
Chris Reimers
The next day…in full sun!
