This photo is from my mother-in-law’s side of the family. It may be a little different, but I thought you’d agree that this above ground root cellar is pretty creative! Instead of digging down or into the side of the hill, the root cellar building was “built up with rocks and each layer filled with…
Wordless Wednesday – “Big Trails”
Big Trails
Another Work Day
Gathering at the edge of Otter Creek Canyon. When you manage for grass… some places can grow stirrup high and higher grass! This place is a great example! My allergies can attest to it!

Poor Thing
A little side track… please indulge me. On the way home from our Girl Scout staff reunion, I spotted this poor mule deer. Well, he crossed the road right in front of me, so he was hard to miss! I thought at first that he was covered in burdock… but that wasn’t the case. He…
