Until last weekend, Vernon and I had a good record of attempting the drive up our mountain in our little side by side. The first trip we made it halfway up what we call “Aunt Mary’s Hill”, the first steep pitch. The next weekend it was to a P’s cattle guard. Two Sundays ago, we…
Dream Come True
It seems like too much of a title for this, but it is something I’ve wanted for years. It sounds like it should be accompanied by Disney music and a princess in a long dress, with perhaps singing birds and giggling mice doing the housework. We all have dreams and I just bought mine. Let…
There Was This
I keep thinking I will make two videos. One of the local wildlife I’ve been filming and one where I will answer many of the questions that have been posed recently… then I start doing yard work and I get distracted! I’ve mowed and rototilled and cleaned and repaired and trimmed and pitched… and my…

Excursion
After a great morning visiting with Brandon and his crew for Mother’s Day (and Megan helping me to order more Red Dirt In My Soul books!) … and then Daniel’s crew… and then lunch, Vernon and I were discussing what to do. All of the recent rain had put an ending to our weekly trips…
Enjoyed
I hope you enjoyed your Mother’s Day.
Special Place
The story I was going to tell has its photos out on my camera which is in my car in the garage … which is not attached to my house… I’m not going there. So tonight… two of my favorite photos from this week. The Dry Reservoir isn’t… at least temporarily… looking south. Looking NNE…
#TBT: Own Tale, v.2.0
This was first posted May 15, 2012. Just as a reminder how things don’t always go smoothly… Well, no photos of the food I cooked, lawn I watered, laundry I washed, diapers I changed, or chickens I fed. Thank goodness for small favors! Needless to say, this day has been hectic. The crew didn’t have…
Wordless Wednesday: “Red”
