We’ve named the place “Higher Ground”! The old hymn goes like this……..”I’m pressing on, the upward way. New heights I’m gaining everyday. Still praying as I onward bound, Lord plant my feet on higher ground.” What was once just an ambituous dream is now almost completed. There are already friends and family staying with us. […]

There were visitors at my gold and silver mine this week. “Granny” stepped out of her comfort “box” and joined in on the adventure. It’s more than just a short hike to the mine. It involves walking down a steep slippery mountain (and climbing back up). Lots of loose rocks to twist an ankle. The

This is in my backyard! The picture shows a closeup of what we see from our view at our log house. It’s about 40 miles away, but definitely part of our view. Scary and powerful this destructive force. It (this wildfire has been named the “Spring Fire”) destroys any and everything it comes across. As

Here’s the silver and gold mine on our property here in Colorado. It hasn’t been worked hard by anyone since back in the late 1800’s/early 1900…….. well except for me now. I’ve been down there digging. Digging for gold. Digging for silver, or any other precious metal. So many questions. Why did the miners pick

Even in the smallest of things, God’s presence can be felt! I’m outside on the deck taking in the view here in Colorado. A majestic view at that!! Mountains as far as I can see. Then, this little fellow shows up. Stunned I am, because now my view has gone from BIG, BIG, BIG,…….. to

I’m wondering what the future holds for my son and daughter. What does the future hold for all you guys in your 20’s and 30’s? Even those in your 40’s. It’s a whole different world out there. I know, I know,……. I’m gonna sound like an “old geiser” whose wishin’ for the old days, but

I’m “chinking” the log walls of my home this week. It’s where you fill in the cracks and spaces between the logs with a type of caulking. The caulking sticks to the logs as it dries. A foam brush is used, ( I prefer to use my thumb), to help coat the edges of the
Yep, I drew it. It’s worth $325.00. But I want to give it away…… to you. Suppose I told you that someone from and of the “art world” saw my painting and told me this. “Your art is original, simple yet inspiring,…….simple, yet complex. You take colors and weave together a story. It has a
