This bird stays up ALL night! I know this because I wake up hearing him with his endless song. I know that mockingbirds tweet,chirp, and sing day after day, all day long. But, all night long as well? Pretty sure he is desperate for a mate. Or he may just be determined to keep all […]

I never told him goodbye. Even when we were there as he drew his final breath. My Daddy was a special man. He and I had a special relationship. He trained me well, whether it was the chores on the farm, or how to enjoy life, he gave me a lot of his insight and

I’m building a log chair. Should be a rather simple process of putting a bunch of sticks together right? But you see that one short log spindle laying on the ground in front of the chair? That one piece has caused the whole log chair to not fit. The small spindle was cut to fit

During the making and construction of the log home, I used 5 gallons of chainsaw chain oil, wore out 5 pairs of jeans, destroyed three pairs of gloves, reduced 7 chains on the chainsaw to “nubbins”, obliterated a pair of knee pads, tattered two shirts, ruined a hat, severely cut my finger, and I wrestled

Yep, there are 3 fly strips above the salad bar! Flies, gnats, bugs, … critters of all kinds are stuck on the sticky tape and……….. Staci and I just lost our appetite. We were traveling somewhere in the middle of nowhere west Texas when I got hungry. I really enjoy driving off the beaten

Here is the picture of “Shadow” the red tail hawk I trained for falconry a couple of years ago. When I’ve completed the log house construction, (in a few months), I’m looking forward to getting back in my hobby of falconry, which I’ve done for 18 years. These birds are amazing. The skills they use
