Sharing my adventure with you today; a friend and I were returning from the cabin and as we came to a slight downhill in the road,

I noticed a bird lying on the side of the road. Just at a quick glance, I thought it was a grouse, it didn't look quite right, so I backed up

to get a better look and said "OMYGOD, Kathy, you have to get out to see this ( Read more... )

The Trapper man had set a trap out to the cabin for the fat skunk that seems to enjoy spending time under my building. I do not appreciate having such a close resident, so I asked D/D to catch it.

Yesterday was the first chance I had to get out to the cabin for a week, as weather wise , October has been a very strange one, most of the days were ( Read more... )

Sometimes it is the little things in life that make our lives worth living, most often, the big events that come, expectedly or unexpectly, and the ones that stand out in our memory. Too often I forget the good things, the good times, and dwell on the negative; so I am going to concentrate on the little things, and the funny ones…

One of my ( Read more... )

Late night after a good day.
The plans for the day were made last week and changed with the weather today. Instead of “doing windows”, I called friend L and said it is too cold to have all the windows open, so we better wait; so instead of windows, she said she would come and vacuum for me. That is always a big hooray because I run out of breath, ( Read more... )

Weather is now, and always has been a good subject, especially when we were on the ranch; it affected every segment of our life, all day, every day. Here in our little town we have a “weather woman” who keeps us informed as to coming conditions, what the radar is showing and how hot and cold it has been along with her predictions according to the ( Read more... )

My Trust Has Left Me

My wonders are quite small; I contacted Live Journal recently and asked for a physical address so I could again be a paid account. Their reply was the Journal no longer accepts personal checks as of October 1, 2009; I also noted, as I was trying to get back into the pay part, that when I use my credit card, my yearly fee will ( Read more... )

There are so many questions, and as of right now, no distinct answers. If there was, is, or definitely IS a distinct line that can be drawn between right and wrong (not right and left!) and if that line is there and obvious, is it right, or wrong to defend wrong? Will you defend wrong simply to follow or will you try and sort out what is real, what ( Read more... )

One of my friends had this quote on her post recently:

“To remain silent and indifferent is

the greatest sin of all”.   Elie Wiesel

Shall we no longer remain silent? I cannot. To have an almost complete invasion into my life by the government is appalling to me; never, in all of my years, (and there are a lot of them) have we had to see the ( Read more... )

If we can call it a “town”; one service station, a bar and a sometime diner, motel, and thirty-six residences.

This time the story is about the animals that manage to find their way into our town. My neighbor saw a skunk coming toward my shop, it slipped through a place dug out and made itself a new place to explore. The call to the state trapper ( Read more... )

Summer solstice and it is beginning to feel like summer; plus, I just returned from a quick drive to a nearby town and the traffic was reminiscent of the good old days of touristing in the 30’s (that is the 1930’s for those of you who are so young and happy to be!). America is on the move and we have some wonderful vacation spots in this area.
