Another funny story. Jim can walk up to the pasture fence behind our house, call the cows, and they come running! It’s been a standing joke for years in our family that he can call his cows wherever they are. No one else could do it like he could. Well, now, I’ve bested him. The [...]

Jim went back to the field at 10:30 last night and returned around 3:30 or 4 am. Baled the next to the last field. He fluffed outside rounds on the last field and is hauling in what he baled during the night. We have only one field left; I’m so thankful. We had rain a [...]

We started baling hay today…our second cutting. Jim actually baled a couple of small fields last night and started early, about dawn on a bigger field. I took him breakfast and took over baling while he hauled. About halfway through hauling the first big field, the balewagon broke down. A major breakdown that will take [...]

Worked in the yard this morning. I’m always impressed at how quickly weeds can choke out the “good stuff” when not tended. I had to use my tough gardening shears to cut out some that had taken over in the back yard. My life gets that way, too, at times. If not tended to and [...]

A couple of weeks ago, we visited Ouray, CO and hiked through Box Canon. Another marvel of God’s creation! After hiking up a long flight of stairs and a steep trail, one can stand on High Bridge 300 feet above Canyon Creek and look down on Box Canon Falls below. (The highest point of the trail is [...]
The World Around Us: Chaco Canyon

Last Saturday we visited Chaco Canyon with friends (my first visit). What an amazing place it is! And no crowds. Just lots and lots of ruins to discover and a great hike to the top of the mesa overlooking the ruins. If you haven’t been there, I’d recommend it. It’s a good twenty miles off [...]
