Laticia sent this photo of the poncho she wove using the 3′ tri Randy made for her. She is weaving alpaca for the breeder who was impressed with her work at a recent show. Looks like she is going to have lots of business. She does beautifyul work, as you can see. I love when [...]

We had a sprinkling of snow on the lawns and roofs this morning… an Evil Warning of what’s to come! :angry: Oh yes… I seem to have reached that stage of life when I love a bit of snow on Christmas morning and the rest of the time I love it on the mountain tops!:D [...]

While starting to move my house plants indoors for the coming winter I just happened to recall that this plant moved here with me from Florida in 1979. My sister had given me the start of it… I can’t remember when… but this is my oldest plant and the only survivor of that other life. [...]

I talked about my fall colors in the ad this week so I thought I’d post a picture of what I meant. This is the Hickory tree that Grandfather planted from some nuts his brother sent from back east, years ago. It is really pretty this time of year. It doesn’t last long but really [...]

This is before on the left and after on the right. We’ve been talking about it for years but just never got to it. But today the whole yard was smelling like a the still had burst! lol The tree makes a bumper crop of pity bad tasting apples that even the deer won’t eat [...]
