Known for their docility. 18-month...

And before one freaks out over them just ask the five year old who used to live in your house about them, frank answers are always shared. Like these two, totally harmless yet big. 4 Deer are cute in a Bambi kind of way but it's all a front.The deer stomp dogs here all the time, even ones being politely walked on leash. 7 Mention Oc...

Welcome to the journey,the tale and the saga of our. Thursday, November 13, 2014. Hey did you notice? I changed things a bit. The photo in my header is of my quiet corner in the house. It's in the dinning area by the big picture window so I can look out to think. Chance brought home the rocking chair as a surprise for me. I had seen in at our local Habitat for Humanity Restore, it creaks as I rock which I absolutely love. Chance's work was throwing out the furs so those came home to me as well. I have ma...

Welcome to the journey,the tale and the saga of our. Thursday, November 13, 2014. This was Sunday, Chance cut and I stacked. It was a lovely fall day, sunny with a cool wind.

I guess Chance had gotten up in the night to add wood to the stove because he noticed the house was suddenly cooler. On the back half of the property. Sol has merrily excepted ...

Welcome to the journey,the tale and the saga of our. Friday, October 24, 2014. I feel a little lame for restarting my blog and then rarely actually writing.

Up in the hills above us live the Vine Maples who have turned to flame red a surprise in the ...
