Spring has sprung?

Everywhere you look, the desert is showing signs of awaking after a long winters sleep...

Such a sad sight...

Not much left in the saloon, time to stock up for summer!

Redneck chariot, or you might be a redneck

Country music, wild horses and cows, dirt roads and train crossings, cold beer at 6am, my neck couldn't be any more red!

Spring is in the air...

Love mornings like these...

The very first sign of spring...

Been a very cold late winter in the sticks, nice to see the trees start to bloom and bud. Here is our fruitless plum...

Switching it up

Normally I don't reference others sites, but this something I've been reading about for sometime...

Wretha's Adventures Living Off Grid: Freezer Fridge Conversion: Have you ever been certain that you did something only to discover that you, in fact, did not do it??? Well, this is one of those cases......

--------------------
The more I read about this, the more I am certain that this is the answer to my summer food storage woes. I have to try it...

As for the blog I've referenced, I've spent the past few hours reading it, if you have time, check it out, truly amazing story. I'm glad I found it...

Life in the sticks

Just too much to enjoy... Have a happy and safe St. Patrick's day personally we are celebrating a b-day and enjoying family...

Great afternoon...

Although I'm sick, and my back hurts like crazy, enjoying the afternoon at the ranch, surrounded by fur babies, with the daughter...

Puppy love

My daughter loves this mutt...

Damn, beer run!

Slipping, sliding, and having a blast!

A first for me...

Cruising home yesterday,  I spotted a good sized herd of Pronghorn Antelope.  They were running along the road for close to quarter mile, unfortunately by the time I was able to grab the cell and set up for a shot they were heading out toward the mountains.

I'll include my poor pics (cells just don't do long distance shots very well) but I'm also including a couple of internet pics for those not familiar with what an antelope is...

What are you doing this stormy afternoon?

Personally I'm sitting here, reading a great book, enjoying the fire, cold adult beverage, and great country music in the background... Doing the day off right!

Rain sleet hail and snow... I've seen it all today!

And I'm enjoying every minute of it!

Round two coming in...

Enjoying the stormy weather, as round two rolls in...
