Slim Randles is today’s guest with a reminder of what a cool summer evening can feel like. Sometimes we are blessed with the most perfect weather. We had one of those nice evenings here the other day and I took my dog for a long walk. I cut some flowers and he waited patiently for […]

Slim Randles is back as today’s Wednesday’s Guest with a story about a man and a horse. I know we’re met Steve and ol’ Snort before, but it’s always nice to touch base with friends again. Slim has been writing about these guys who frequent the Mule Barn Truck Stop for so long, they are

As a special treat today, I have Slim Randles with a fun post about graduation and graduation speakers.

This picture of Lily that I took the other day has nothing to do with the subject of this blog post. I just thought it was a nice image to carry into the weekend. And I don’t know if she had been sleeping this way, or just slowly making her way from the top perch

Before moving on to Slim Randles guest post for today, I want to share this photo I took the other day. Sometimes the pictures just turn out perfect. Not because of any great expertise on my part, however. I think it’s just luck. I took several shots of this gathering of wildflowers from different angles,
