For Christian American readers of this blog:


I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.

The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!


A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:

"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."

Thanks Jack!

I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

Pleasant visit by neighbors ... thanks tom & C!

A pleasant visit by neighbors....



Wouldn’t it be great to have a backyard like this one? 
A pleasant visit by neighbors sharing a backyard.

Eva in the pyramid
Our house was built in the deer's natural habitat in a remote rural area.
Well worn deer trails cut through the property's abundant pine and sage.
The oldest deer we've met (we call her Mama Rose)
walked right up to us when we first arrived, sniffing and looking us over.

Rose and her kin obviously think the yard belongs to them as much as anyone else.
They especially like clover flowers, but it's amazing to see
the variety of tasty flowers, leaves, twigs, nuts and berries they'll eat.
They stay away from herbs and herbal flowers,
but on occasion we've seen young deer
eating the sweet medicinal berries of the Juniper tree
While often running into the yard to greet us with their quiet enthusiasm,
they will also swiftly shy away from strangers.
Although notoriously skittish, able to leap meters in the air in an instant when startled, a few deer we know will let us touch them as if we were family,
letting us scratch them or pick something out of their fur.
Eva even enjoys a hearty back rub!
We've certainly learned a lot about how to act around them so as not to disturb them.
We think they appreciate our efforts in fitting into their neighborhood.

Young Ram

She doesn't care about the legs or the plastic rat -
After the photographer leaves
She'll eat one of those pumpkins by the tree


Rasa giving Charlotte a third eye massage
(when he was very young we thought this guy was female.
But when his velvet antler brow first began to appear, and we realized our mistake, we decided to leave him as a buck named Charlotte )
Lisa ringing the front door bell with her nose
could be any afternoon

Well, come right in .. . .

Thank you for reading, feel free to pass this along.

Is this not the most precious thing ever?

The nicest place to be is in someone's thoughts.
