YOU CAN’T BUY NEW OLD BOOTS
YOU CAN’T BUY NEW OLD BOOTS On the far left side of our property the land rises quickly and forms a ridge at the top. I like to walk along the creek below then climb the ridge and follow the tree line back to the cabin. The view from the ridge is incredible in any […]
A YARD FULL OF WHITETAIL FRIENDS
A YARD FULL OF WHITETAIL FRIENDS Every evening we sprinkle sweet apple deer corn in small piles around the front yard and watch as the deer come running out of the woods to be the first to claim their share. We used to dump it all in one place but it didn’t take us long […]

DAY TRIP TO AMISH COUNTRY, OHIO
DAY TRIP TO AMISH COUNTRY, OHIO We have been doing day trips to the Amish County in Ohio for over thirty years.

WINTER WAS A LONG TIME GOING
WINTER WAS A LONG TIME GOING Winter was a long time going this year. Snow, ice and wind that blew everything sideways all seemed never-ending. For the first time since we had moved into our cabin Stan could not get up the driveway in his big four-wheel drive truck. He got close to the top […]
AN UNEXPECTED WATERFALL
AN UNEXPECTED WATERFALL I was sorting through my pictures this morning and came across this beautiful waterfall photo I took on our property last summer. I was out walking Freddie after a hard summer rain and was so excited to find this unexpected waterfall spilling from one of our ravines in the woods. We have […]
DEEP PART OF THE CREEK
DEEP PART OF THE CREEK Sunfish Creek lines the entire back of our property and in the far south corner, where it makes a 90* turn it is over 25 feet deep. It is said by the locals to be the deepest part of the whole creek. It is ranked as one of the best […]
LIVING HER BEST DOG’S LIFE
LIVING HER BEST DOG’S LIFE! Six years ago I saw an add for a female English Bulldog for sale. We had lost our beloved bulldog, Baby Girl, a few months before so I made the call. Two hours later I was way down in the Southern Ohio hills trying to find the farm […]
THE PANTRY IS FULL
THE PANTRY IS FULL… The days here in Southern Ohio are long and cold and snow blankets both the rooftops and the ground. It has not been above freezing in weeks and the wind howls and calls out it’s warning for me to stay inside by the fire. I am always thankful this […]
