MASTER BUCK
MASTER BUCK POSES FOR PICTURE Master buck poses for picture. Stan and I were heading to town and as we pulled up the driveway I spotted a large buck running across our back lot down by the creek. We knew the buck would have to cross the road if he kept going in the direction […]
CABINETS DECKED FOR CHRISTMAS
CABINETS DECKED FOR CHRISTMAS I just finished getting our kitchen cabinets decked for Christmas, and I gotta tell you, I am pretty excited how they turned out. It was super easy and only took thirty minutes to complete. I started by arranging a misfit collection of old crocks and jugs along the top . Next, […]
FIRST SNOW SENDS MEMORIES SWIRLING
FIRST SNOW SENDS MEMORIES SWIRLING The first snow of the season was sparse but it was still enough to change the world outside the cabin and paint it mostly white.

BEST SEAT IN THE CABIN

MASTER OF THE WOODS
MASTER OF THE WOODS Rut season has a way of making the big bucks crazy. It causes them to do things against their nature . It emboldens them to move out from the cover of the trees and the darkness and to be seen in their majestic glory in the light of day. I went […]
HARMONY
HARMONY We have six whitetail deer that come to visit us almost nightly. We sprinkle sweet apple flavored deer corn under the trees by the driveway. They hear us shake the can, they smell the sweet smell and they come out of the trees in numbers. It has even gotten to the point that if […]
RAINY DAYS
Rainy Days I like rainy days. I like to look out at the view. My view. The creek before me. The woods to my right. The open valley to my left. It is a beautiful place to live and I don’t take for granted for even one second how lucky I am to call this […]
