My best friend Libby. She showed up at our door as a stray 8 years ago and has been with us ever since. The vet thinks she is around 15. She is blind and loves naps.

Picked these up at Costco. They are really good. I love the cayenne and associated heat.

Had never been to a Rouses grocery store. It was nice. All the people have been so supportive and nice.

Not the best picture but Libby didn’t want to pose. It is too cold!

My favorite BBQ in Dallas

Still snowing hard!

I let myself run out of loose leaf but this isn’t bad in a pinch.

Divinchi loves the Christmas tree

My travel buddy.

These oak trees were the size of a pencil when planted. I am amazed how quickly they have grown. Have planted over 15,000 trees mostly along our creek and high erosion areas for water improvements. The beavers are putting a dent in our success.

Working on restoring former CRP ground to natural prairie. Starting with strip mowing and disking.

I enjoy working outdoors on conservation projects when I can. We have a couple families of beavers. Here is a sample of their work.
