Grampa Rice
November 30, 2013 Today, we celebrated Thanksgiving. It was a wonderful time. After dinner I hitched the horses and took everyone for a sled ride. It was crisp and cool, but everyone had a very warm heart 😮 I am reminded of Thanksgivings long ago, when I was…

A Short Week?
November 27, 2013 The horses enjoyed a day just romping and playing. The ground was frozen. They made no tracks with their big hooves. It seemed they could tell a storm was coming, but they had several hours of pure fun in spite of it. Many folks are about…

Moonrise
November 19, 2013 Tonight the moon is full. It is hidden partially by the clouds, but it is far more beautiful than my photograph can show. I stood and looked at the majesty, in awe. I am not scared of boogeymen or ghosts. I don’t think evil lurks under…

Where Are They Now?
November 18, 2013 I guess someone told the turkeys that they would be included in our Thanksgiving meal. They hung around for a week or so, but now are long gone. I wonder if they sorted the whole thing out? 😮 Hunting is like this too. We watch…

Tunnel Vision
November 16, 2013 Why is it that when the way seems so clear, we often deviate from the obvious? Life takes us on some interesting journeys. I remember thinking, back in high school, that I was going to be a butcher. I planned, studied, worked for free and did anything…
