It might be because he cuts firewood so that I can have roaring fires during cold weather. :) Here he is cutting up wood from one of the very large trees that we had taken down. Normally we only have trees taken down when they’re dead or dying. However this one was removed so that …

Cool Mornings
The heat was too much for us. So, we ran away again. :) This morning when I got up it was in the 50’s. Lovely! We’ve been passing an old junk yard on our way up to NC for some time. I finally asked Tommy to stop so I could get a picture of this …
We Love Wyoming
Can you see why? This is the area where we had the picnic the day after Amanda and Evan got married. Whenever we go to Wyoming we head up to the Snowy Range. Unless it’s winter and the roads are closed. :)
Happy 1st Anniversary Sara & Hall!
It was a year ago today that we welcomed Sara into our family. What a delight and wonderful addition she’s been!
We’re Back – I’m Pooped!
Normally when we return from Wyoming it takes us a day or two to recover. This time Amanda came home with us and since she hadn’t been up to North Carolina in years, she decided we must go. We were home long enough to pack up and head to BG. Hall and Sara came up …
The Enduro Trip, Day 10
Time to go home. We had another wonderful visit with Amanda, Evan, Moose, Molly and Penny. Amanda decided that since she had some time between summer school and fall classes starting, she would ride home with us. She got to share the back seat with Bubba. Take a careful look at Amanda in this picture. …
The Enduro Trip, Day 9
A day to relax and pack for the trip home. My cousin, Donna, who lives in northern Wyoming saw on Facebook that we were in Laramie. She said she wanted to stop by on her way to Steamboat Springs. So she and her grandson came about noon and stayed a while. It was nice to …
The Enduro Trip, Day 8
The day started early for everyone—earlier for Evan and Snake than for us. We left the house at a little after 7:00 a.m. to be sure that we were at the first stop for Evan. Over the 70 miles of the race, there were 5 “official” aid/feed zone stations. Our job, as the PCPC—Penny Cat …
The Enduro Trip, Day 7
This was to be a lazy, restful day. While I waited for Amanda to get up, I walked down the alley to take some pictures of the flowers. Amanda and Evan’s backyard neighbor has the most gorgeous columbines. I’ve never seen any this color. Last summer Nancy gave us some seeds from this columbine. We …
The Enduro Trip, Day 6
We finally got Evan to play hooky from work and we went on a drive where we’d not yet gone. Once again, it was beautiful! Some of the drive was on paved roads and some was on dirt roads. We found this abandoned barn and went to take a look—or at least let me take …
