**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** Your perspective changes when you live in the country….. Things that are considered entertainment in an urban or suburban environment…sometimes loose their appeal…when you’re out in the sticks….. I recently had a conversation with my old friend…Tess….. I was so excited about planning an idea for some future entertainment….. I had to share it with someone…and I knew she’d understand…we go way back…(way…way…back)….. During the summer heat in subtropical Florida…you do a lot…

Awhile ago we started this relaxed annual tradition of having a bonfire on the Winter Solstice….. …..and we’ve had one ever since…kind of on-again…off-again…but semi-planned…nonetheless…..

The Infamous Big Purple Cups are involved…along with mediocre bourbon and cheap wine coolers…(good hang-over material)….. …..junk food…S’mores…cookies….. …..you know…a healthy meal….. Weather-willing…lawn…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** It’s the day after the Fourth of July….. A good time was had by all…(except for some exhausted frenetic dogs)….. Today…we’ll be having left-overs—baked beans…corn-on-the-cob…barbecue…the usual….. …..always good on the second day….. The various streets and sidewalks smell like burnt gunpowder and sulphur from matches….. The residue of Roman candles, bottle rockets and sparkler wires are everywhere….. Those of us with animals are taking a deep breath…and a sigh of relief….. I always…

**********Please Subscribe To My Blog…..It Really Helps********** My last post was about a flock of Black Vultures who took up residency in our goat pasture….. I’m totally cool with them co-habitating with us….. …..I also understand that the world is made up of different creatures…who can only be…what they were meant to be….. …..Vultures…are…Vultures….. They will reliably look like a vulture….. …..and reliably act like a vulture….. I think people make the mistake of trying to expect more from an…

It’s fun to sit out and watch the stars…..(if the bugs…suffocating heat…and… the rain let you)….. We always have more than enough wood to burn…..bonfires are actually a necessity…..

Tomorrow will be the Summer Solstice…..the longest…
