Flower Child

June 21, 2010 |

Each member of The Herd has their own reputation, but we do not talk as often about Kodiak.  He is simply a very good boy, rarely causing any problem, and everyone’s good natured pal.  Anyone who ever approaches the Jeep can attest that Kodiak is always the greeting committee, most willing to share kisses and…

Bunnies and Hopping

June 19, 2010 |

Since this is Blog Hop Saturday, this story seems very appropriate. Friday night, we were doing a walk on the roads around our neighborhood.  As we have explained before, we only have one year round neighbor and none of the rental houses have any guests in them this week, so the wildlife is quite comfortable…

We hiked one of our favorite trails on Sunday, the Richland Balsam Mountain Trail.  We like it because we tend to have the trail to ourselves and because it has a point on the trail that comes out about 50 feet (15 meters) over the overlook for cars that is the highest point of the…

Ruby Tuesday – Where Nothing Happened

June 15, 2010 |

A week after the cantaloupe incident, the humans were back at The Herd Annex (hu-grandmom’s house) visiting Tartok and Ruby.  Ruby reports that no food was countersurfed.  No wrestling matches ensued.  So how would you describe this evening, Ruby?

Pizza Night – Again!

June 14, 2010 |

Our hu-dad finally got around to mowing our field.  He started at 6 a.m. Sunday morning, was finished around 11, only got the tractor stuck once (snicker), and got rained on for about 15 minutes.  When he got back to the house, we were well rested and ready to go for our adventure.  We went…
