It's Earth Day! And I'm enjoying the show that nature has been putting on around here. Yesterday I was outside doing some things and the frogs were being very noisy. I decided to go and check out this one wet spot that the loudest ones were talking. Usually when you get with in a few feet of a spot like this they all become silent, but not this bunch. They were having an orgy. There was one group of about four all piled on each other. They were flipping around as if they were trying to drowned one of them. I watched as another one seeked out one that was hidden under some dead grass. It sat there for awhile talking to it and it answered back every once and while. The one under the dead grass eventually came out and was pursued by that one and another one that was a ways farther away that decided to join in the pursuit. I stood there a while watching nature unfold. Today I went to the same spot and the frogs were not there like they were yesterday and if they were they kept thei...

It's been longer then I want to since I wrote, sorry. The snow has finally melted here, but now like I said before it's very sloppy. That and it's been raining off and on for a couple of days. The other night my husband said the frogs were singing. When it's warm here the frogs are singing every night. I hope it stops raining so I can start to brush the horses. They are shedding like crazy. Anyway nothing has been happening around here that is very exciting for me. The only thing that will be happening on May 2nd is that my husband has to have a shot in his back because he has a bulging disk. Hopefully that will turn out. My youngest daughter will turn 20 on the 5th. And the end of the month she will graduate from the tech as an administrative assistant. She has been putting applications in all over. There is always so much going on in the world and I would like to comment on some of them. The polygamist group in Texas is a bigger mess then anyone could have ever dreame...

A pondering thought I often have during the day is what would it be like to travel around in a slow kind of way that is not heard of very often? Riding bicycle, walking or even traveling by horse and wagon. I like the idea of traveling around by horse and wagon. Going to places that not many people would stop and spend time learning about the area and history that will soon disappear. Meeting people you would more then likely never give a second thought about. Seeing nature. Enjoying the great outdoors. I often wonder if it would be possible to get a group of people together and do this sort of thing. People who have an interest in recording what they see. People who want to experience what it's like to travel in a different way. People who want to slow down for awhile. But then there are allot of things to think about before doing something like this. Like if you have animals, you need people who know how to handle them and make sure they are always safe. You need people who ha...

I am so tired of snow. Yesterday and last night it snowed here, again. Just when I thought maybe I'd see my lawn it was buried with more snow. And this morning driving to work was an adventure. There was about 5 inches of that nasty white stuff. I was able to follow my husbands tracks down the driveway, slowly. Once at the end of the driveway it was a good thing I didn't have to stop or I could have gotten stuck there. It was also a good thing that a couple of other people had already driven on our road or I would have been plowing more snow with the bottom of my car. It was also a good thing I didn't have to stop at the next two corners or I would have gotten stuck. Even the highway wasn't plowed, at that time. This snow was heavy so it made it easier to get stuck. But I didn't get stuck. About 15 other people didn't make it in this morning. I only have a little over 6 miles to go to get to work. Some people have to come from allot farther then I do. They had ...
