Happy Fall Y'all

The first day of autumn is upon us!

The Three Amigos

Turkey Lurkey (in the middle) and her two cohorts, Martha Stewart (right) and of course, the big star (he thinks and they let him...) Mr. Gregory Peck, the rooster have a problem....

at least I think it is a problem....

is being afraid of your house a problem? Is there a self help book for that?

At dusk, Gregory Peck heads for the deck rail to roost. Even in the driving rain and wind he hunkers down, miserable but determined.

night after night this goes on...

"Get outta my bedroom!"

"Turn off the lights and QUIT taking pictures" he seems to say with one bleary eye aimed my way...

I hate to be the one to point it out but sleeping on a deck rail is making yourself a sitting duck (so to speak) sorry for mixing the poultry metaphors but it seems to bear pointing out.


The chicken coop sits abandoned and the mystery is why?

Remembering the Fundamentals

Some things never change.



They are basic and intrinsic to our well being.




 What we need to thrive, to be our most content...




rest when you need to, no matter what everyone else is doing...

eat plenty of good food....

take a nice walk in the sun with a good friend...

if a loving friend gives you a gentle nudge, pay attention...

stay curious...

and always keep in mind the big picture...
