This Just In!

Just got back from six incredible days at the Yonderosa, way too much to tell so I'll try to save some words by using some pictures.

The primary reason for our trip was to make progress on our little building. We managed to get some siding on and took Happy Days' (thanks Deb) advice and tried earth tones. Yonderosa Green and Greener



The Soffit on the Eves and Gable Ends turned out great, still have the Porch Soffit to do.



Two more Windows! Besides a great view we watched Deer feeding in the meadow, a Coyote hunting down by the Kirby Creek and enjoyed a Sky full of Stars though them. Sitting behind them enjoying a wonderful meal and a glass of wine is more proof, Life IS Good.



There were distractions... While the Turkeys were not in the mood to play the Trout were eager to maul my flies. You should have seen the one that got away...



The trailer worked great. Over 600 miles of shuttling tools and materials - zero problems.




Weather - Always adding spice to experience. We had Sun, Rain, Snow, Wind and Frost, sometimes in the same day. It was nice to have a cozy place to retreat to and actually enjoy the variety.

In quiet moments

"Work is only work when you'd rather be doing something else." Or so it is said.

To this point much of time at the property has been task driven - County/State forms and fees, meetings, construction, etc... Despite all of the official business we did manage to infuse the trips with many pleasurable moments. Overall it has been enlightening and enjoyable.

Gaillardia aristata - Blanket Flower. A camera and field guide recommended for a walk in the meadow.


Whitetail and Mule deer frequently feed and travel through the meadow.


A hansom Rainbow Trout fooled by my fly in the nearby lake.
