Herding Cattle by Houston, Dallas, Galveston, or Austin

This morning around 8:30, the neighbors were herding a few cattle up the road.  As you can see at the beginning and again at the end of the video, our new neighbor, who has the same name as a city in Texas (Houston, Dallas, Galveston, Ausin, or something like that), was clowning around for the camera.  At the very end, we were telling him he would be seen all over the world and you can hear him asking....."Are you filming or taking pictures?"  Ha.....he'll learn!

Spring Starts With Wild Flowers

I saw these little beauties on the lower end of the mine hill on the 6th of May.  I’m hoping when the rain stops I will be able to go to the top and they will be flourishing like they were last year.

White Mountains…Green Valley

With the cooler weather we’ve been having plus a little extra moisture, we still have quite a bit of snow on Mt. McCaleb.  It’s such a pretty contrast with how green the valley is from all the rain we’ve been having.

Deer On Hind Legs Eating Leaves & Blossoms

It was fun watching deer in our yard last evening.  One deer had two of our cats treed (I didn't get a picture of this because the leaves and blossoms were hiding the cats), one deer was amused by the cat on our porch (see, he's even laughing) and another deer was walking around, getting on his hind legs and eating the leaves and blossoms off our flowering crab tree.
I was thinking....hmmm....I really should scare them away and try to keep them off the yard and away from my flowers but then I finally realized they were fun to watch and the probability of keeping them off of my yard was impossible!
