Our Walking Trail

All Photographs on this page are copyrighted.

These are three photos of our walking trail, it runs across the farm and down into the lowlands beside the Yellowwood Branch. It is a beautiful walk with animals and all sorts of birds. I walked up on a turkey in the swamp area one morning and it was a sight when it took off when I got to close. We have to cut this trail often because it is in a wet area and the grass grows very quickley.

Making Hay


My insurance agent cuts the hay on our fields and we give it to him for free just to keep the fields cut every summer. The farm looks so much better with all of the fields cut and the hay bales sitting in them.

Honoring Our Fallen Comrades/ Baby Sister

The flags are put out each Memorial Day weekend to honor our fallen troops who have given the ultimate sacrifice. Everyone should take a moment to remember these troops and realize that they gave all for the freedoms that we take for granted. God Bless America and all of our troops at home and all over the world. Thank You
Baby Sister taking one of her many daily strolls and inspecting my newly planted grass. The nightime animals must like it also, there are many deer tracks every morning.

Tree Frog

I found this little critter while I was cleaning up a limb that had fallen during the night while a rain storm was passing over. I just happened to look up and it was right over my head, so I quit working and went and got my trusty nikon to take a photo. This afternoon I checked and it was still on it's perch, but had turned in the opposit direction. For a larger view just click on the picture.

DW and Cousin

This is my DW on the left and she is a twenty eight year survivor, thanks to the Lord. On the right is my dear cousin Becky who was disagnosed this year with cancer and she is currently undergoing treatment. Our prayers are with her every day and look forward to the day that she will be pronounced cancer free.

Spring Flowers


The purple iris was a volunteer that came up in my row of lariopi and I left it and it has produced several nice blooms. The yellow plants are water cannas and I have them in my goldfish ponds.

Relay For Life 2008



These are photos that I took at the 2008 Relay for Life in Warren County, N.C. DW and other friends are Survivors and I take photos each year of this event and have some put in the newspaper that I freelance for and send them photos to choose. The Flower at the top is a photo of one that was given to each survivor.
