• ‘XCUSE ME! Princess Here!

    Mountain Living NOT For Sissies! APPARENTLY NOT FOR THE PRINCESS either!!!!!!!!! The Husband said I have to help haul wood today. I DECLINED. Thank you, but NO thank you. It was ever so nice of you to ask. But, I decline. At that point The Husband looked at me like I had absolutely lost my mind. (BUT, really! It’s COLD outside. AND I DON’T WANT TO!) The Husband then asked “Do you want heat this winter? Do you want a fire? Do you want to be warm?” I let him know I am The PRINCESS I don’t do menial labor. (yeah, he laughed there too) The Husband replied. “Okay chuckles, get your coat and gloves. Let’s go” Well, I see that my arguments were going nowhere.

  • Trail Cam Friday November 21, 2025

    Buck up close

    My trail cam was busy this week. 905 Videos and pictures. 90% were of course TURKEY’s. Do they NOT know what next week is?? They are mighty brave!! Okay, maybe not, they know I am NOT that motivated to have turkey for dinner. I’ll wait for the store to pluck it, clean it, stuff it. BUT, because the turkeys were so prevalent, I’m starting with this bad boy! LOOK at that rack! MAN! I hope he drops those antlers in my yard. Now either that is fog on the lens or a ghost.
