Here it is the later half of January and winter weather is here. Every state with the exception of Florida has received snow. To top it all off, this past Monday was known as "Blue Monday" because a British Psychologist says it is the most depressing day of the year. I hope your January is … Continue reading Believe In What You Can Accomplish

Lumberjack For An Afternoon
I had the chance to clear some brush and fallen trees off of a fence-line. Cutting firewood is one of my favorite memories of working with my dad as a kid.

It Finally Snowed
We got about 7 inches of snow on the ranch. There is a lot of work to be done, besides playing around in it, after all this much snow in Southern Arkansas doesn't happen that often.

Pistol found a new friend to play with and the sights are pretty awesome. Too bad all the roads will be solid ice in the morning...Untouched and quiet … Continue reading Snow Time in Arkansas
