Just a day in my life and the long road to Home Depot to fix the toilet!

Spring in the Three Acre Wood - Woodstock, Georgia

I just love the Spring. Listening to the birds, watching the plants come to life - it's really a pleasure. I took some shots of stuff around the place and I hope you enjoy!

Snow in the Three Acre Wood - Woodstock, Georgia

My first snow in the Three Acre Woods - what an opportunity to discover that it is cold tending to my mini farm and the mini farm animals in cold weather! - They did great. Worst of it was frozen water which was easily remedied. The last time it got really cold here I had gone to Tractor's Supply to see about heat for the chickens and the salesperson told me it wasn't necessary, that the people who bought them really were just making themselves feel better. He said that in our area it's not necessary, so I took him at his word that time, and this and the chickens are fine, as are the goats. The brown goats, neutered males, are Nigerian dwarf goats and the cute white female, Rosemary is an African Pygmy. I had originally named the males something else but it was quickly determined that Beavis and Butthead were more appropriate descriptions!

It was also fun to walk the property to look for opportunities to take some photos - and here they are. I hope you enjoy them!

The Adventures of Coon Hound Daddy and his Sidekick - Armuchee Bluegrass Festival

The REAL Coon Hound Daddy

When I first met Coon Hound Daddy back in 1973, I thought the banjo he played was so interesting. I had not run across banjos much as a child of two New England born and raised parents, and so I was intrigued, by both Coon Hound Daddy and his banjo.


As fate would have it, Coon Daddy proposed, I accepted and 42 years later I'm still listening to that banjo, less intrigued, but I'm making the best of it with my camera. He has added a few more instruments along the way so at least a variety....

Yesterday we took a drive to Armuchee, Georgia to a Bluegrass Festival that has been around for 20 some years. I did what I could with the camera to tell the story. I hope you enjoy the photos!

She was a great mandolin player!

So was he!
