What a cute hobby for a young lady!Our newest little guy has officially been dubbed "Happy-Pepper." He's a joyful little blessing, full of smiles and squeals. Also, Pinkie Pepper started up a rabbitry recently, and it's going rather well. With years of experience in breeding animals and taking care of them, it's a good fit for her, and people like the bunnies she's putting out. Enjoy the show!

This is how we do it!I know that leaving my family more often to make more money to buy more processed foods at the grocery store is an option, but I've pushed shopping carts before, and it's not that fun. For us, being producers is better than being consumers, so we like to head out into the wild and produce the harvest ourselves, together, without involving income tax. Enjoy!

A dream came true this day!My friend had only dreamed of catching gar until now, but now he's done it! With his family being newer transplants to the Ozarks, there are certain blessings around here that they just had not experienced. Personally, while there are a lot of cool things you could do out there in the world (i.e. catching Burmese pythons in the Everglades, hooking into a Peacock Bass in the Amazon, spearfishing Mahi-Mahi off the coast of Hawaii, etc.) I like to make sure that I can master my own domain, and interact with the environment around here in a way that is incredibly beneficial to my family.

It turned out well too!Back in late 2023, I had just picked up the new skill of net-making. I wanted to continue to gain reasonable and useful skillsets as I continued to age. Shortly after that, I was helping a friend who enjoyed woodcarving along with his sons. While there I started trying something else new, actually woodcarving something useful.

The day has finally come!Love, Like His is a book project that I first began working on back in 2013 or 2014. Slowly, I began to punch out a few chapters here or there on the keyboard. Then, when I came online to crypto-blog in this fantastic community, I decided to start releasing the chapters that I had already written. The goal was to use that to refresh my memory on the story and plotline as each chapter was released, to hopefully gain a following for the book at that time, and then use the momentum and interest as a driving force to push me to write the remaining chapters. That worked incredibly.

Let's get 'em!Talk about tight lines and bent rods - this got crazy. The line was so tight that the wind was making it sing, and right after I got mine pulled in, two of the Little-Peppers had successful hook sets and laid into some excellent panfish.
