Deputy Wall a hero at the Pampered Angus Ranch

A first for me, blue lighted to stop on my new mini Mahindra tractor/mower. All for a good cause. Deputy Emily Wall is a hero once again. She stopped me on Little Miss Mahindra while I was mowing to alert me one of my little girls had a piece of plastic stuck in her mouth. I jumped in the feed truck and towed them to the feed trough and was able to trade plastic for feed. Once again a girl saved from a plastic bag. Last time Miss Shannon and the crew at Kwik Lube were in hot pursuit of one with an ice bag stuck in their mouth. Feed truck works much better than on foot chase as they found out. So great we have the whole community watching out for us over here. Comments | Permalink

Birds of Kentucky: Green Heron

All About Birds describes the green heron as both "small" and "secretive." Sometimes, the best place to view a green heron is sitting among the cattails at the water's edge, staring through the branches of a willow tree. Comments | Permalink

Travel: Kanarra Falls (1 of 3)

Robert writes, "This hike in Kanarraville, Utah, has been high on our to-do-list for a few years. On past visits, the water has been too cold to hike in. Since our most recent trip was in late May, we decided it was 'now or never.'
The trail is in a fee permitted area, and has a reservation maximum of 200 visitors per day. It appears that it is now sold out until July (but you can get on a waiting list). It is rated a moderate hike.
I would have to add 'strenuous' to that... up and down the trail, crossing the ice-cold creek numerous times, plus it's a 4-mile hike. The first mile and a half is mostly trails like this one, finishing with the last half mile in the creek. Here, Navigator Tammy is taking a breather before we descend down into the canyon/creek."
