my shed,circa 95?

There have been many fine,or at least fun,concerts in there.
Very often folks would have to listen from outside,but that was OK.
I usually had a little bon-fire going. And some meat,and vegetables from the garden,on the grill. I think on the best night we had about 35 people here. more shed stuff later,hopefully. Thanks for reading.

My old turtle buddy ready for a snake dinner.

I forgot I had this shot of him.This is only a small snake 12-16 inches.
I have seen him gulp down a three foot long Water Moccasin.
As I write this,I have a nice piece of Hog-Jowl thawing.It is for when he gives me that look that I know means "What do you have for me tonight?".

My Chickens Past

The first shot is downstairs,looking out the back window of my 'study'.

(re:study-It was supposed to be my room for privacy,peace,and contemplation.As usual God had a better plan than me!My study is often filled with people that love me.And they talk and talk,change my channel,take over my computer,grandson fusses if he is not being fed,grand-daughter scatters toys and spills drinks,etc.etc. Then when they leave me to my quiet and lonely study,I am sad and I miss all the commotion!)

Oh yes,the chickens.You can just make them out sitting on the rail I made around my little garden.And in the second shot they are pecking around between my home and my shed....My poor,tired,old shed.A whole 'nother story there....... I had been wanting chickens for ten or fifteen years.My wife,Wanda,wasn't at all thrilled at the prospect.But when five fairly small chickens flew into my yard from out of the woods,Wanda said "Carl I think God sent those chickens to you." Five fine roosters they turned out to be,and since I fed them they stayed with me for about two years.I really enjoyed feeding them,talking to them,and just watching them carry on like roosters will.
