Ol' Roosters Life and Times

I am having so much fun living and blogging from the bayou that I can hardly describe it. I have not blogged much because I have spent most of my time writing other stuff such as personal entries in my journal and just my views on life. I am literally and literarily having the time of my life. I... Sign in to see full entry.

I took a few days off from writing, but I am still on the bayou have much fun. I thought it did not make much sense to write pretty much the same old stuff each and every day. So I will write a few times a week or when something important happens. That will make it more interesting. I am compiling... Sign in to see full entry.

I have not worked as hard as I did today in a very long time. I am plum worn out. The day began early and stayed frantic all day long. I worked in the garden all morning. It was time to spade some more ground; throw some refuse on the compost piles; water some; plant some; make some rows; and much... Sign in to see full entry.

Today was a day I really got back to nature. I left my dogs at the ranch and took a walk for most of the day in some wooded areas near our place. This was one of the most serene and peaceful days I have had in a long, long time. I look forward to doing this more as time goes along. I set out early,... Sign in to see full entry.

We had another beautiful day on Bayou Leskine this morning. Today we did our usual stuff. We ate several times, we mowed grass, we tended to the garden, and we took a walk. Today some writing began. I won’t include that writing in here just yet. I will compile all my thoughts and stuff and hopefully... Sign in to see full entry.

Today was another fine day on Bayou Leskine. If all my days could be like this I would be one happy camper. I am working on it. This is a great life. Getting back to nature and doing manual labor is proving to be a whole lot of fun. Our day started as the first few have. We were up early to eat... Sign in to see full entry.

Today was a great day on the bayou. We had much fun and accomplished a lot. If all our days are this much fun we will have a high time the whole while we are here. After breakfast we walked out and watched the day begin to brighten. The sun was hidden by the clouds so we could not see it rise. We... Sign in to see full entry.

Our first full day on the bayou, Leskine, opened today with much promise and we made the most of it. It was a cool start to the day with a temperature about 58°. The high made the low 80’s with partly sunny skies. It was just a wonderful day. My and my dogs, Casey and Charlie, started the day with a... Sign in to see full entry.

I am going to be a modern day Thoreau! At least that is what I hope happens to this blog and my writing. I have been presented with a unique opportunity to do something I have always wanted to do. This writing will be a chronicle of that. I will explain how this all came about and go from there. I... Sign in to see full entry.

Tonight we go back for our second money meeting. It won’t be pretty as we have fallen off the wagon over the past few years with good money management. Our situation is not hopeless, but it is not good. There were many things beyond our control, but we did our part to mess it up also. My wife is a... Sign in to see full entry.
