Darby the Pirate

Theresa and I are hiking in the beautiful Adair Nature Preserve next door to where we live.

Darby cools her belly in Gum Branch creek that runs behind our house in Adair Nature Preserve.

Here’s a photo of me at about age 3 with my dog Jody, a beagle mix.  I was very sick as a child, and when I’d run a fever, Jody would lay in bed with me.  Occasionally my mom would find Jody laying across my already-hot forehead!  But I’m not sure why my hands are [...]

Shadow and Darby [...]

We woke up to an inch of snow Saturday morning, so we went for a long hike out back.  Good thing we got out early because most of the snow had melted by noon. Theresa and Shadow can’t help but smile while hiking through the pretty snow.
