I’m overdue for a blog post, although I’ve lately put more words down on paper than is typical for me. This is because Little Jack Kerouac, our Texas Brown Dog, has been dictating his memoir of his first year and a half before adopting us. Acting as Jack’s scribe has taken more time than I anticipated, but answers many questions such as where he came from, why he hates panel trucks, squirrels, and armadillos, and why he feels so at home at Medicine Spirit Ranch.

I will post Jack’s story in the near future and do so as a series of posts. In the meantime I offer my readers inspiring pictures of nature’s wonders at Medicine Spirit Ranch. Such sights give me a feeling of awe and wonderment. Below are some of my favorites that I hope you too will enjoy.

Painted Buntings have been prevalent this year. Their beauty never fails to stop me in my tracks
Ground feeding Cardinals are daily visitors to our bird feeders
Great Blue Herons according to folklore predict good luck. The ducks have proven less successful because of predators
Wildflowers such as the Bluebonnet grace our ranch in the Spring
The waterfall that gives Hidden Falls Ranch its name
The ranch just wouldn’t be the same without Border collies. From bottom to top: Bandit, Molly, and Buddy

Nature has a healing effect and of this I am certain. I hope these glimpses of life at Medicine Spirit Ranch provide you with a measure of pleasure and awe that I regularly experience.
Oh, and Happy Father’s Day to all you fathers!
