Just back from a great weekend  and plentiful animals up in Shreveport.
The pictures with the horses were taken at Holly Hill Farm in Benton, LA.

When coming home last night I saw the first rose in bloom!
I'm about finished with cleaning up of my landscape and will post pictures soon;)

Christian the lion... True Love!

Back in the saddle!

I took my Colnago C50 out on this beautiful first day of spring and I'm elated with how well my shoulder held up! Got 20 miles in for a first time, since a long time. Seems I'm on my way back to build base-miles;)


Having said this, it's become apparent that sitting in an aero-dynamic position is out of the question. Hence my beloved Look 596 Time Trial Bike will change ownership soon... Sad to see her go, though grateful for the great time I had, riding this beautiful French piece of art!!!

Spring is in the air!

Got some major trimming of the palms done, just in time for the first day of spring! Wednesday time for fine-tuning the beds and putting fresh mulch down;)
Content with the looks of it for now, enjoying a beautiful Sunday in peace and quiet, in loving company of sweet Millie!

Full Moon!

Tonight the full moon was closest to mother earth since 18 years ago....
All I can say, it was humbling and mesmerizing, just looking at her!! In awe!

R.I.P. Sammy

Sammy has found her infinite rest, after having been a loyal, fun companion for 13+ years. She has given everybody who has known her so much love and joy...
Sammy, thanks for a lifetime of great memories, I'll miss you lots!!!

Old Gringo Elvis Eagle Lux and Copper Vintage

These Elvis Boots by Old Gringo offer the unique trend of Old Gringo. Produced in Lux And Copper, the boots are shaped for Mens fashion. Style #M105-32 Old Gringo Boots are sure to impress.
Tribute to Elvis and his boots of the early 70's, they have produced this classic Elvis Eagle Vintage cowhide 13" Vintage Rust with vintage bone eagle inlay 2" stacked leather under-slung cowboy heel and pointed toe. All old gringo boots are hand made to the highest standard with 3/4 welt construction.
I received these boots yesterday and upon opening the box, a love affair started!
Once on my feet, they felt like gloves instantly!!!

Happy Mardi Gras!

Wishing everybody a safe, fun filled

Happy Mardi GRAS.

Pain at the Pump

In a way today's prices of gasoline are recalling memories of Holland (23 years ago..). Yet it is funny the way it has been portrait at this gas station, using today's text\facebook lingo!

Dunhill Pipe and WO Larsen

No approval of my Urologist, never the less a tremendous joy to me, just lighting up a bowl of WO Larsen in a Dunhill pipe. It is one of those things... "If I have to explain, you wouldn't understand."
Even our Native Americans saw a useful purpose to this ritual, which in their circles promoted appropriate communication and peace!
