Thanksgiving at the Heissers

There was turkey, there was ham, there was prime rib, there was macaroni and cheese, there was so much good food we could not help but eat too much. Good times were had by all. As the family gathers at holidays, the stories are as rich as the food.

Animals on the Ranch

As much as we try, the animals seem to see our homesite as a food and drink magnet. During the evenings the deer get brave and come into the pond for a drink. Occasionally we are visited by a young road runner. Wild pigs, badgers, racoons and coyotes are more secretive and harder to photograph but we know they visit us because we see their footprints in the sand.
