Carol's Dragon Fly Ranch home of Carol's Pond

November 10, 2020


Well, the blog is up and running at: Carolspond.blogspot.com


I will be on FB for about a week and then I will deactivate my account. And then all news from Carol's Pond will be on the blog. Speaking of the blog, nothing will be tracked and their will not be any advertisements on it.


There is a new network that I may look into. It is: https://parler.com/auth/access and they say no censorship etc.


But in the mean time, fall colors are finally beginning to show up here at Carol's Pond. Many of the trees have yet to turn but there is some color.


Sunday night I had to chase Samantha out with a shoe. She was wanting to move in. That is not acceptable. Whitey has been here about everyday and he even tried to take over the turtles log. The turtles did not care but another Great White Egret came along and chased him off the log. But he was back on it the next day. One day there were 3 Great White Egrets flying across the pond. Cold weather up north must be driving them this way.


I have not seen any ducks this season. There are not any resident ducks on Carol's Pond and we do not have Canada Geese here. Occasionally there will be 4 or 5 ducks stop in, eat, rest and move on.


A couple of people suggested I look into software that will translate voice to text. I will investigate and see. I would like to be able to try it before buying it. The Parkinson's Disease adversely effects ones throat muscles and thus the voice. My voice goes up and down the scale like a teenagers. I would like to know if the software can handle that modulation.




Later,

Rex

    Keep on writing this, or whatever method it take to continue with Carol's Pond stories. It's nice that you can share a little bit of what's happening at your place
    in Texas.

  Carol's Dragon Fly Ranch Home of Carol's Pond July 10, 2023 I think it is time for the rest of the story as the late Paul Harvey would have said: Many of you know that Carol passed away on November 29, 1966. I was at Ball State when it happened. After her funeral, I returned to Ball State. But I only stayed a few days. I had one professor who was a communist and liked to preach at us from the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and another one that was gay. Him being gay was his business, but I did not pay money to hear him talk about how great it was to be gay. If I had stayed in school, I would have had to hit one of them. They were not worth me going to jail over, so I dropped out. My mind was all screwed up. So I went drinking. I stayed drunk from December 1966 to January 1968. Uncle Sam's USAF sobered me up. I don't regret those 14 months but I do not want to ever go through that again. Fast forward to 1970, I married Susie. That marri

Carol's Dragon Fly Ranch home of Carol's Pond March 7, 2021 Hopefully hibernation season is over. It appears that spring has sprung. There were a lot of daffodils blooming in the side ditch but a hard rain beat about all of the blooms off the stems. But more popped up, including the ones in Carol's yard. Also there are tiny white flowers and some blue and purple ones as well and of course my favorite, dandelions. During that cold snap, Carol's Pond froze over and that is not acceptable at all. Mother Nature are you listening? There were several ducks that stuck around most of the winter, but I have not seen them today. They were very fast swimmers, fast enough to create a good wake behind them. I dubbed them the Shore Patrol. Those of you that were in the military know what the shore patrol is. For those that weren't, it is Naval Military Police. There has also been a darter around this spring. A darter is a type of cormorant and its feathers a

  Carol's Dragon Fly Ranch Home of Carol's Pond August 7, 2023 It has been an eventful couple of weeks. My friend Tom and I have been power washing and staining the deck. About 2 weeks ago I was power washing the deck and stepped in a fire ant nest. I do not have much feeling in my left foot. Finally they got above my knee and I discovered the monsters. I stripped out on the deck. But the damage was done. There was about a 2 inch band all around the top of my ankle high socks. They even got down inside my sock and bit my big toe!!! Now that is just mean. This was on Thursday. Friday I was kneeling and trying to connect a hose to the spigot. I lost my balance and fell landing half on and half off the deck. My right ribs aren't real happy yet. But the worst was having my right arm land right in a fire ant nest. For most, no big deal, but I am not strong enough to get up off the ground. I was in that nest for over an hour. My phone was inside. I yel
