Letters From a Land of Grass - Porcupined Plans (9-13-2024)

When a calf attempts to make friends with a porcupine, I have to change my plans to get those quills out as quickly as I can. I'm not as much of a cowboy as some so I need fast horses, a chute, vinegar, pliers and some skilled help.

 

Enjoy!

When I stand on a ridge of oceanic shale and see endless peaks in every direction, I have to admire the people who first explored these mountains.

 

I hope you had a meaningful Labor Day, too.
