Contemplation From A Mountain Man

Reader Contribution by Bruce Mcelmurray

Living on our little homestead on the side of a mountain is a great way to live. There are abundant deer plus other wild animals. Yesterday morning Carol had to make a grocery trip to town and as she was leaving for town just down the road from our house a mountain lion (very large mountain lion according to her) crossed the road in front of her.  Where there are deer there are usually mountain lions nearby and we have lots of deer. 

Those are  the really great things about living off by ourselves on the side of our mountain.  There are downsides also.  One of which is that last night a pack rat chewed the tops off my potato plants ‘on our deck’ so that only the stems are left.  I will try to save the tub of potatoes but I suspect he will return tonight and finish the job.
