Biography

We manage a 40 acre wildlife area of the Texas Hill Country in the Edwards Plateau at about 3030 ft above sea level. The region is notable for its karst topography and tall rugged hills of limestone. The terrain throughout the region is punctuated by a thin layer of topsoil and a large number of exposed rocks and boulders, making the region very dry and prone to flash flooding. Native vegetation in the region includes various yucca, prickly pear cactus, native grasses and wildflowers. The predominant trees in the region are Ashe Juniper, Shin Oak and Texas Live Oak. Soil is alkaline consisting of caliche and clay.

European Wall Lizard; friend or foe?

We used to have pretty little lizards.

Then we got a cat. No more lizards.

Yes, the idea was to try and combine the best of both tools: Hugelkultur beds and swales. The idea is that rain would catch on my "Hugelswales". Filling the ditches with wood then topping with dirt was the original plan, but I'm wary now after watching the Paul's Hugelkultur smackdown video on YT.

Instead maybe fill the ditches with gravel and top with soil.

Since I have not watch that video, what do you feel Paul would recommend?

Looking for ideas similar to scrapbooking

My idea is to use a file folder, the kind with pockets and makes a three-ring binder.

Pink in color.

I bought rose decals to decorate the cabinets in the camper so adding a few of those to the front.

Inside I will have page pockets with pictures I got from the breeder, the birth certificate, the health record, then misc. medical records.

What do you think?

I look at scrapbooking stuff though I was not impressed ...

We are going to be camping and I want something I can take out if I need to show her health certificate, etc.

Maybe something with her picture on it or something cute.

Looking for ideas similar to scrapbooking

We got a new puppy a few months ago and I want to organize her medical records.

I need ideas for something cute, organized, and handy so I am looking for suggestions ...

She looks just like this even though I found this picture on the net:

Red Dachshund; big ears and big paws ...

Her name is Princess. I have never given a dog a nickname until now ...

Lil Sneak or Lil Toot. She also gets called Trouble a lot because that was our dog that passed away in December.

Personal life goal: to change/broaden the modern definition of wealth/prosperity

I am unsure about trying to change the definition of wealth/prosperity as there are just too many folks that fit that category.

I have already changed my definition of wealth/prosperity so I am happy with my life.

My suggestion would be to do what you can within your spectrum.
