This blog is a place for me to share pictures, tell stories and write about our family, our farm in Dover, Arkansas, our Faith in Jesus Christ , and our love for nature, animals and people. I hope it often makes you laugh, sometimes causes you to think, and sincerely gives you insight into who we are as we travel this amazing journey.

Beaver!
This morning while perusing my kingdom, I made a new discovery! Beavers! Well, at least tell tale signs of beavers at the pond. We’ve seen beaver signs at the Bayou before and Josh has even shot two large ones down there, but we’ve never seen beaver signs at the pond. In Arkansas, beaver are considered a nuisance. and the state offers a bounty for them. They are plentiful and cause all kinds of damage to water ways, ponds, crops and timber lands. I sure do think it would be cool to have a full blown beaver den on our place that we could watch, but I’m not sure how much damage they will cause if we let it happen. I’m going to look into it. Here are shots of what they are up to. One Maple tree cluster is clearly doomed with a whole section already fallen into the pond. They did this in one night!
