First Post and Intro

I've decided to start a blog to keep friends up on our life (going to be a short blog if that's all I do!). In addition, I will be posting pics of activities and crafts I've been doing. In fact, as we finish our To-Do List, I'll post pictures since I forget to show people our grand activities.

My husband, Richard, and I live in Sparks, Nevada, and love the wide open spaces and the high desert. We watch our goose family grow throughout the summer and have a myriad of birds that wake us each morning with their songs. We had rabbits this winter but suspect they either took off or got caught by one of the coyotes or other roaming predators. Circle of life, you know.

We've watched hawks and white snow geese and listen to the honking of the geese leaving for other habitats in the fall.

Keep watching our blog and we'll take for a trip on the Ficklin Bandwagon. Could be fun...!
