Windswept Adventure: Rip Van Winkle

The life, travels, hikes and adventures of an old codger who is retired and living with five dogs, five cats and various other critters on a small farm in northern New York.

About Me

Bill and dogs: In my life I've resided in the hayloft of a barn, adopted two teens, started a church, a school and a chorus. I've volunteered at the Rescue Mission, animal shelter (thus the house full of critters), AIDS Council and with children. Then, after all those adventures and nearing retirement, I decided to become a cattle farmer and purchased a small farm in northern New York, situated on a windswept plain north of the Adirondack mountains. I am raising purebred Red Poll cattle and a few bantam chickens. There are nearby Adirondack wilderness hikes for me to explore with the dogs. My blog tells the story in pictures and my desire is to share with you the sense of awe and wonderment I feel as I move through this world of animals, plants, people, forests, rivers, villages and starry skies. This is indeed a marvelous world. Click on any of the photos to see an extra large version.
