MPEC, 1000 5th Street, Wichita Falls, TX 76301. Join in on the holiday fun Nov. 10-11 at the Wichita Falls MPEC. It is free and open to the public! There will be over 225 vendors with unique arts, crafts, wreaths, coins, quilts, collectibles, military items, baskets, pottery, jewelry, food, photos with Santa and much more! There will also be a collection for non-perishable food items to support the Wichita Falls Area Food Bank and Sheppard AFB and Family Readiness Food Pantry. The show will be Nov. 10 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Nov. 11 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The annual Hangar Holiday Bazaar is our main fundraiser for funding the Sheppard Spouses Club annual scholarship and charitable grants.

As winter plods along – come Spring and gopher mounds – homeowners and farmers find themselves playing a familiar song – fiddling while Rome is burning.
Let’s make a mountain out of a molehill. Those mounds on your lawn and pasture could be moles, but they’re more than likely gophers; Plains Pocket Gophers to be pragmatic – Geomys bursarius to be scientific.
These rodents dig and chew, and the damage they can do goes beyond the mounds we mow over. Iowa State University cited a study in Nebraska showing a 35 percent loss in irrigated alfalfa fields due to the presence of pocket gophers; the number jumped to 46 percent in decreased production of non-irrigated alfalfa fields.
The internet is replete with academic research from coast-to-coast on how to curtail gopher populations, or at least control them. Kansas State University – then called Kansas State Agricultural College – also published a book [Bulletin 152] in February 1908 focused exclusively on the pocket gopher.

Everyone needs a room with a view that makes their heart happy. My honest favorite panorama would be either the mountains or the ocean. I have yet to convince my hubby to make permanent moves to either, although he does enjoy the visits as much as I do.
The location of our house on our ranch does not provide the expansive field of vision of our land that I would enjoy. So, I have created a room decorated and furnished in a way that gives me smiles, giggles, and a wonderful peace-filled feeling when I am hanging out in it. I am in that place right now writing this column. I am in a lounging position with my computer in my lap on the chaise that was once my sweet mama’s. I had it reupholstered this year to give it a fresh look.

Babies are tucked away in every nook and cranny. Many ranchers across Wyoming have baby animals popping up all over this time of year.
