Knee Deep In Peacocks

I know there are at least two peacocks at this home in Rancho Tehama about fifteen miles from Corning. The one in the tree announced my arrival with a very loud cry as I approached the house. I heard they were good watch dogs and I can now believe it from the loud sound they make when strangers approach. The lady that lives here has numerous rose bushes and she insisted that I cut as many roses as I wanted for a bouquet for my wife. She even furnished the knife and bags. People are wonderful, ain't they! (Just click on the pictures for a larger view).

Another House of Worship

Two giant palm trees fronts the St. Andrews Episcopal Church as you travel west on Solano Street in Corning. I pass by this eloquent old church almost daily as I make my deliveries in Corning. Today was a beautiful sunny day. (Just click on the pictures for a larger view).

The Diamond Back Ranch

The Diamond Back Ranch is located on Round Valley Road about ten miles beyond the community of Paskenta. These rolling hills at the base of the mountain range seems to be ideal for the Long Horn Cattle this ranch raises. The delivery I make is medicine and I leave it in a plastic bag tied to the other side of the security gate. Since the ranch house sets way back from the gate I usually blow my horn several times to let them know a delivery has been made. Today was a cloudy day as you can see.
