I haven’t had much time to write this week, no time actually. But I did manage a thought. I find it very funny that when people find out you homeschool, their initial reaction is always (at least in my experience) something along the lines of “How is she going to make friends!?”, “Aren’t you worried…
Wednesday October 23rd was spent in the South San Juan Wilderness in southern Colorado. Between the morning and evening elk hunt I managed to squeeze in time for a quick jaunt about the countryside. Here is what I saw. It was really quite challenging to ‘walk’ in a new place, my eyes had to be…
I’ll not bother writing about why we ‘pulled the plug’ on cable over 5 years ago. There have been PLENTY of talk shows, radio shows, books and blogs on that very subject. And we all know the basic message. I’ll just say that while it took me a few months to convince my husband we…
Good domestic help is so hard to find. So I just decided to give birth to mine and train them right, from the start. Just kidding! Sort of. While Addie’s only real ‘chore’ is to clean her room, and that she does amid protests of epic proportions, tossing around excuses such as “my eye hurts”,…
Have you ever noticed how some days are just good cloud days? Like God was tired of all clear blue skies and wanted some cotton candy tossed in? Today was one of those days. Morning, noon and night the clouds were a sight to behold. I could have sat at the edge of this field…
Seeing how this Wicked Chicken is freezing her feathers off amid the wilds of South San Juan, I can’t share my walk from last week, October the 15th. You will be seeing that walk as a bonus in the near future. So for today I thought it would be fun to share some of my…
I saw this horses fancy footwear back in September, I think my horse was jealous……You have to admit, leather boots are pretty sexy. Especially with the buckles and slightly worn appearance. Come to think of it I think I may be a wee bit jealous of his footwear too! 😉
As y’all know, my darling family and I are in hot pursuit of a bull elk at this moment. Prior to leaving for Colorful Colorado I prepare by making and freezing large amounts of food. Cooking in a Dutch oven over an open fire, while romantic, is not exactly practical. Last year I manged to…
Every year, during the latter part of October, my family makes the 17 hour journey to the state of Colorado in hot pursuit of the wapiti. Not only do we take ourselves, we take a friend or two plus 6 horses, 2 canvas wall tents, 2 wood burning stoves, as many coolers are we can…
Today was a special day! My little sister, who has been globe-trotting for about 5 years, flitted down at home base for awhile and came to walk with me. I rarely take people with me when I walk, and have never taken another adult, so I made sure she knew how lucky she was! (that…
