Each year, to celebrate another 12 months of wedded bliss, my husband and I sail off for an exotic, sun-soaked vacation. We bath in the warmth of life, drink the wine of love all while white-robed, tan-skinned attendants tend to our every need. NOT! But we do make it a point each year to skip town…
This Wednesday began perfectly brilliant and I thought “hmm, I’ve got heaps of time to walk on this beautiful, sunny day”. This resulted in my procrastination to the evening hours which brought not only low light but rain and cold. Pitter patter on my head was the tune I danced to along our back forty. …
I like to plant my onions anywhere from the 15th to the 18th of January. Don’t ask me why, that’s just what I’ve always done and I’ve pretty much had good onions and I’m not a big fan of change….so there ya’ go. But this year I didn’t plant until yesterday, the 25th! Horrors! But…
So I kinda have a ‘thing’ for baby cows. The problem is most of the time we get baby calves to borrow (for my husband and step-son to rope) and when they get too big we must return them. Then came Rachel. Rachel arrived on a cold, rainy afternoon last week, confined in the toolbox…
Recently I was on my way to work, easing down my bumpy dirt road watching the sun rise and Alabama’s song ’40 Hour Week’ came on the radio. As I listened I was reminded just how blessed I am to live in a country where I am able to work, worship and live as I…
As I’ve been super crazy busy this past week, adjusting to my new, super-fantastic job, traveling over-night to Fort Worth for a book convention with one of my bestest friends and just dealing with life in general I find myself one post short for the week and my ‘walk’ not even prepared for you all…
I have 34 Chickens. 29 Hens, 5 Roosters. And while I’d rather have only 2-3 roo’s it is okay. They seem to get along fairly well, there are no horrid cock-fights running amok. And at the end of the day they all go to roost happily together, 33 of them. The 34th, a small bantam…
The sun finally came out yesterday, after spending almost the entire year in hiding. Clear skies meant a frosty morning was in store for us. I scurried outside to snap a few pictures before getting ready for work. Have a great Friday everyone! Love ya’! P.S. I hope my super white feet didn’t blind you. …
There are several reasons I call the great state of Texas home. I’ll not bother listing them all now but one main reason is the weather. Sure, summers are hot but the winters are mild and wonderful. I don’t know who moved me without my permission but the last couple of weeks I’ve not spent…
“Spooky Old Tree” by Stan and Jan Bernstein was Addie’s favorite book when she was three. It was read to her by various parties at least 10 times a week for approximately 12 months. I’ve titled my latest effort inflicted on canvas “Spooky Old Tree”, for Addie. It has simply been to horrid outside to…
