When I was growing up there was only 1 real way to have your photograph taken while on vacation. Ask a nearby, fellow tourist to take up your film bearing device and snap a shot. If you were lucky it would turn out halfway decent. A bit later in life, there came along the timer…
Hi y’all! I can not believe it has been a year, almost to the day, that I began our Wicked Walk series. Thanks so much for joining me as I’ve traipsed over creeks, thru meadows, down wooded paths and in other people’s barn. Across town squares, college campuses and a feed store or two, you…
Last Sunday I was attempting to be lazy and take a nap on the sofa when I heard all this horrid chirping outside the window. Peeking out I saw not only a male cardinal but two wee fledglings. I suppose the mother was taking a nap, as all mothers need to do upon occasion, so…
As you may recall my computer went kaput and I am running around like a chicken, so not much narrtive today. Addie walked with me, we encoutered slugs, deer and a giant spider, amoung other things. Here is what we saw. Addie loves the woods! No flower is safe! Then I spotted the deer, first just a…
This post is sad, this post is short, for my Dell has died with ‘nar a report. This post has no pictures, this post is no fun, I’ll travel to my mom’s to write another one. This post isn’t centered, I can’t seem to check, it’s written on my phone and I’m not a tech. …
I am known as a chicken who likes to fly the coop every so often, so when I had the chance to visit Austin for the weekend I jumped at the opportunity. It wasn’t a traditional funky, weird Austin style get-away but fun just the same. I played creeper in the night by taking pictures…
Even after a week of sunshine there are still puddles everywhere but I’m not complaining! I spent an hour drinking coffee on the porch, watching the hummingbirds fight, then slipped on my tennis shoes for a walk. Here is what I saw. The Mama chicken and her two rapidly growing children, ready to escape the…
If you are searching for a really good idea, go fishing. Fishing won’t help you find an idea necessarily but is simply a good idea in itself. Especially when you have cute companions. The lake was still and the fish weren’t biting but that didn’t matter so much….. The mosquitoes were blissfully absent and while…
I planted an apple tree. The one, single apple fell off due to a worm. I planted blueberry bushes. The chickens ate every last one in their reach, leaving me about five. I planted peaches and plums. The deer not only knocked off the fruit and ate it but also stripped the lower 2/3 worth…
Something AMAZING happened! It stopped raining in Texas! I’m sure most of you have heard on the news about the horrific flooding and winds causing damage and taking multiple lives in the Lone Star state. While my home has been unaffected for the most part, other than some issues caused by wind and lightening, others…
