Extra things annoy me. And I am just as guilty of extras as the next person. I have, let me go count…….30 coffee cups. THIRTY. That is almost a cup for every year of my life. There are 4 people in my house, 3 drink coffee. If we all used a different cup each day…
Here is the walk that didn’t get published last week, it was a brief walk but a good one. This is what I saw. The recent rain had mushrooms and fungi popping up all over the place. As a matter of fact, the radar showed rain moving in early and staying all day. Thus, the reason…
If you’ve been following this blog for any amount of time, you know I publish a ‘Wicked Walk’ every Wednesday. Only, this past Wednesday, I didn’t. This was due to several reasons. Number One.

Let’s try this again, shall we? My fingers got ahead of my brain yesterday and some of you darling readers were delivered an almost blank post. I’m sorry about that. Here we go. Again. Meanwhile, back in Texas, there was a scarecrow trail. We went. And walked. And it was 5:00 in the afternoon. The…
Here is the end, as promised, of the two plus weeks I’ve bombarded your feed and e-mail with elk camp pictures and stories. After today, there will only be cute chipmunk pictures and everything shall go back to normal for awhile. Wyoming Barn. Any of you who would like purchase this as a gift for my…
A few days ago I shared the travel pictures taken en route to elk camp. Well, we finally arrived. My sister, Rita, her boyfriend, Jason and their dog Atlas, joined us a few days later as well as some friends from Tennessee. I’ll not bore you with the details, such as 3 days of rain, Rita getting…
