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…
Hi there pretty little lady, regal Mrs. Hummingbird. I’m glad you’ve come to stay the summer with us. Happy Monday and Happy June 1st y’all!

Take for example my sweet Addie, lover of chickens, worms, snails, slugs, tadpoles, horses, the color pink, Third Day Christmas songs, mud and stuffed animals. All-in-all what you would call a smart, cute, well-rounded child. Plays the piano,…
My mom has a picture of me when I was about 6 years old, riding my dad’s Harley with him. That was the coolest I’ve ever been and the pinnacle of my biker days. Except for a brief period in my early 20’s when I found myself in possession of a “crotch rocket” I couldn’t…
I was in Nacogdoches yet again for work and Addie was my helper for the entire 10 hour day. After we closed down the store we needed to stretch our legs a bit and since it wasn’t raining, thank God, we went over to the arboretum at Stephen F. Austin state university. SFA happened to be the location…
These pictures I took Easter weekend at my grandparents house. It is Memorial Day. I know I’m behind. I’m sorry. Enjoy. 🙂 I love holiday weekends. And spring. And Texas. And my grandparents. And clover. And America. Have a great Memorial Day and thanks to all those who have and those who still are sacrificing themselves for…
