Big News! It SNOWED. Like, here, in Texas! Where I live! Sure it only snowed about 4 hours then promptly melted but it was pretty and it was fun while it lasted. Snow isn’t my most favorite thing but I must admit, I was glad it was on a Wednesday so I was forced to…
First of all let me say, I know this winter has sucked (sorry Mom, I know you hate that word), but it has sucked. And I know everyone and anyone who lives north of I 20 has REALLY been getting it, here in Maydelle we have been mostly spared. I think I’m going to turn…
As you probably know I spent 13 years in retail, 11 of those at a feed store and most days behind a sales counter. I was the face of the feed store and customer service was my main objective. There is an art to good customer service and it, like so many arts, is being…
While the bottle is still Rachel’s first menu choice, sweet feed has finally caught her attention. Note the little grain she is daintily holding in her lips here….Its not much. But its a start! The other calves are happy to lead by example. But bring out the bottle and you have her full attention!…
So most walks I have all day and I’m in fabulous humor. Then there are day’s like February 18th. I was not only in a somewhat ill mood, I had to be gone from the house by 9:00 in the morning, on my day off. Which should make anyone ill in my opinion. Anyway, here…

So the ‘fun’ didn’t really happen on a Friday, it happened on a Wednesday but whatever. I had to travel 50 miles to work several hours and I knew the day would be slow and drag on forevermore if I didn’t bring an activity for Addie and me. I decided we should paint so paint…
I spent the first half of Wednesday baking heart-shaped cookies for our homeschool group decorating party, which was also held at my house. We decorated and ate and had fun. Then my good friend Amanda helped me prune my fruit trees, It was the most stressful thing I think I’ve ever done. There are no…
Although it is still the middle of February my Almond tree decided to grace me with a bud. I love it.
Rachel will turn one month old next week and finally got some friends in her own species group. Mind you these are not permanent friends, they’ll go back to their own home in a few months, but she doesn’t seem to mind. One friend even looks a bit like her, only our Rachel is WAY…
