While I am residing without internet at my current home, I am VERY happy to report that the local eating/beer joint/hangout, has Wi-Fi! Yay! Happy day! So, for the first time in my life, I find myself on a Tuesday afternoon, camped out in a room full of strangers, blogging. It is kinda fun (of…
I posted on Saturday about last things. I knew, almost without a doubt, this would be the last walk I took as a resident of Maydelle. In the back of my mind, I tried to think I could squeeze in another one, but it wasn’t to be. So. Here it is. My last walk as…
Today is Wednesday. It is 7:00 a.m. and I’m on my third cup of coffee. I can hear the loggers down the road, the depressing sound of saws and falling trees gets more distant each day as they work their way deeper into the forest. In contrast, there is a small herd of deer in…
Addie’s obsession with Fairy Houses bleeds over into most aspects of our lives in one way or another. This particular day, a bird’s nest, moss, eucalyptus leaves, saw-tooth oak leaves and my potted tree were called upon to help continue the effort. I mean, seriously, why leave a perfectly good pot filled with just DIRT.…
Last week, I was casually checking eggs and freshening up the water when I saw him. Black, with a pretty pattern, small, glossy eyes and a red tongue. He saw me too. And he left, after participating in a stare-off with me. I guess I won, since he left first. I told Addie about him,…
Hi everyone! So, this has been an interesting year so far, the first 5 months were spent in limbo. These folks from Houston wanted to buy our little farm in Maydelle, Texas. It wasn’t for sale, I mean it’s my HOME, and has been for almost 10 years. But, as the saying goes, “Money Talks”…
I have a front porch and a back porch. The back porch has a rusty freezer, old school chair with metal legs I found on loop 456…..yes, I stop and pick up things off the side of the road, don’t judge. It was, and is, a perfectly good chair! There are several rocks of great…
Given the fact we live less than 3 miles from the beautiful Neches River, I’m sorry to say we only visit it 2 or 3 times a year, at best. This particular Sunday morning, we ran lines. It was about 7:15 and as soon as we crossed under the Highway 84 bridge, we noticed a…
Well, I still have no news on ‘the move’. But that is nothing new and something I’ve given to God, therefore, I refuse to worry about it. Other than brief panic attacks. But, I’m only human. Thursday, the 19th of May, was lovely. It was cool, cloudy and rainy. Since it was our day off, and Addie…
So, this could be entitled “The Mushroom Post” because they were EVERYWHERE. And, the cool thing is, IF (huge IF here), IF we get to move, these mushrooms will be ours. And, I’m all about mushrooms y’all! Here is what I saw. This will be my yard. IF (huge IF) it all works out. Most…
