A Good Idea.

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…

Dude, I went to a Biker Rally

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…

A Herd, a Girl and a Bee

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…

Wisteria

Yes. I know I should have posted this a month ago.  But it was either now or wait until next April.  Or I guess I could have waited until October and shocked your eyeballs with a blast of purple.  Then again the rapture may happen this summer and you would never see the glory that was…

Bra in the Basket

So I went grocery shopping, because for some, strange reason the people who live with me think they need to eat on a regular basis.  I could live on walnuts, wine and coffee but they require more.  So after a hectic afternoon, plus a trip yet again to the dentist’s chair I finally made it…

Spring Evening

I love all the seasons but evenings in the spring are really something special. I jumped out at a stop sign on my way home from work to snap this little slice of tranquility. Have a great Sunday everyone!

Old Barns & Blackberry Vines

There is an old barn about a mile from my house, I’ve been anxious to explore it but never found the time.  Until last week!  I had to go early, while the weather was cool, since it is almost covered in beautiful blackberry bushes and I have zero desire to be snake bit.  Also, I…

Bird Babies

A few weeks back Addie came to me with an announcement.  “There is a bird’s nest in my fort!”  This was followed by a similar exclamation of “There are THREE eggs!”  Then there were 5 eggs and 2 days ago Addie came back into the house, breathless, gasping “There are BIRDS and they are doing…

Going to the chapel…..

And Yes!  They got married!  I am getting old.  But I still make great cakes!  (pats self on back) My mom and sister though, they make great cakes too!  Check out this armadillo! And yes, that is Boba Fett shooting him.  Star Wars fans unite! How classic?!  Fondant at its best! I got no pre-wedding…

Rock Chimney

It’s funny how you can spend years walking by, or driving by, something and never see it.  As a matter of fact, you can live with people for years, know people for years and never really see them either.  Life just gets to fast, clouds our vision and creates a tunnel thru which we see…
