A Post

This post is sad, this post is short, for my Dell has died with ‘nar a report.  This post has no pictures, this post is no fun, I’ll travel to my mom’s to write another one.  This post isn’t centered, I can’t seem to check, it’s written on my phone and I’m not a tech. …

Lady Bird

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!

Hawk Down

As self-proclaimed “Keeper of the Chicken” I’m not generally a big fan of hawks.  Birds of prey are not something I want close to my coop however they are incredible birds, of that there is no doubt.  And as long as they are catching rats, rabbits, snakes, frogs or whatever else they find in the…

Crawfish!

All through the South folks anxiously wait the entire winter long for crawfish season to start.  And when it does you can bet there isn’t a mudbug safe from here to Atlanta!  We have at least 2 boils every spring and this year my husband decided he wanted to go all out and host a…

Hell Week

Hell Week.  A common term for college folk (which I haven’t been in quite a few years) was experienced at my house in a whole new way last week.  I’ll give you a brief run-down so if my posts seem a bit scattered and I really make a grave spelling error, you will maybe forgive…

Mud is Healthy

I get a kick out of people who are afraid to let their kids get dirty.  Now, I’m not saying you should let them lick the grocery cart handle, but a little honest mud (you know, dirt and water), never hurt anybody.  Yes, one in a million catch some weird, awful, unheard of mud disease…

Snow Day

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…

I wonder…..

I told Addie to make her bed. I wonder where she plans on sleeping……. The catfish looks stressed out by all the new residents on the bed. Only a six-year-old. 🙂

What not to say.

Females have a remarkable ability.  They can tote about an itsy-bitsy egg until it is fertilized, let another small human develop a complete, tiny body inside them with an extremely accommodating belly then extract the little creature via painful pushes and sometimes incisions.  A truly amazing process.  I have a good friend who has done…

Towel War

Disclaimer.  I love my husband and am so happy he thinks of me often.  A few weeks ago I mentioned I would like new towels.  The navy towels I bought for us at a department store 7 years ago were disintegrating rapidly.  They had served long and well yet featured holes and torn seams.  “Time…
