Wicked Walk

Texas is getting pretty dusty which translates to I got pretty dusty Wednesday August 27th.  Since I can feel my shorts getting a wee bit snug I walked a little farther than normal.  And I even remembered to take a bottle of water along. Here is what I saw. I was more than pleased to…

Wicked Walk

I have a confession to make.  Wednesday August 20th I walked.  To my chicken pen.  And took over 300 pictures of my chickens while attempting to covert them into Southern Baptists.  Not sure if it worked….more on that Friday!  And since I figured walking to my chicken pen didn’t qualify as “A Walk”, much as…

Wicked Walk

I don’t know about you people but this summer has flown by for me and mine, I can hardly believe that fall is merely 6 weeks away and I’ve seen more cool weather this month than any October the past 30 years!  Craziness, so my walk August 13th was another one blessed by pleasant weather,…

Wicked Walk

August in Texas is almost always horrid, hot and unbearably sweaty.  So of course, this is the week Addie insisted on walking with me.  Therefore Wednesday, August 6th 2014 was a short jaunt to the train trestle and back. Here is what I saw. A cute human in shorts, a Hello Kitty! shirt toting a turkey…

Wicked Walk

Attention everyone!   I would like to place an order in advance for next years summer to be exactly like this years summer.  We had our third cool front of July this week and another one is on the way to usher in August.  This combined with abundant rainfall-perfect summer.  My walk July 30th was a…

Wicked Walk

In spite of the forecast predicting a killer heat wave Wednesday July 23rd, the early morning hours were quite pleasant.  I took a different route this week and headed east instead of west as I left my driveway.  I saw TWO humans who both spoke to me which means I had to speak back.  I…

Wicked Walk

Thanks to God, Jesus, Mother Nature and Mark Scrito (our weatherman) Wednesday July 16th was gloriously cool!  Upper 60’s and sunny with a slight breeze, thank merciful heavens!  I didn’t even break a sweat until I was 2/3 of the way home from my 2.5 mile excursion. Here is what I saw. The railroad tracks…

Wicked Walk

Wednesday July 9th was much like Wednesday July 2nd.  Hot, humid and mosquito plagued.  So I waited until fairly late in the day to venture out. Here is what I saw. Apparently the chickens wanted to join me on my walk.  Or they thought my camera bag contained scratch.  After a brief, mad dash in…

Wicked Walk

Wednesday July 2nd was hot, humid and filled with an unholy number of mosquitos. And I had a blister. So my walk was short this week, I circled the woods behind my chicken pen. Here is what I saw. I love how this vine thing, looks like something from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.…

Wicked Walk

My walk was a bit different this past Wednesday June, 25th.  I was (don’t laugh!) chicken sitting for a good friend so she could go on vacation with her family.  Well, chicken sitting includes ducks, parrots, cockatiels, guinea pigs, 3 small dogs and 1 very large dog.  So I took advantage of being someplace new…
