As I’ve been super crazy busy this past week, adjusting to my new, super-fantastic job, traveling over-night to Fort Worth for a book convention with one of my bestest friends and just dealing with life in general I find myself one post short for the week and my ‘walk’ not even prepared for you all…
There are several reasons I call the great state of Texas home. I’ll not bother listing them all now but one main reason is the weather. Sure, summers are hot but the winters are mild and wonderful. I don’t know who moved me without my permission but the last couple of weeks I’ve not spent…
The last day of 2014 was cold, wet and just plain miserable for all intents and purposes. Except for reading on the sofa, which is how I spent most of the day. I read “Water for Elephants” for the second time. Then I started “All Creatures Great and Small” for the fourth time. James Herriot…
Christmas eve is a day I love. Christmas eve is spent at my grandparents, which is where I spent much of my childhood. I am joined there each December 24th by my aunties, uncles, cousins, my cousins children, my brother, sister, parents and pets of various species. We visit, cook, laugh, catch up and take…
As I pen this post I find it hard to believe that one week from now you will be reading this and it will be Christmas eve! I also find it hard to believe that on this very wicked walk I got completely and totally lost. Now I KNEW where I was in the sense…
December the 10th was a really good day. Not only was the weather perfect for walking, I harvested a spike (perfect double lung shot, pats self on back) and made cookies for Addie’s piano recital. A well-rounded day. The early morning hours revealed lots of beauty. Here is what I saw. Dew-coated pod and a…
Today I cleaned my stove. This in turn made my counter tops look bad. So I cleaned them, which in turn made the cabinet faces appear rather horrid. So I cleaned them, which in turn made the appliances, both large and small, seem a bit crusty. So I cleaned them, which led to a careful…
My morning was spent delivering pies, cakes and cornbread dressing. People really are nice to you when you have pies, cakes and cornbread dressing. My afternoon was spent in the forest and it was a perfect day for strolling along and soaking up some sunshine. Here is what I saw. I’m not sure what this…
I like to make all my dressing for Thanksgiving ahead of time because it freezes beautifully and reduces stress on the actual day. Just pop in the oven and bake! So I was running a bit short on time when I went to walk, my sister and Addie joined me today. We have an acre…
After a month of traveling, illness and rain I finally got to walk in some really beautiful weather. The arctic blast blown down south, courtesy of Alaska, had recently arrived dropping the daytime temp to about 45 degrees but the sun was still shining AND I had my sister with me again for company. Here…
