I was recently working at a feed store in Nacogdoches, Texas. There was a beautiful smoke-colored kitty there. I’d like to introduce you to him. Her. It. Okay, so we didn’t get that close, but IT sure is pretty! Every feed store needs a cat and this one fits the bill perfectly. Happy Friday y’all!
Wednesday March 4th was a bit odd. Not only did I go to Nacogdoches (almost an hour drive) to work at a feed store for the day, the lovely 80 degrees we were enjoying (if you recall last week my walk featured snow, AH!) dropped to 40 in a two-hour time period. And it rained…
So it has been raining for something like 5 days. And I am growing mold on my person. The horses are safely tucked inside the barn and the calves found a gate left slightly ajar Sunday afternoon. They made a run for it. First they all ran right…. Then they all ran left….. Then they…
Raise your right hand. Stand on your left leg. Hop in a circle and say “I solemnly swear to never share Rachel’s Super-Top-Secret Double Chocolate Chipper Cookie Recipe. Ever.” Well done! Are we good? Good. ‘Cause these are some seriously delicious cookies, even if I say so myself. I developed them, if you will, while…
Over a year and a half ago my flock was hit with repeated raccoon attacks resulting in multiple homicides. The crime scenes continued to grow in frequency and brutality until I was reduced to less than half the flock I once enjoyed. Then one night I awoke with a funny feeling in my chest, I…
Big News! It SNOWED. Like, here, in Texas! Where I live! Sure it only snowed about 4 hours then promptly melted but it was pretty and it was fun while it lasted. Snow isn’t my most favorite thing but I must admit, I was glad it was on a Wednesday so I was forced to…
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…
As you probably know I spent 13 years in retail, 11 of those at a feed store and most days behind a sales counter. I was the face of the feed store and customer service was my main objective. There is an art to good customer service and it, like so many arts, is being…
While the bottle is still Rachel’s first menu choice, sweet feed has finally caught her attention. Note the little grain she is daintily holding in her lips here….Its not much. But its a start! The other calves are happy to lead by example. But bring out the bottle and you have her full attention!…
So most walks I have all day and I’m in fabulous humor. Then there are day’s like February 18th. I was not only in a somewhat ill mood, I had to be gone from the house by 9:00 in the morning, on my day off. Which should make anyone ill in my opinion. Anyway, here…
