Road Trip! There is nothing quite as good as a road trip. Unless, it’s a road trip to see family and friends. That makes it even better! I was able to visit recently, a Pitcher Plant Bog. These are very unique. It takes a very special ecosystem to support these carnivorous plants. Addie and I…
About a week or so ago, I told you about an old house I came across while walking. It was open, so naturally I had to go inside! Here are the pictures, as promised. I often wonder about houses such as these. Who lived in them, who built them. Why they are left to rot…
Today is Wednesday. It is 7:00 a.m. and I’m on my third cup of coffee. I can hear the loggers down the road, the depressing sound of saws and falling trees gets more distant each day as they work their way deeper into the forest. In contrast, there is a small herd of deer in…
Given the fact we live less than 3 miles from the beautiful Neches River, I’m sorry to say we only visit it 2 or 3 times a year, at best. This particular Sunday morning, we ran lines. It was about 7:15 and as soon as we crossed under the Highway 84 bridge, we noticed a…
So, this could be entitled “The Mushroom Post” because they were EVERYWHERE. And, the cool thing is, IF (huge IF here), IF we get to move, these mushrooms will be ours. And, I’m all about mushrooms y’all! Here is what I saw. This will be my yard. IF (huge IF) it all works out. Most…
I need to write something. I’m just not sure what. Life is so odd and living it is a mystery in itself. I thought I may write a post about the advantages of living in a small house. Only, that would be a short post because the only positive I’ve found is I can vacuum the…
My first walk of the New Year was taken not on a Wednesday but on the holiday weekend. My family and I made a long-over due trip to visit family in Mississippi. My husband hails from this lovely state and much of his family still live there. Addie and I managed to sneak into the…
I spent last Wednesday franticly baking, cooking, scrubbing, scurrying and basically losing my mind in preparation of Thanksgiving. The lady I work for was hosting thirty people. My grandparents on my mother’s side were hosting thirty-two people and my dad’s side, twenty-three. And I got to help all of them. Which was great and glorious and fine,…
Here is the end, as promised, of the two plus weeks I’ve bombarded your feed and e-mail with elk camp pictures and stories. After today, there will only be cute chipmunk pictures and everything shall go back to normal for awhile. Wyoming Barn. Any of you who would like purchase this as a gift for my…
A few days ago I shared the travel pictures taken en route to elk camp. Well, we finally arrived. My sister, Rita, her boyfriend, Jason and their dog Atlas, joined us a few days later as well as some friends from Tennessee. I’ll not bore you with the details, such as 3 days of rain, Rita getting…
