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…
Rain is very important. That is why I am glad we got rain on Wednesday November 5th. A LOT of rain. Matter of fact it began raining Tuesday evening around 5:00 and hasn’t stopped in 23 hours. I was going to go deer hunting today. I was going to walk for at least a couple…
Stress makes me ill therefore Wednesday October the 29th I was fairly feeble with the strength of a over-cooked noodle. It made me really mad too because this was the absolute most beautiful day of the year. Mid 60’s, partly cloudy, slight breeze, trees beginning to change colors and I couldn’t make it out of…
Wednesday October 23rd was spent in the South San Juan Wilderness in southern Colorado. Between the morning and evening elk hunt I managed to squeeze in time for a quick jaunt about the countryside. Here is what I saw. It was really quite challenging to ‘walk’ in a new place, my eyes had to be…
Seeing how this Wicked Chicken is freezing her feathers off amid the wilds of South San Juan, I can’t share my walk from last week, October the 15th. You will be seeing that walk as a bonus in the near future. So for today I thought it would be fun to share some of my…
While the first week of fall was gloriously cool, the second week climbed back into the upper 90’s. Running out of time to walk in the morning hours I headed out to our ‘back forty’ about 5 in the afternoon. And while it was hot and I was plagued by mosquito’s it was still nice…
For the first time in YEARS the first week of fall here in east Texas actually FEELS like the first week of fall! Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy! I awoke to see a brisk 51 degrees on the back porch thermometer, pulled on some jogging pants, a long-sleeve T, grabbed my camera and headed for the…
Trees had over-taken my otherwise plush yard, leaving lovely shaded patterns all about, feeding underneath them was a herd of deer. As they peacefully munched the young foliage my chickens pecked among them, eagerly pursuing fresh tidbits of their own. Suddenly a large dog runs in, scattering the flock, frightening the deer and attacking Randy,…
