Due to recent events beyond my control, I find myself a little heavy-hearted. Frustrated. Irritated. And a host of other words, most of which are unpleasant. Yet, there are these. Pictures from my walk on Tuesday with Addie, a motley dog and an enormous amount of water. And these, these are good. So rather than…
Ever have a good cloud day? A day when the skies are blue, the trees are a bright, tender green and the clouds, giant and fluffy beyond compare? The kind of fluffy-puffy that soars miles high yet has a perfectly flat bottom? This was a good cloud day. I was amazed by them while driving…
Good morning dear readers! I hope this little walk finds you all well with the world going your way! And, if not, maybe these photos will brighten your day. Last night we had a wild storm, lightening, thunder, tiny bits of hail and enough rain to drown the town. But the rain was needed, the…
Things have been crazy around here, selling stuff, buying stuff, putting up broilers, attending parties and so on. But Addie and I stole a few minutes to take a quick walk Here is what we saw. White clover, blooming beautifully. Plus a small child with a purple, flower weed thing. I think it is Toad…

Hi y’all! I can not believe it has been a year, almost to the day, that I began our Wicked Walk series. Thanks so much for joining me as I’ve traipsed over creeks, thru meadows, down wooded paths and in other people’s barn. Across town squares, college campuses and a feed store or two, you…
Even after a week of sunshine there are still puddles everywhere but I’m not complaining! I spent an hour drinking coffee on the porch, watching the hummingbirds fight, then slipped on my tennis shoes for a walk. Here is what I saw. The Mama chicken and her two rapidly growing children, ready to escape the…
Something AMAZING happened! It stopped raining in Texas! I’m sure most of you have heard on the news about the horrific flooding and winds causing damage and taking multiple lives in the Lone Star state. While my home has been unaffected for the most part, other than some issues caused by wind and lightening, others…
I was in Nacogdoches yet again for work and Addie was my helper for the entire 10 hour day. After we closed down the store we needed to stretch our legs a bit and since it wasn’t raining, thank God, we went over to the arboretum at Stephen F. Austin state university. SFA happened to be the location…
