It has been ages since I’ve taken a really long walk. A walk which I didn’t have to rush thru like a mad person. My main purpose of walking today was to get some pictures of these awesome mushrooms I found the previous day. They peeked their little heads above the tall grass. Red, slender tubes,…
It’s almost Christmas and all the crazies are out shopping. At least, I guess they are, I wouldn’t know. I don’t want to know. Instead, I’ll share some sights captured in the early morning hours. Here is what I saw. Nosey thought we were going for a real, bone-fide walk. Not just a trek thru…
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…
Piglet, Winnie-The-Pooh’s best friend, paddles furiously to a tune that goes something like this “And the rain, rain, rain came down, down, down and Piglet started bailing! He was unaware while a’top his chair while bailing he was sailing….” as poor Piglet floats right out of his house, out of his yard and is carried…
My husband was a professional calf roper for around 20 years. While he was pounding the rodeo trail across the American mid-west during the eighties I was braiding My Little Ponies tail and pretending to be John Wayne. In the early nineties he was winning belt buckles, saddles and cash whilst I was lip-syncing to…
The sun finally came out yesterday, after spending almost the entire year in hiding. Clear skies meant a frosty morning was in store for us. I scurried outside to snap a few pictures before getting ready for work. Have a great Friday everyone! Love ya’! P.S. I hope my super white feet didn’t blind you. …
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…
I have a 30 minute drive home and a six year old. This allows plenty of time for conversations like the following: “Mom, I wish we had a girl horse.” “Well, we aren’t going to have a girl horse.” “But WHY not?! I want a girl horse. Baby horses are my FAVORITE.” “Even if we…
After making the 2 day journey by truck to Colorado, the real work begins after we arrive. Packing in is a huge process that requires the same amount of care and consideration no matter if you are going 2 miles or 20 miles. The packs must all be weighed and even, they must be secure…
Every year, during the latter part of October, my family makes the 17 hour journey to the state of Colorado in hot pursuit of the wapiti. Not only do we take ourselves, we take a friend or two plus 6 horses, 2 canvas wall tents, 2 wood burning stoves, as many coolers are we can…
