Run, Chicken, Run!

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,…

Coffee

I jotted down this silly poem about my favorite beverage awhile back, and considering it is National Coffee Day, I thought I’d share it with you.  Now, go brew a cup, pour a cup and drink a cup.  I’ll join you in spirit.  Happy Coffee Day! Coffee Coffee in the morning, Coffee in the night,…

Art. Or something like it.

Creativity arrives in many forms throughout life.  So does appreciation for art. Guess what this piece of art is.  Come on now, be creative! Addie made this for me and at first glance I thought it was some sort of medieval weapon.  Or maybe a torture device. Upon further inspection I decided it was a…

Stressed vs Relaxed

Whilst prancing in and out of the house over the course of an afternoon I noticed, on the 28th trip inside, that Agent had not moved in approximately 6 hours, 33 minutes and 5 seconds.  I considered thumping him gently to make sure there was still life present but upon closer inspection I saw he…

Toad

If I had any ambitions leaning in the direction of toad farmer, this would have been my year.  There has been a bumper crop of toads this year.  I can hardly go out after dark for fear of squishing one, they appear like little hopping rocks all around the back porch, barn and kitchen.  Addie…

Wicked Walk 9/10/2014

Ever have a day that flies by so quickly that one second you are sipping coffee and the next thing you know its time for supper?  Wednesday September the 10th was like that for me.  And so I found myself at 6:30 p.m. in the parking lot of First Baptist church with nary a picture…

I got nothing

As you all know my laptop died an untimely death and now I am on an older, larger laptop and we are not yet friends.  After a few days of quality time I expect us to be quite close.  But until then I may be a bit out of touch, please accept my apologies.  However…

Wicked Walk 9/3/14

As I wander about my blog I realize the “Wicked Walk” section is piling up rather quickly so I figured I better start dating the darn things.  So I did.  Wednesday September 3rd was cloudy, cool and rather lovely.  I walked about 8:30 a.m. Here is what I saw. Wild Fruit. I think the first…
