So, Addie and I spent a great deal of time at the new place, trying to catch minnows in the creek. But, apparently the minnows in Maydelle sent word ahead to the minnows in Glenfawn, and well. They were impossible to catch. We walked the entire length of the creek, dabbled in each little pool…
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…
Earlier today I was browsing through the pictures of my daughter’s 8th birthday party. And I came across this gem. Child, not only did I tote you around inside me for 9 months, struggle to lose the weight you imparted on me, pay people to watch, entertain and educate you. I drove and drug you…
I’ve taken exactly 4 walks since we have moved, but this one, number 5, was the first one on which I toted my camera. It was a lovely morning. I tried to get Peaches to go with me but he just stuck out his tongue. He thinks exercising is just for humans. So I headed…
While I am residing without internet at my current home, I am VERY happy to report that the local eating/beer joint/hangout, has Wi-Fi! Yay! Happy day! So, for the first time in my life, I find myself on a Tuesday afternoon, camped out in a room full of strangers, blogging. It is kinda fun (of…
I posted on Saturday about last things. I knew, almost without a doubt, this would be the last walk I took as a resident of Maydelle. In the back of my mind, I tried to think I could squeeze in another one, but it wasn’t to be. So. Here it is. My last walk as…
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…
Last week, I was casually checking eggs and freshening up the water when I saw him. Black, with a pretty pattern, small, glossy eyes and a red tongue. He saw me too. And he left, after participating in a stare-off with me. I guess I won, since he left first. I told Addie about him,…
Hi everyone! So, this has been an interesting year so far, the first 5 months were spent in limbo. These folks from Houston wanted to buy our little farm in Maydelle, Texas. It wasn’t for sale, I mean it’s my HOME, and has been for almost 10 years. But, as the saying goes, “Money Talks”…
I went shopping today. Shopping for me is not a fun task, a thing to be celebrated nor an outing of great anticipation. It’s more like a ‘I need some Tums and a Vodka on the Rocks’ kinda’ experience. Today, however, turned out surprising well. My darling child, all of whose pants have mysteriously been…
