Let’s try this again, shall we? My fingers got ahead of my brain yesterday and some of you darling readers were delivered an almost blank post. I’m sorry about that. Here we go. Again. Meanwhile, back in Texas, there was a scarecrow trail. We went. And walked. And it was 5:00 in the afternoon. The…
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…
I grew up with a lot of cousins. And there for several years I was the baby, which, loosely interpreted, translates to ‘tortured one’. Also excluded. Picked on. Left alone in the dark, in the hay bales. “Hide” they said. “We’ll come find you” they said. “Be quiet and still” they said. I walked back to my…
Texas is hot. And I know I said, repeatedly, last winter that I would not complain about the heat when it arrived. So I’m not. Complaining that is. I’m simply stating a fact in an exasperated voice while sweating and squishing fire ants with my index finger. It. Is. Hot. I put off walking until…
There are fish nets and there are fishnets. One, a shady lady dons upon her thighs every weekend trying to catch a man or three, another type attempts to catch fish which you can cook and consume. There could be some debate on which type of net is more successful. Or more cost effective. However, I…
I have a confession to make. I did not walk on July the 8th. I spent 4 hours doing laundry at the neighbors because our sewer backed up into the kitchen which translates loosely to bad smells and no using the washing machine, dish washer, sinks, toilets or showers. Ugh. Add this to me being…
Last Sunday I was attempting to be lazy and take a nap on the sofa when I heard all this horrid chirping outside the window. Peeking out I saw not only a male cardinal but two wee fledglings. I suppose the mother was taking a nap, as all mothers need to do upon occasion, so…
As you may recall my computer went kaput and I am running around like a chicken, so not much narrtive today. Addie walked with me, we encoutered slugs, deer and a giant spider, amoung other things. Here is what we saw. Addie loves the woods! No flower is safe! Then I spotted the deer, first just a…
This post is sad, this post is short, for my Dell has died with ‘nar a report. This post has no pictures, this post is no fun, I’ll travel to my mom’s to write another one. This post isn’t centered, I can’t seem to check, it’s written on my phone and I’m not a tech. …
I planted an apple tree. The one, single apple fell off due to a worm. I planted blueberry bushes. The chickens ate every last one in their reach, leaving me about five. I planted peaches and plums. The deer not only knocked off the fruit and ate it but also stripped the lower 2/3 worth…
