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”…
So, I’d like to pretend my lack of posts were due to some life-changing event. Like child-birth. Or Jesus coming back. But, in reality, I’ve just kinda been doing life. I snuck off to the pub the other night (with my husband) and had a marvelous time. I went shopping with my daughter for a…
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…
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…
Since I began this blog almost 2 years ago, this has been my longest break. I have barely even seen my computer these past couple of weeks. It wasn’t an intentional break, it just kinda happened. Rather than go on and on about all the pitiful reasons I’ve abandoned y’all. I’ll simply let my pictures…
I spent this particular day waiting for 3 hours at the tax office, only to discover they were unable to see me. Thus, my morning was spent. I arrived home and threw together a lunch for my starving child. Then I attacked my fruit trees with pruning shears. Then I went for a walk. Here…
I never dreamed I’d be taking a walk the second day of February in 78 degree weather. My fashionable sweat shirt was entirely too warm. Yet, there I was, walking the back woods around 4:00 p.m. Poor Addie, I left confined to math homework, which resulted in many tears before the days end. Bloody math.…
I have recently found myself in somewhat un-charted waters. This is not a bad thing, simply, new. And it has taken up a lot of my time, efforts and thoughts. If all pans out, there will be lots of fun fodder for me to share with you all. If not, I’ll be back to my…
Can you believe we are already nearly two weeks into the new year? I know I can’t. Time keeps flying by! However, I was able to walk with my favorite, little human recently and we were on the trail of snail. This is what we saw. I know my friend Cherity, over at Almostfarmgirl, will…
