As a chicken who loves to travel I’ve been woefully coop-bound the last few years. Other than our annual elk hunting trip and a few weekend getaways I’ve not gone much of anywhere. This year I’m attempting to make up for it! The sweet lady I work for had a family reunion in D.C. last…
They say to have loved and lost is better than to never have loved at all. Today I am not so sure. Yesterday morning I awoke to let out my chickens into their courtyard, aka run, for the day. I immediately noticed Stripe-Stripe was not among them. I knew in my heart she was gone…
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…
Coming back from a trip is always a nice thing. East or west, home is best! Stripe-Stripe was glad to see me along with all my other little creatures. Here is what I saw. At home. This is Stripe-Stripe’s “Where have you been Mama!?!” face. This is her ‘looking at a flower face’. It was a…
Wednesday, June 24th was a pretty special walk for me. I was able to walk at Mt. Vernon, home of George Washington. The weather was fair and the grounds breathtaking. To walk the trails and hills he walked, to see the Potomac River from his front porch and meander the halls of his home was quite simply…
When I was growing up there was only 1 real way to have your photograph taken while on vacation. Ask a nearby, fellow tourist to take up your film bearing device and snap a shot. If you were lucky it would turn out halfway decent. A bit later in life, there came along the timer…
Hi y’all! I can not believe it has been a year, almost to the day, that I began our Wicked Walk series. Thanks so much for joining me as I’ve traipsed over creeks, thru meadows, down wooded paths and in other people’s barn. Across town squares, college campuses and a feed store or two, you…
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. …
