I am known as a chicken who likes to fly the coop every so often, so when I had the chance to visit Austin for the weekend I jumped at the opportunity. It wasn’t a traditional funky, weird Austin style get-away but fun just the same. I played creeper in the night by taking pictures…
If you are searching for a really good idea, go fishing. Fishing won’t help you find an idea necessarily but is simply a good idea in itself. Especially when you have cute companions. The lake was still and the fish weren’t biting but that didn’t matter so much….. The mosquitoes were blissfully absent and while…
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…
Something AMAZING happened! It stopped raining in Texas! I’m sure most of you have heard on the news about the horrific flooding and winds causing damage and taking multiple lives in the Lone Star state. While my home has been unaffected for the most part, other than some issues caused by wind and lightening, others…
Hi there pretty little lady, regal Mrs. Hummingbird. I’m glad you’ve come to stay the summer with us. Happy Monday and Happy June 1st y’all!

All-in-all what you would call a smart, cute, well-rounded child. Plays the piano,…
These pictures I took Easter weekend at my grandparents house. It is Memorial Day. I know I’m behind. I’m sorry. Enjoy. 🙂 I love holiday weekends. And spring. And Texas. And my grandparents. And clover. And America. Have a great Memorial Day and thanks to all those who have and those who still are sacrificing themselves for…
Remember those adorable chicks I introduced y’all to last month? Well they have been growing like crazy and were REALLY ready to bust out of their little crate alongside their mother. So I let them out to explore the world they hatched into and while doing so discovered something. Baby chickens are the most difficult thing…
As self-proclaimed “Keeper of the Chicken” I’m not generally a big fan of hawks. Birds of prey are not something I want close to my coop however they are incredible birds, of that there is no doubt. And as long as they are catching rats, rabbits, snakes, frogs or whatever else they find in the…
So I went grocery shopping, because for some, strange reason the people who live with me think they need to eat on a regular basis. I could live on walnuts, wine and coffee but they require more. So after a hectic afternoon, plus a trip yet again to the dentist’s chair I finally made it…
