The Front Porch

I have a front porch and a back porch.  The back porch has a rusty freezer, old school chair with metal legs I found on loop 456…..yes, I stop and pick up things off the side of the road, don’t judge.  It was, and is, a perfectly good chair!  There are several rocks of great…

Down at the River……

Given the fact we live less than 3 miles from the beautiful Neches River, I’m sorry to say we only visit it 2 or 3 times a year, at best.  This particular Sunday morning, we ran lines.  It was about 7:15 and as soon as we crossed under the Highway 84 bridge, we noticed a…

Wicked Walk 5/19/2016

Well, I still have no news on ‘the move’.  But that is nothing new and something I’ve given to God, therefore, I refuse to worry about it.  Other than brief panic attacks.  But, I’m only human. Thursday, the 19th of May, was lovely.  It was cool, cloudy and rainy.  Since it was our day off, and Addie…

So, this could be entitled “The Mushroom Post” because they were EVERYWHERE. And, the cool thing is, IF (huge IF here), IF we get to move, these mushrooms will be ours.  And, I’m all about mushrooms y’all! Here is what I saw. This will be my yard.  IF (huge IF) it all works out. Most…

Wicked Walk 3/8/2016

Do you ever wonder why you blog?  Or, why you read blogs?  Sometimes I do. However, I keep coming back to the same answer. I blog for me.  And, when I have any spare time at all.   I love reading YOUR blogs! From New Zealand to Florida, Illinois to Maine, Kenya to Mississippi, Canada to Finland,…

Wicked Walk 3/1/2016

March blew in, literally, 3 days ago.  Grabbing my camera in the late afternoon, I headed for the woods.  Which were quite windy. Here is what I saw. Spring flowers and clovers alongside hay from the Fall. Such a contrast of color! Choo-Choo Train Tracks. I never noticed this before but I’m guessing the plates…

Wicked Walk 2/16/2016

School, laundry and chickens dominated the day.  However, the Texas weather has been…….awesome.  So we both took a break from our duties and explored the yard, field and creek. Here is what we saw. Addie took over my camera, and along with five thousand, two hundred and eighteen pictures of my car, the horse trailer and…

Wicked Walk 2/9/2016

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…

Wicked Walk 2/2/2016

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.…

Wicked Walk 1/26/2016

First of all, I’ve decided that even though I’m going to post a walk every Wednesday, it doesn’t mean the walk was actually taken on a Wednesday.  This will relieve me a great deal.  Thank you. So.  Today was windy, cold and sunny.  The entire day spread out like a banquet before me and I…
