Does life ever get crazy for you, my fair readers? It does for me, more often than I’d care to notice or admit. Wednesday March 18th was a bit crazy. I awoke feeling perfectly rotten, drove to the dentist and had my teeth cleaned in torrential rain, came home and laid about most of the…
I spent the first half of Wednesday baking heart-shaped cookies for our homeschool group decorating party, which was also held at my house. We decorated and ate and had fun. Then my good friend Amanda helped me prune my fruit trees, It was the most stressful thing I think I’ve ever done. There are no…
I slept until 8:00 today. Well, I stayed in bed until 8:08. It was glorious. Until I realized my step-son had turned on the coffee pot at 5:30 and it went off at 7:30 which meant the coffee was cold when poured into my favorite mug. I can’t stand cold coffee. I gulped down a…
Wednesday, my day off, was spent working at my old job, attending a home-school painting party, trying to clean house, feed Rachel, check on a horse with colic and numerous other activities. All of which interfered with my walk. Which is fine. I don’t mind helping out at my old job. I had fun at…
This Wednesday began perfectly brilliant and I thought “hmm, I’ve got heaps of time to walk on this beautiful, sunny day”. This resulted in my procrastination to the evening hours which brought not only low light but rain and cold. Pitter patter on my head was the tune I danced to along our back forty. …
As I’ve been super crazy busy this past week, adjusting to my new, super-fantastic job, traveling over-night to Fort Worth for a book convention with one of my bestest friends and just dealing with life in general I find myself one post short for the week and my ‘walk’ not even prepared for you all…
I have 34 Chickens. 29 Hens, 5 Roosters. And while I’d rather have only 2-3 roo’s it is okay. They seem to get along fairly well, there are no horrid cock-fights running amok. And at the end of the day they all go to roost happily together, 33 of them. The 34th, a small bantam…
The sun finally came out yesterday, after spending almost the entire year in hiding. Clear skies meant a frosty morning was in store for us. I scurried outside to snap a few pictures before getting ready for work. Have a great Friday everyone! Love ya’! P.S. I hope my super white feet didn’t blind you. …
There are several reasons I call the great state of Texas home. I’ll not bother listing them all now but one main reason is the weather. Sure, summers are hot but the winters are mild and wonderful. I don’t know who moved me without my permission but the last couple of weeks I’ve not spent…
The last day of 2014 was cold, wet and just plain miserable for all intents and purposes. Except for reading on the sofa, which is how I spent most of the day. I read “Water for Elephants” for the second time. Then I started “All Creatures Great and Small” for the fourth time. James Herriot…
