Were I a real chicken, I would be molting, sitting, flopping and doing every unattractive chicken-thing imaginable right now. While I’ve had 2 lovely vacations the past 6 weeks, the in-betweens have been riddled with hardship enough for a century. Which is why, for the first time in 14 months, I’ve not a walk to really…
July is always hot in Texas and today was no exception. I had recently been commissioned to feed the neighbors creatures so I awoke early and walked there and back, taking photos along the way. Here is what I saw. Roadside nettles are always pretty! Morning sunlight thru the trees and on some pinecones…. At…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Even after a week of sunshine there are still puddles everywhere but I’m not complaining! I spent an hour drinking coffee on the porch, watching the hummingbirds fight, then slipped on my tennis shoes for a walk. Here is what I saw. The Mama chicken and her two rapidly growing children, ready to escape the…
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…
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…
