Some things get worse with age. Onions, potatoes, garlic, computers, grey hair, flab, swimming pools and Wal-Mart’s. Just to name a few. Other things get better with age. Wine, certain cheeses, men, movies (with Hugh Jackman, Robert Redford, Julia Andrews, Charlton Heston and Meryl Streep. Obviously, not all on the same film), books and true…
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…
Each year, to celebrate another 12 months of wedded bliss, my husband and I sail off for an exotic, sun-soaked vacation. We bath in the warmth of life, drink the wine of love all while white-robed, tan-skinned attendants tend to our every need. NOT! But we do make it a point each year to skip town…
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. …
I like to plant my onions anywhere from the 15th to the 18th of January. Don’t ask me why, that’s just what I’ve always done and I’ve pretty much had good onions and I’m not a big fan of change….so there ya’ go. But this year I didn’t plant until yesterday, the 25th! Horrors! But…
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…
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…
I know, I know. I’ve read all the articles about how God gave the chickens feathers and they really don’t need any help from us humans once they are grown. I’ve become well acquainted with the opinion that states heating coops does much more harm than good. And heck, I agree. But when I see…
