Christmas eve is a day I love. Christmas eve is spent at my grandparents, which is where I spent much of my childhood. I am joined there each December 24th by my aunties, uncles, cousins, my cousins children, my brother, sister, parents and pets of various species. We visit, cook, laugh, catch up and take…
As I pen this post I find it hard to believe that one week from now you will be reading this and it will be Christmas eve! I also find it hard to believe that on this very wicked walk I got completely and totally lost. Now I KNEW where I was in the sense…
December the 10th was a really good day. Not only was the weather perfect for walking, I harvested a spike (perfect double lung shot, pats self on back) and made cookies for Addie’s piano recital. A well-rounded day. The early morning hours revealed lots of beauty. Here is what I saw. Dew-coated pod and a…
Once upon a time, long before we moved to Maydelle, there sat a house near our chicken pen. The house is no longer there but we still find things left behind. Addie found this yesterday……. I couldn’t grow a fern and mushroom in a glass jar if I tried. And they just did it themselves!…

My morning was spent delivering pies, cakes and cornbread dressing. People really are nice to you when you have pies, cakes and cornbread dressing. My afternoon was spent in the forest and it was a perfect day for strolling along and soaking up some sunshine. Here is what I saw. I’m not sure what this…
I like to make all my dressing for Thanksgiving ahead of time because it freezes beautifully and reduces stress on the actual day. Just pop in the oven and bake! So I was running a bit short on time when I went to walk, my sister and Addie joined me today. We have an acre…
After a month of traveling, illness and rain I finally got to walk in some really beautiful weather. The arctic blast blown down south, courtesy of Alaska, had recently arrived dropping the daytime temp to about 45 degrees but the sun was still shining AND I had my sister with me again for company. Here…
Some days you are the chipmunk out front, other days you are not. I hope today you, my friends, are all in front. Happy Weekend!
Rain is very important. That is why I am glad we got rain on Wednesday November 5th. A LOT of rain. Matter of fact it began raining Tuesday evening around 5:00 and hasn’t stopped in 23 hours. I was going to go deer hunting today. I was going to walk for at least a couple…
