Stress makes me ill therefore Wednesday October the 29th I was fairly feeble with the strength of a over-cooked noodle. It made me really mad too because this was the absolute most beautiful day of the year. Mid 60’s, partly cloudy, slight breeze, trees beginning to change colors and I couldn’t make it out of…
Elk Camp was very unique this year. Every year is special in its own way but this was one for the books, I think there may be a poorly rated, low-budget Lifetime movie in the works someday soon but until then I’ll just give you the pleasant high-lights and leave the rest for your imagination. …
Wednesday October 23rd was spent in the South San Juan Wilderness in southern Colorado. Between the morning and evening elk hunt I managed to squeeze in time for a quick jaunt about the countryside. Here is what I saw. It was really quite challenging to ‘walk’ in a new place, my eyes had to be…
Seeing how this Wicked Chicken is freezing her feathers off amid the wilds of South San Juan, I can’t share my walk from last week, October the 15th. You will be seeing that walk as a bonus in the near future. So for today I thought it would be fun to share some of my…
Today was a special day! My little sister, who has been globe-trotting for about 5 years, flitted down at home base for awhile and came to walk with me. I rarely take people with me when I walk, and have never taken another adult, so I made sure she knew how lucky she was! (that…
Looking out across the pasture behind our house you might think we had an epic hail storm or weird fall blizzard. There are mushrooms EVERYWHERE. Which makes me super-duper happy since I think mushrooms are the neatest thing on earth. I slipped on my muck boots, grabbed my camera and traipsed thru the slosh to…
So while I was cleaning out the flowers beds (I use the term ‘flower beds’ very loosely by the way) I ran across some completely cool creepy crawlies. And they told me they wanted to be photographed while having their cozy homes disrupted and the universe as they know it, destroyed. Who am I to…
While the first week of fall was gloriously cool, the second week climbed back into the upper 90’s. Running out of time to walk in the morning hours I headed out to our ‘back forty’ about 5 in the afternoon. And while it was hot and I was plagued by mosquito’s it was still nice…
For the first time in YEARS the first week of fall here in east Texas actually FEELS like the first week of fall! Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy! I awoke to see a brisk 51 degrees on the back porch thermometer, pulled on some jogging pants, a long-sleeve T, grabbed my camera and headed for the…
Ladies and Gentlemen (I love that word by the way ‘gentlemen’)…..Ladies and Gentlemen! It has taken 6 months but I am happy to announce the girls are in full swing! Now, who would like an omelet? Have a great weekend y’all!
