Due to recent events beyond my control, I find myself a little heavy-hearted. Frustrated. Irritated. And a host of other words, most of which are unpleasant. Yet, there are these. Pictures from my walk on Tuesday with Addie, a motley dog and an enormous amount of water. And these, these are good. So rather than…
Good morning dear readers! I hope this little walk finds you all well with the world going your way! And, if not, maybe these photos will brighten your day. Last night we had a wild storm, lightening, thunder, tiny bits of hail and enough rain to drown the town. But the rain was needed, the…
Piglet, Winnie-The-Pooh’s best friend, paddles furiously to a tune that goes something like this “And the rain, rain, rain came down, down, down and Piglet started bailing! He was unaware while a’top his chair while bailing he was sailing….” as poor Piglet floats right out of his house, out of his yard and is carried…
It was rather late when I had a break in the days activities and the rain that seems to be our new normal, I walked quickly around our place. Here is what I saw. The berries are ready to pick but a few blooms linger. A Redbud tree holding its share of recent raindrops….. The…
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…
Don’t click this post if slugs gross you out ~ fair warning. It has been raining for what feels like 40 days and 40 nights. Looks a bit like it too, water in the driveway, water in the yard, water on the road, water in the chicken pen, water in the garden, water falling from…
I’m not sure what is has been like in your neck of the woods but here in deep east Texas it has been raining. And raining. And raining. We have had a river flood warning for 6 days in a row. It is perfectly silly. I walked on this day in tall muck boots and…
Wednesday March 4th was a bit odd. Not only did I go to Nacogdoches (almost an hour drive) to work at a feed store for the day, the lovely 80 degrees we were enjoying (if you recall last week my walk featured snow, AH!) dropped to 40 in a two-hour time period. And it rained…
So it has been raining for something like 5 days. And I am growing mold on my person. The horses are safely tucked inside the barn and the calves found a gate left slightly ajar Sunday afternoon. They made a run for it. First they all ran right…. Then they all ran left….. Then they…
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. …
