Spring Evening

I love all the seasons but evenings in the spring are really something special. I jumped out at a stop sign on my way home from work to snap this little slice of tranquility. Have a great Sunday everyone!

Hatch Day!

I’ve never had a desire to incubate eggs and I honestly don’t like letting hens set a nest.  It always seems to end poorly for the hatchlings.  But when I found this nest in the hay, for some reason, I left it alone. A few days later I spy the mama.  My funny, anti-social hen…

Wicked Walk 4/22/2015

I scurried out late Wednesday April 22nd and fought the mosquitoes yet again.  Still, all was lovely. Here is what I saw. Flowers EVERYWHERE! And I wish I could send you the heavenly smell I inhaled!  The honeysuckle is everywhere and blooming like mad. Okay, bonus points for all who can spot the butterfly! 1,…

Wicked Walk 4/15/2015

April 15th.  Tax day in the states, yet having mine turned in with 48 hours to spare, I was able to walk in peace. Here is what I saw. At the end of our driveway, in the morning sun, a plain purple flower seemed quite glamorous to me. And some little spiders have been mighty…

Alone Again

As most of you know, Rachel had friends.  Her friends recently got to big to rope and had to go home.  Rachel was a little upset, until she figured out she could work the gate open and go visit the horse pasture….. “Hi Mama!  Got any extra milk!?” “Nevermind Mama!  I got some running to…

Bird Babies

A few weeks back Addie came to me with an announcement.  “There is a bird’s nest in my fort!”  This was followed by a similar exclamation of “There are THREE eggs!”  Then there were 5 eggs and 2 days ago Addie came back into the house, breathless, gasping “There are BIRDS and they are doing…

Flowers

I love moss rose.  You can’t hardly kill them, they flower every day and they grow super-duper fast.  This year I ended up with some great colors. Pink flowers are nice.  Red flowers are sexy.  Purple flowers are purdy.  But yellow, orange and peach are my favorite.  Luckily I ended up with all three. Happy…

Wicked Walk 4/08/2015

To be perfectly honest I don’t recall the events leading up to my walk last Wednesday, April the 8th.  I just remember I walked late and my sister was with me.  Which was a little sad because I knew it would be the last time she joined me for a walk in quite some time,…

Wicked Walk 4/1/2015

I don’t put much thought into April Fools Day but I must say I was a bit of fool walking in the mosquito storm encountered this April first 2015.  They were thick and wicked and swarmed my head each and every time I paused for a photo.  I’ve lived here forever and never felt like…

Wicked Walk 3/25/2015

I have a confession to make.  I forgot to walk until almost 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday March the 25th.  I worked most of the early morning and afternoon then spent 2 hours in the dentist’s chair having some much over-due work done.  Then I drove home in 10 to 15 minute intervals because the dentist…
