It’s almost Christmas and all the crazies are out shopping. At least, I guess they are, I wouldn’t know. I don’t want to know. Instead, I’ll share some sights captured in the early morning hours. Here is what I saw. Nosey thought we were going for a real, bone-fide walk. Not just a trek thru…
As I sit here, listening to Hugh Jackman belt out tunes from ‘Oklahoma’, I find it difficult to recall what I did preceding my walk last Wednesday. However, in my defense, I find it hard to focus on anything when Hugh Jackman is involved. There were trees, mushrooms and leaves present. And it was late…
Yesterday was my 33rd birthday and it was lovely. It was made even more lovely by the fact we recently received over 2 inches of rain and a cool front. So this Wednesday I donned a long-sleeve shirt and hit the woods about 8:30 a.m. Here is what I saw. My Redbud tree, hanging on…
Let’s try this again, shall we? My fingers got ahead of my brain yesterday and some of you darling readers were delivered an almost blank post. I’m sorry about that. Here we go. Again. Meanwhile, back in Texas, there was a scarecrow trail. We went. And walked. And it was 5:00 in the afternoon. The…
One of the prettiest drives in my part of the world lies on Highway 21 between Alto and Nacogdoches, Texas. One of the reasons is this little, old church. When I drive past it in the early morning hours, the sunrise shines through the windows, filling the entire building with a golden, seamless, glow. It…
Texas is hot. And I know I said, repeatedly, last winter that I would not complain about the heat when it arrived. So I’m not. Complaining that is. I’m simply stating a fact in an exasperated voice while sweating and squishing fire ants with my index finger. It. Is. Hot. I put off walking until…
I love September. I love that it ushers in fall, cooler weather (sometimes), deer and elk season are right around the corner and that means camping and camp fires and mountains and well, I just love September. My first walk this September occurred in town but that was okay, Addie and I ventured out of…
A sweltering day in front of me, I knew getting out early would be in my best interest. Even though it was before 8:00 a.m. I still spent 15 minutes wandering around the yard trying to get my camera lens to un-fog itself. It is ‘un-fog’ or de-fog’? One of the great mysteries of life…
It hasn’t rained in our part of the state since late June. As far as I can see there are only 2 benefits to this fact. Number one-the local water department is making a fortune off me and mine trying to keep trees alive. Number two-the forest smells glorious. The scent of dried pine and…
Hello Peeps! The Texas heat has been brutal, 106 the past few days and I’ve lost one hen to the temp’s already. So my family and I decided it would do us good to cool off a bit at a friends houseboat in Kentucky. We drove then walked, boated and floated about for a weekend.…
