Getting ready for yet another journey, I spent Wednesday scurrying about preparing and working to ensure everything went smoothly in my absence. However, Addie and I went for a quick walk and ride thru the forest in the early morning hours while the heat had not yet penetrated the canopy of leaves. It was very…
July is always hot in Texas and today was no exception. I had recently been commissioned to feed the neighbors creatures so I awoke early and walked there and back, taking photos along the way. Here is what I saw. Roadside nettles are always pretty! Morning sunlight thru the trees and on some pinecones…. At…
I have a confession to make. I did not walk on July the 8th. I spent 4 hours doing laundry at the neighbors because our sewer backed up into the kitchen which translates loosely to bad smells and no using the washing machine, dish washer, sinks, toilets or showers. Ugh. Add this to me being…
I am known as a chicken who likes to fly the coop every so often, so when I had the chance to visit Austin for the weekend I jumped at the opportunity. It wasn’t a traditional funky, weird Austin style get-away but fun just the same. I played creeper in the night by taking pictures…
Even after a week of sunshine there are still puddles everywhere but I’m not complaining! I spent an hour drinking coffee on the porch, watching the hummingbirds fight, then slipped on my tennis shoes for a walk. Here is what I saw. The Mama chicken and her two rapidly growing children, ready to escape the…
Something AMAZING happened! It stopped raining in Texas! I’m sure most of you have heard on the news about the horrific flooding and winds causing damage and taking multiple lives in the Lone Star state.

My mom has a picture of me when I was about 6 years old, riding my dad’s Harley with him. That was the coolest I’ve ever been and the pinnacle of my biker days. Except for a brief period in my early 20’s when I found myself in possession of a “crotch rocket” I couldn’t…
I was in Nacogdoches yet again for work and Addie was my helper for the entire 10 hour day. After we closed down the store we needed to stretch our legs a bit and since it wasn’t raining, thank God, we went over to the arboretum at Stephen F. Austin state university. SFA happened to be the location…
Yes. I know I should have posted this a month ago. But it was either now or wait until next April. Or I guess I could have waited until October and shocked your eyeballs with a blast of purple. Then again the rapture may happen this summer and you would never see the glory that was…
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…
