I promised y’all a walk soon and here it is! I suppose 97% of Americans who aren’t at work on Memorial Day spend it at the lake. I am not part of the 97%. First of all, I can’t swim. I sink like a rock. Secondly, I’m REALLY white. Like, blindingly and I don’t want…
Highly ambitious, I set out with a goal of walking 5 miles this bright, blue September morning. A goal I reached in about an hours time. I could go faster, but then I’d miss all the lovies along the way! Here is what I saw. I guess all my lamenting over lack of mushrooms a…
It has been ages since I’ve taken a really long walk. A walk which I didn’t have to rush thru like a mad person. My main purpose of walking today was to get some pictures of these awesome mushrooms I found the previous day. They peeked their little heads above the tall grass. Red, slender tubes,…
I know, I know….this walk is from November. But I’ve been a little busy with the holidays, building a house, working and home schooling and trying to keep everyone in clean underwear. And you know, life. I can not tell you how ready I am in to be back in a house of my own. To sip coffee…
September the 11th has a special, painful place in the hearts of Americans. On this particular day I reflect not only on the tragic day in New York, but also on my sister’s birthday. Her birthday came long before terrorists marred not just the day, but the face of American and World history. So I…
So, Addie and I spent a great deal of time at the new place, trying to catch minnows in the creek. But, apparently the minnows in Maydelle sent word ahead to the minnows in Glenfawn, and well. They were impossible to catch. We walked the entire length of the creek, dabbled in each little pool…
I’ve taken exactly 4 walks since we have moved, but this one, number 5, was the first one on which I toted my camera. It was a lovely morning. I tried to get Peaches to go with me but he just stuck out his tongue. He thinks exercising is just for humans. So I headed…
I posted on Saturday about last things. I knew, almost without a doubt, this would be the last walk I took as a resident of Maydelle. In the back of my mind, I tried to think I could squeeze in another one, but it wasn’t to be. So. Here it is. My last walk as…
Well, I still have no news on ‘the move’. But that is nothing new and something I’ve given to God, therefore, I refuse to worry about it. Other than brief panic attacks. But, I’m only human. Thursday, the 19th of May, was lovely. It was cool, cloudy and rainy. Since it was our day off, and Addie…
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…
