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…
I spent last Wednesday franticly baking, cooking, scrubbing, scurrying and basically losing my mind in preparation of Thanksgiving. The lady I work for was hosting thirty people. My grandparents on my mother’s side were hosting thirty-two people and my dad’s side, twenty-three. And I got to help all of them. Which was great and glorious and fine,…
Here is the walk that didn’t get published last week, it was a brief walk but a good one. This is what I saw. The recent rain had mushrooms and fungi popping up all over the place. As a matter of fact, the radar showed rain moving in early and staying all day. Thus, the reason…
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…
My last walk of September was, as you may recall, taken in Wyoming. Our annual elk hunting trip hit the Cowboy State this year, thanks to careful planning and the luck of the draw. I’ll touch more on our 2 week adventure later this week but for now I’d like to share the photos I…
Substitute. Substitute is a word I can not spell. It is one of those words I can barely get close enough to spelling correctly that my computer is able to decipher my meaning. But that is neither here nor there. As you read this I will be a good 30 miles from internet connections, cell phone service or…
Another Wednesday I found myself in town, all these Wednesdays in town are self-inflicted but still. I’ll be glad when I get back to my old ‘free as a bird, without a care in the world, taking leisurely photo-capturing stroll’ Wednesdays. Soon, my friends, very soon. Maybe. Anyway, while the childrens were all in church…
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…
