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. While my home has been unaffected for the most part, other than some issues caused by wind and lightening, others…
Piglet, Winnie-The-Pooh’s best friend, paddles furiously to a tune that goes something like this “And the rain, rain, rain came down, down, down and Piglet started bailing! He was unaware while a’top his chair while bailing he was sailing….” as poor Piglet floats right out of his house, out of his yard and is carried…
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…
The last Wednesday in April was cool, clear and glorious! All I had to do that day was see the dentist at 2:00 plus run some small errands. So I took it upon myself to go up to the main section of the state forest surrounding our home for a lengthy, leisurely, restful walk. Here…
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!

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…
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…
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…
Does life ever get crazy for you, my fair readers? It does for me, more often than I’d care to notice or admit. Wednesday March 18th was a bit crazy. I awoke feeling perfectly rotten, drove to the dentist and had my teeth cleaned in torrential rain, came home and laid about most of the…
