I’m not sure what is has been like in your neck of the woods but here in deep east Texas it has been raining. And raining. And raining. We have had a river flood warning for 6 days in a row. It is perfectly silly. I walked on this day in tall muck boots and…
Wednesday March 4th was a bit odd. Not only did I go to Nacogdoches (almost an hour drive) to work at a feed store for the day, the lovely 80 degrees we were enjoying (if you recall last week my walk featured snow, AH!) dropped to 40 in a two-hour time period. And it rained…
Big News! It SNOWED. Like, here, in Texas! Where I live! Sure it only snowed about 4 hours then promptly melted but it was pretty and it was fun while it lasted. Snow isn’t my most favorite thing but I must admit, I was glad it was on a Wednesday so I was forced to…
I spent the first half of Wednesday baking heart-shaped cookies for our homeschool group decorating party, which was also held at my house. We decorated and ate and had fun. Then my good friend Amanda helped me prune my fruit trees, It was the most stressful thing I think I’ve ever done. There are no…
I slept until 8:00 today. Well, I stayed in bed until 8:08. It was glorious. Until I realized my step-son had turned on the coffee pot at 5:30 and it went off at 7:30 which meant the coffee was cold when poured into my favorite mug. I can’t stand cold coffee. I gulped down a…
Wednesday, my day off, was spent working at my old job, attending a home-school painting party, trying to clean house, feed Rachel, check on a horse with colic and numerous other activities. All of which interfered with my walk. Which is fine. I don’t mind helping out at my old job. I had fun at…
This Wednesday began perfectly brilliant and I thought “hmm, I’ve got heaps of time to walk on this beautiful, sunny day”. This resulted in my procrastination to the evening hours which brought not only low light but rain and cold. Pitter patter on my head was the tune I danced to along our back forty. …
As I’ve been super crazy busy this past week, adjusting to my new, super-fantastic job, traveling over-night to Fort Worth for a book convention with one of my bestest friends and just dealing with life in general I find myself one post short for the week and my ‘walk’ not even prepared for you all…
There are several reasons I call the great state of Texas home. I’ll not bother listing them all now but one main reason is the weather. Sure, summers are hot but the winters are mild and wonderful. I don’t know who moved me without my permission but the last couple of weeks I’ve not spent…
The last day of 2014 was cold, wet and just plain miserable for all intents and purposes. Except for reading on the sofa, which is how I spent most of the day. I read “Water for Elephants” for the second time. Then I started “All Creatures Great and Small” for the fourth time. James Herriot…
