Sunday I took this photo. The grass was still brown and yellow, the palms still shocked from the hard winter we’ve had, but there was sun and there was blue sky. And it was 76 degrees.
There wasn’t an inkling anywhere of stormy skies or God forbid, that nasty [...] Another recycled post in the migration… this post was originally written on March 26, 2009 and re-reading it now, I think you’re going to like it- Country Life- the Facts There’s no getting around the fact that there are some ‘givens’ that come with this zany life. I mean, let’s face it: 1. Life is UNpredictable We are in the [...] Yesterday was Saturday and little D and I found ourselves alone here at the ranch. I was committed to spending the majority of the day putzing around the house, desperate for some time to just relax and not have to be on the move like I have been all week. I just needed some down [...]
So here I was, trying to give my sweet, spoiled rotten colt, some love. This is Wimpy, who, much like his name and very much UNlike his sire, he is a Wimp. Well- he used to be at least. HE BIT ME! Man that made me good and mad. Maybe he was trying for my [...] 10/25/09 Actually got OFF the frontier yesterday. We all piled into the truck and headed to town.

My friends, you delivered! Thank you! I cracked up reading and relating to so many of your sentences, though the squirrel stew scared me!! Maybe I haven’t [...]
I slept on the couch last night. I fell asleep just as Mariano Rivera got his 3rd out to end the game for the Yanks. I feel compelled to stay up, fearing somehow that if I don’t channel all of my excitement and positive thoughts to the team, they might wind [...]
Heading to the barn with the ranch dogs after school on Friday
Some people get off of work on Friday afternoon, anticipating big plans for their evening. Friday night has generally been celebrated for saying “goodbye” to a hard week and “hello” to a fun and relaxing weekend. [...] I think fall has fallen into our laps here in Central Texas… the past few days have had a cool, crispness to the air and a drizzly, rainy landscape that is very different backdrop than what we have endured since early May. Being from the Midwest, I appreciate and love all four seasons in some way, [...] Since going back to work, I feel like I am leading a double life. During the week, I feel like a working mother who rushes around and drops kids off to school and makes important decisions between the hours of 8 and 5 in business suits and heels. On the weekends, I am a rancher’s wife. I [...]  |
