Planting an herb garden is fun, functional, and fulfilling. The best part is harvesting and using your herbs in cooking, crafts, or … Continue reading Planting Herbs in Small Spaces
We actually saw two of these amazing creatures today, which in itself is quite unusual. On our way back from the barn, low movement in the under story caught husband's eye. It was a nice, big armadillo heading across the far end of the pasture towards "the back forty". It was already after noon at this … Continue reading Woo-Hoo… Armadillo Rodeo!

Troy and I went for our evening walk a couple of days ago and this is the face … Continue reading My mule wears LIPSTICK!?!?!
Yes, you read that correctly... 2007. This is a "flash back" post of sorts. Not something I plan to do often, but I so enjoyed this event that I wanted to share a bit of it with the world. Having grown up on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, just an hour away from New Orleans, REAL parades … Continue reading 2007 Enid’s Oklahoma Centennial Parade (Part 1 of 3)
