March is Here and I'm Back!

Today is March 1st and I am back to writing again!

It really feels great to be back again.

I wish I had not been away so long , but life happens..

Been doing a lot of Spring Cleaning lately- its been great!

I have actually been enjoying it this year!!!

Husband has brought in more shelving for the Greenhouse and I am thrilled!

So much organizing left to do , it really is soo exciting!

Planted some random new seedlings that grew over the winter,

as well as  a new fig tree that found a while back...

Also doing sooo much Cooking & Baking!

I will add more Recipes soon...

Yall Ready for Spring? Gotten anything planted yet?

(This is More of a Motivation for me -lol) 

Life can be hard but atleast we have weekends...

Today, I am at the Library typing away while I wait for my annoying phone to get the updates it needs for it to work properly. I am so sorry I have not made it on here in a while...

Life has a way of being crazy hectic when you lease expect it to be...

last month another good friend of mine passed away ...she lost her fight to Cancer

 ....that has been really hard to deal with ...

I am very sad and lonely at times..but that is okay, I will make it... 

I hope life has been treating yall well!

I Love Country Life

Hello again,

I have always had a Love for the Country Life!

I believe it came from my Grandpa and Dad! When I was a little girl in Texas my Grandpa had a nice spread of land that I Loved and still remember to this day!

He had a big orchard of fig trees and etc... and a pond , pigs, chickens, goats, turkeys and more...

but it was not in our town or Corpus Christi, Texas but in a another town ...so we did not get to go very often...

My Dad always wanted to move us to Tulsa Oklahoma Country but my Mom is city thru and thru soo that never worked out....

I did however have friends in Tulsa that had a nice piece of land and they would invite me to come out and stay....

We would ride horses , shoot frogs from the pond for frog legs....ate my first frog legs and learned to shear sheep! Rode horses -fell and got back up and on again!

 It was AWESOME! Some of the best memories of my Life!

Anyways, that is a little history of why I have grown to have such a Love for the Country Life and Why I fell in Love with my Hubby and his Land! ;)

lol- it was a plus not going to lie....plus the tight wranglers never hurt , right?! ;)

Well here are tons of pics I took last week of a lot of country here at home and around OKLAHOMA!

I Love OKLAHOMA!

I know that Oklahoma is "slower" than Texas but I Love it nice and slow !

Now that I am a Small Town girl I have really learned what slow country life is like!

lol- Enjoy the Country life around you and snap a pic or 2!

Life can be beautiful - if you try, you can see it!

BTW- I still Love Texas 2!!! :)

I miss it and cannot wait to travel out there again to visit Family and Good Food! :)

Hope yall have a Great Day and take some time to enjoy the Country View!

lol- I know I watch "THE VIEW" SOMETIMES 2!! :)



I Love You Dad and of course Football!

Howdy Yall!

I hope all are well today and ready for the Weekend!

I sure am! I am ready for some Family, Friends and FOOTBALL!!!!

Yes, in that order! :)

Growing up I was the oldest of 2 girls and I think my Dad my have been a little bummed that he never got a boy....

soo I kinda made up for it by tagging along to Football games...

Now at first I really was not interested....I was around 4-6 when I went to my first game with my Dad!

I can almost remember it!

lol- but as I got older....I was like Dad I don't wanna sit by you at the game but I will still go.....there were friends and cute boys everywhere! :)

Must have hurt my Dad pretty bad! Now that he is gone- (he passed away when I was 15)

I cant help but remember all he did for me and his Love for the Game FOOTBALL!!!

Now Growing up in Texas really made the LOVE for FOOTBALL that much greater!

As I got older and I could decide who I really wanted to root for....

and my Dad was never to far from my mind!

My Dad and almost all my Texas Family LOVE AND LIVE DALLAS COWBOY FOOTBALL!

So that kinda stuck! ;)

When I went to OKLAHOMA STATE UNIVERSITY that sealed the deal for my to be a OKLAHOMA STATE COWGIRL to the End! GO POKES!!!

So that is a little history of why I LOVE FOOTBALL AND DALLAS COWBOYS AND OKLAHOMA STATE FOOTBALL!!!

I was not planning on writing so much about why I Love Football ,...but I did sooo there....lol...

Do You Like Football as much as me?

If so I hope your team does well! Unless they play my fav. teams! ;)

Have a Happy Friday and a Great Weekend Yall! :)

GO POKES!!!!!



Good Morning Coyote!

Good Morning Peeps!

I hope everyone is doing well! I know its been a while since I was on here typing away.....sorry life has been sooo busy.....Today however.....

You Ever wake up with a coyote by your back door trying to break into one of your chicken houses?!

Well today was the day for that! I awoke between 6:30 - 7:00 am to the sound of constant barking!

yip yip yip pause.....yip yip yip........annoying in the early morn for sure!!!!

Now my "ranch dog" barks and etc....but she is still what I consider a puppy compared to a coyote .

Her name is peanut and then our other dog Jack is old and done with barking at coyotes and etc...

Anyways....

So this Coyote just keep circling the chicken house round and round

as I am walking out of the house with the gun.

No I don't walk out side with a Gun all the time....but when its that early and the barking wont stop....

you might as well grab the gun just in case.......

Well I walk out see what is going on and get ready to shoot.....now I am a really not the best shot when I have been rudely woken up ....plus I really did not want to pop one of my chickens instead of the coyote......

One Shot right away, I  did not even close the door behind me.......missed......another shot....

Gun was jammed!!! Ugh well atleast I "scared" the coyote of for now.....

Maybe better luck next time.....but I think next time I will be a bit more prepared! ;)

Just a bit of real Oklahoma Country Life for ya there....

Happy Tuesday! Hope Yall have a Great Day!!! :)

Stay out of the Heat and Craft for a Bit
