West Texas Dust

I’ve heard so many things about West Texas over the years, opinions seem to vary between indifference to outright vehement bashing, but I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for wide open places and huge skies. I hitched up my britches and Hubsand and I decided to do a mini driving vacation to Marfa, [...]

31 Days of Gratefulness

I suppose this is akin to my Best Moments of the Week lists, but a blogger at Bless Her Heart posted about here 30 days of a grateful heart and it sounded like a good idea.

I’ve been posting one thing a day over on Facebook, but I figured I’d collect them here for posterity [...]

Happy Holidays!

- Things that are like woah.
- Running and feeling good about it even if my motivation was crap.

- Jogging down the dirt roads with the sun dappling through the trees, the cows, [...]

Red Rocks and Pine Trees, Mark II

I ventured back out to Utah again a couple weeks ago for more hiking and visiting. There is something that the red sandstone does to me – it draws me in and opens me up. I love it and I couldn’t wait to go back for more.

The first trip was to a place called Little [...]

Best Moments of the Week – 10/10

- Sunrise farm.

- Predawn light, silhouetting the pine trees.
- Flourless chocolate cake with a fireman’s hat.

- Having thunderstorms most of the afternoon and milking the cow in [...]
