fat cow blog
Welcome to my little corner of the world where the cattle graze in the pastures, gardens are being tended to, family is gathering and pottery is being made.
spiritual practice
I am a firm believer in Psalms 46:10. Be Still and know that I am God. I have to say to myself, many times a day, BE STILL. My mind wants to race from one thing to the next. It seems like I need to be in constant motion. But, as I age, I crave a simpler life. Not to...
flowers
If you know me, you know how much I love flowers. Any kind of flower, be it a weed, wildflower or most prized rose. If it blooms, I love it. It is still cold in Texas. We really won't warm up until April. That is when the wildflowers show up, in a big way! Texas...
a little reflection
Can you believe it is Christmas already? Sometimes it feels like this year has been 7 years long, and on the other hand, it has flown by. It has certainly been a heavy year. So much to take in, so much to understand and accept. What I do understand is that people...
enjoy
I was chatting with my friend (hey B!) the other day about how in the world it is the middle of October already?! October is my favorite month and I really haven't been enjoying it as I should. I still love all that October offers. Sweaters, fall wildflowers,...

dog days
We are in the dog days of summer. I always thought it was because it was so hot and the dogs just laid around in the shade, not wanting to do anything. But, according to the Farmer's Almanac, " The phrase is actually a reference to the fact that, during this...
sentiment and viewpoint
I have been going back and forth on what subject to write about on my blog. So, I just haven't written. Like many of you, I am sure, are a bit disorientated. Our generation hasn't ever gone through anything like the COVID19 pandemic before. I was going ninety miles...
last of the winter days
I love winter, I love the coziness of watching a movie by the fire while curled up in a warm blanket and a cup of hot tea within reach. I love the time it allows us to rest, not worrying about the garden or yard work. To be able to thumb through magazines for ideas...
