fat cow blog
Welcome to my little corner of the world where the cattle and horses graze in the pastures, gardens are being tended to, cats and dogs play, family and friends are gathering and pottery is being made.
Untie
I read a quote not long ago "Don't cut what you can untie". At the time, it just meant to not cut the pretty ribbon, to untie it and save it. I have a drawer full of ribbons, twine, cords and wire that I have untwisted and saved. I use most of them. Some I am saving...
Summer Sale
I am having a summer sale! It is 107 degrees in central Texas today. I am so ready for cooler temperatures! Come September 1st, I don’t care if it is 110 degrees outside, I will be putting a fall wreath on our gate. I am almost giddy thinking of fall and all that...
Family
I have a family reunion coming up in September. I haven't been to one in years. I was always too busy, couldn't take time off from work or just couldn't get away. I feel ashamed that I didn't take the time. In the past five years, both of my parents have passed away,...
Inspired by nature
My motto for my fat cow studio is "Inspired by the country life". But it is more inspired by nature that comes with living in the country. I have always loved the outdoors, fresh air, flowers, animals and insects..(to a point). This past year I decided to take my...
Home
Home- noun A place of residence or refuge, the place in which one's domestic affections are centered; a dwelling place or retreat. Home sweet home. It's where your heart is. Coming home, pulling into our driveway, seeing a light on in the kitchen, our rose bush...
Sweet summertime
Summer is in full swing. Every year, I hope we have a mild summer. Every year, I am wrong. But then again, I live in Texas where it is hot, especially in the summer. This past spring was glorious! We had lots of rain that brought on an abundance of wildflowers. Texas...
Roots of my raising
I was on my way to work early this morning, listing to old country music station. A song came on that I haven't heard in years. It was "The roots of my raising" by Merle Haggard from 1976. In 1976, I was graduating from high school and listening to the Eagles,...
Welcome to my new website!
My first blog on my new website! I loved my old website, it served me well. But, sometimes you have to shake things up a bit. Bring in some new energy, clear away stagnant sentiments. Start anew. I love my website team at Greenfox Marketing. Tanner, Amy and Melissa...
be still and listen
I haven't blogged in a while. I have been quiet and trying to listen. There is so much chatter, vaingloriousness and bravado everywhere. I have been busy ignoring all the above mentioned doings. I have been taking care of my...
Ebb and Flow
There is an ebb and flow to life. Highs and lows. Some days we are just so grateful for everything, some days, not so much. During times of the lows, it is easy to stay down, to just give in to the feeling of sadness, loneliness, grief, resentment and even anger. All...
It looks like rain.
It looks like rain. Something we haven't seen in our small town in months. My husband told me the old rancher guys would say, while drinking their coffee at the local gas station/diner, "We are one day closer to rain!" We will welcome the relief from the blistering...
Loud quiet
I have noticed lately how loud the world is becoming. Even on a quiet day there is noise. Cell phones buzzing and dinging for our attention, fitbits and Apple watches vibrating to walk more or check that instant message. Reminders going off on iPads and Alexa. All...
