Sunrise
This is a photo of the scene that prompts me to think about our future farm life every morning. It's from the commuter train I take into downtown every day (is that obvious? haha) but it's right at a park with millions of bare branches that seem to be embracing the sunrise. Every day I pass this spot and think about how one day I'll just be able to walk out on my front porch and sit and enjoy watching the sun rise over the craggy branches of a winter forest...

Back and Better'n ever!
After a brief stint of non-blogging and a change of name, we're back...
This weekend, in our lame attempt at country living, we attended the Fort Worth Stock Show. It was my first time in a LONG time (maybe ever?)to be around real live sheepsies, and let me tell you, I'm convinced. Let's do it! They only had Ramboulliet, Hampshires, Colombians, and a couple of other common breeds (I was hoping to see some Navajo Churros or the like) but they were great. I've never really seen the "flocking instinct" up close, but they would just lead one out of the arena after the show, and there they would all go! Rushing to see who could be the closest to the first one out the gate! So much fun... I can't wait to have some... and chickens! There were some beautiful chickens. I wonder... could I have a couple of banty hens in my Dallas backyard? Hmmm....
