Fun with Farmgirl
Originally posted on Meals With Mel:
Hi everyone and happy Monday! Things have sure been busy here in Texas recently and when we are not busy we’ve been out of town.  Recently we took a lovely trip to Virginia to meet up with a good blogging friend of mine, Tonya, from Fourth Generation Farm Girl.  So here’s a little peek at…
The Day Maud and I Went For a Ride In a UPS Truck
I recently completed this painting of our beloved Maud. “Sweet Maud” is an 11 x 14 acrylic on canvas. It was just an ordinary summer day on Green Hill Farm. Â I’d been busy all morning with housework and farm chores when I decided to take a little break to relax. Â After a cup of tea, it was time to […]
To Every Thing There Is A Season
I hadn’t planned to write a post today as I’m feeling sad and a little mopey about Maud. Â While I’m happy she’s not suffering anymore, I miss her. I keep thinking I need to take her for a little walk, give her medicine, or look in on her. Â I miss Maud’s presence. I’ve spent a lot of time with Dash over the course of the day, figuring he may be somewhat confused by Maud’s absence. Â Plus, I needed to be around him more as well. Â It’s been a sunny, beautiful day on Green Hill Farm, and Dash and I have taken full advantage of it by going on two, long walks. Â On our jaunt around the pastures, I noticed both the sheep and chickens basking in the warmth, enjoying the spring weather. Â A sight that offered solace. This afternoon, I was running a tiny bit late feeding the barn cats and collecting eggs–just feeling a little off, I guess. Â Anyway, I walked into the barn, and “Turn! Turn! Turn! (To Everything There Is A Season)” by The Byrds was playing on the radio. Â I don’t know if you’re familiar with the song, but the lyrics, except for the title which is repeated throughout the song, and the final verse of the song, are adapted almost word-for-word from Chapter 3 of the Book of Ecclesiastes, set to music and recorded in 1962. “To everything (turn, turn, turn) There is a […]
Somewhere….Free
Maud Beloved Friend August 2005–April 8, 2016 “Maud” Our howling, rollicking, wide-open girl, your gentle, sweet nature enriched our world. Your hound dog antics and wagging tail created feelings of love and much laughter without fail. Memories of your soulful eyes and slow-lick kiss remind us of what we will surely miss. It’s hard to let go of […]
Sweet Maud
For those of you who follow this blog, you may remember our dog, Maud. Â Maud is our 10-year-old blue tick hound and beloved family member.

Â Since Maud’s initial onset of an autoimmune disorder affecting her platelets and red […]
