Little Man’s New Friend

I love that my boy ain’t skeered of small crawly bugs! He just grabbed up this little caterpillar and let it crawl all over him. I didn’t even want it on me and he tried to put it on me. I just pretended I need to go pee. It was quite a show though really. [...]

Sometimes it’s refreshing to just go outside and enjoy nature.  Of course here in West Texas, there ain’t a whole lot to look at, not like in a place like Branson Missouri but you make do and move on.   Finally, after months and months of no rain, we got a small shower.  Not much, but enough to [...]
