I finally figured out what the saying “dogs days of summer” means. It means the dogs are living like royalty! They have a 24/7 fresh water baby pool, nice mowed lawn to lay on, a splash pad on demand, shade from the trees to keep them cool, butterflies and grasshoppers to chase, an air conditioned house for tv time, and extra food at dinner because of all the activity. So …
Super simple, quick and easy Southwest Summertime Creamy Corn Dip, is a dish you can easily take for a potluck, picnic or impromptu gathering of friends and family. One of my favorite things to do with this dish, is to make a batch for myself, grab a bowl of scoop chips and dive right in. The Southwest Summertime Creamy Corn Dip is made up of light bright colors very pleasing to …
The baking extravaganza all started with the announcement that my two daughters were coming over early Sunday morning! They had a to do list to do with the horses, it was going to be one of those wonderfully long days filled with outside chores , good food, laughter and complete exhaustion at the end of the day.

First slowly open the jar, you don’t want the pickles to try to jump out and escape onto pasture. Slowly add the …

With the return of warmer temps, I am now able to get everything outside set up in the garden, open up the chicken coops, build gates, repair fences, and turn the outside water back on, and bring the swamp cooler back online. Annie and Penny have been very involved in all the action …
I knew when I woke up that this day would be different than most. I could smell a change in the winds as it engulfed me during my morning rounds. The air smelled sweet, almost foreign but oh so familiar. My best friend was still sleeping, she was tired from a long week at her job. I decided to go out into the yard and do my rounds early …
Let me introduce myself my name is Doc, or Docdog as my humans call me when I am in trouble and not in trouble, kina confusing if you ask me. My owner says I have an “intense personality”, maybe its because I am sort of a border collie, perhaps, some sort of border collies I have met do seem to be pretty intense that’s for sure. I know I have …
