This cute cat reminds me of a story Mama tells of when she was a little girl. Papaw cut a small opening in the wall and hung a rubber flap on it so their cats could go in and out of the house. I guess Papaw was and an early embracer of  cat doors, huh? […]

I’m sure you’ve heard the old saying, “make hay while the sun shines.” A simple saying, really, meaning to get your work done while it’s daylight, before time runs out, or while things are going good. But, literally, there’s more to it than that. I grew up hearing this saying. I’ve lived it. So, let […]

I must have too much time on my brain: not on my hands, mind you, because I’m always busy with something it seems. But my mind does have time to wonder and ponder things. I wonder what thoughts went through pioneer women’s heads when they realized they were about to embark on trip that would […]

The story… On October 8th, I was at a local festival selling my books. I’ve had a booth at Sebastopolooza every […]

This “nostalgic” piece was one of my first articles published years ago in Mississippi Magazine (June/July 2002). Not only am I sharing a piece that was written twenty years ago, but the events in the article happened 40+ years ago. So that’s a trip down memory lane within a trip down memory lane. What fun! […]

Getting stuck seems to be what we do best on the Hillman Farm.   For your viewing pleasure, here are just a few of our more interesting moments….   ***   March 29, 2008, my Cowboy called and said that there was a steer STUCK IN A TREE.    Yes, those were his exact words…. Stuck.In.A.Tree!   This was […]
