The final month of the nature journal! Hibernation, lake skating, winter birds and all the fun of Christmas!

Noxious vs Native plants. Oof! What a battle!! I have first hand experience (lots of blisters to prove it) pulling out noxious Hoary Alyssum on our property. Hoary is toxic to horses and yes, my horses have a serious reaction to it. Let’s all do our part to encourage native plant growth and fight back those invasive species!!

I had so much fun painting paintings for our kids!! This one is Ella’s. It was a misty, foggy morning out on the xcountry field in Texas and I caught a few moments of her and her horse Indy as they galloped across the fields. I loved going back to this moment as I painted this scene. We were gifted so many beautiful moments like this that we shared together. I’m forever grateful.
