Nugent

My daughter kept seeing a dog at the end of our road that didn't have a collar or tags on.

One day she opened the door of her truck and he jumped in.

She brought him home, because we don't have enough dogs already ;-) 

and he has lived on our front porch since. 

He's sweet.

She named him Nugent. 

He likes us. :-)

Three Truck Family :-)

An old truck for a young boy.

1987 Ford Flareside 

It needs a little work.

But, that's the way it should be. :-)

Arkansas Camping

For Spring Break this year my family took a camping trip

to Arkansas.  We went to the Shady Lake campground in the Ouachita Forest. 

We've camped there before and just love it.

It rained the first evening ,

but the rest of the time we were there the weather was really nice.

Sleeping outside is pretty much my favorite thing ever,

so I was a happy girl for three nights.

A handsome, bearded man in flannel frying bacon.

Another favorite thing. ;-)

We hiked up to a fire lookout one morning. 

And Mr. H. manned the campfire every night.  

If you're looking for a nice campground in Arkansas, 

I highly recommend Shady Lake!

I can't wait to go back. :-)

Ranch Day

Mr. H. and I headed out to the ranch back in March 

and I took lots of pictures of the cows.  

Because I love the cows. :-)

These two babies are so sweet.

I think this one stuck his tongue out at me!

Mr. H. named this one Domino. ;-)

This momma decided to do a little tailgating...

Ha!

A quick walk down to the pond.

And then some shooting before we had to leave.

Mr. H. had me shoot one of his AR's.  

Wish everyday was a ranch day!

Jalapeño Cheese Corn Bread Muffins

The kids love my jalapeño cheese corn bread.

I love my country corn bread muffins.

So tonight I combined the two 

and used my jalapeño cheese corn bread recipe,

but made it into muffins.

Best of both worlds. 

They came out great.  

I baked them at 400 for 20 minutes,

and added a cute little jalapeño on top of each one. :-)

Buttermilk Biscuits

2 cups flour

1 tablespoon sugar

3 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup butter

3/4 cup buttermilk

extra butter

Preheat oven to 450.

Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Cut in butter.

Add buttermilk and stir just until combined.

Cut out biscuits and place on parchment lined cookie sheet.

Bake 12 minutes or until golden brown.

Spread tops with melted butter.

Enjoy!
