I AM SO VERY THANKFUL FOR THE INVENTION OF AIR CONDITIONING! THE HEAT HAS BEEN BRUTAL AND THE TEMPS AVERAGING 105 DEGREES ON MOST DAYS! PHEW! I REALLY DON'T LIKE THIS TIME OF YEAR - EXCEPT FOR THE FACT THAT SCHOOL IS OUT!
When you have a moment to stop, breathe in deeply and release slowly...your soul is somehow recharged. I recommend doing it often. I am so thankful for so many things that God has blessed me with: my family and our lives together! Watching our boys grow and become young men can, of course, be frustrating and annoying at times, but when you see them enjoying spending time doing what they love, and the spark in their eyes, that's when you give thanks to God for His Hand on their lives and yours.
AFTER AN AFTERNOON OF FISHING AT THE POND, ZACK RETURNED WITH THIS SOFTSHELL SNAPPING TURTLE! HIS GRIMACING FACE TELLS THAT HE COULD ONLY HOLD IT FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE IT SCRATCHED HIS FINGERS AND TRIED TO SNAP AT HIM...BESIDES THE FACT THAT HE WAS HEAVY!
JAKE'S WORKING AT THE WAGGONER RANCH AGAIN THIS SUMMER - MOSTLY GROUNDS MAINTENANCE AND WHATEVER ELSE NEEDS TO BE DONE. IT'S HARD WORK, BUT HE SEEMS TO LIKE IT ALOT, ESPECIALLY THE PAY! HE USUALLY COMES HOME AND CRASHES FROM THE HEAT AND THE MANUAL LABOR. HE'S KINDA KNOWN AS THE SNAKE CATCHER - AS HE HAS HIS DAD'S BLOOD WHEN IT COMES TO SNAKES! THE HEAT HAS BEEN INTENSE! LAST WEEK, THEY FRIED AN EGG ON THE TAILGATE OF THE DUMPTRUCK!
THE GARDEN IS IN FULL SWING...TOMATOES, SQUASH, JALAPENO PEPPERS, RADDISHES, BEANS AND CUCUMBERS...THE FENCE HAS MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD! IT PROTECTS THE PLANTS FROM THE HOT DRY WINDS AND EVEN PROVIDES A BIT OF SHADE AT CERTAIN TIMES OF DAY!
MY FIRST PAIR OF OLD GRINGO BOOTS! THEIR STYLE NAME IS ROCK STAR! GOT A GREAT DEAL ON 'UM - THEY'RE PYTHON! KINDA A STEP ON THE WILD SIDE, BUT THEY'RE FUN TO WEAR!
I AM SO GLAD THAT IT IS STILL GREEN COMING TO THE END OF JUNE! WE HAVE BEEN BLESSED BY SOME GOOD RAIN!
WE RECENTLY PAINTED THE PORCH BARN RED TO MATCH THE DOORS AND THE TIN ROOF. IT LOOKS SO MUCH BETTER AND SEEMS EASIER TO KEEP CLEAN.
WE ARE SO VERY THANKFUL TO BE BLESSED BY SUCH A GREAT HOME OUT ON THE HOT, DRY TEXAS PLAINS!
THE PUPS HAVE BEEN GROWING LIKE CRAZY AND THEY'RE LIL' BUTTERBALLS! THEY'RE 3 WEEKS OLD NOW AND ARE RAVENOUS EATERS! PENNY IS A VERY GOOD MOM, BUT YOU CAN TELL THEY'RE WEARING HER OUT!
THEY'RE STARTING TO PLAY, BARK AND TUMBLE AROUND!
LIL' CHUNKS!
