I was working on a new volume of Heritage Travels and came across this post. I just can't resist sharing it again...
These are some photos of our home in 2010.
It was just beginning to snow.
Yes, we leave our Christmas lights up
as long as possible. Good thing this year, huh?
This is shot from a high spot behind the house. I'm so glad the Lord
came up with evergreen trees; they make winter time a little less
"brown."
Back to the front yard, this is our hitchin' rail for the horses.
This is some of our stock and our Austrailian Shepherd, Junior. The
horse is a Thoroughbred named July, and the donkey is Mordacai. He's
known as a "Jesus" donkey because looking down on him the coloring
shows a dark line of hair across his shoulders and down his back.
Mordacai is the FUNNIEST animal and an absolute sweetheart.
Here we are in the forest (WE call it a forest - our neighbor laughs and
says that in
Texas
it's known as a "stand of trees." Hey! We are both born
and raised true Texans! WE call it a forest.) Anyway, here we are
in the forest next to the puddle. We call it a puddle because it's a pond
that doesn't hold water so very well. Our sons are in the process of
digging us a REAL pond on the other side of the land.
This is the swingin' tree that our grandkids, young and old, love to hang
out under in the summertime.
John calls this area "the park." It's one of his favorite
places in our front yard because it makes him feel like he's, well, in a park.
The sun is going down, the snow has almost stopped, so John had to give up
on his picture taking. I feel better about Christmas now. Hope you
do to!
Yes, folks! It does snow in Texas - just not every year!
