Sunshine and Ice storms...we NEED RAIN!!!

January brought the typical Texas contrasts!

One day sunshine, 70 degrees and armadillos digging..

4 days later... sub freezing ice storms and slick roads...

but oh how pretty the cottages look ... like a winter wonderland just
beckoning for hot chocolate by a cozy fire
and.... a good book!

then... 4 more days later, and it's
"get the sandbox ready for our February guests"

... and the armadillo scuttles back to his favorite place!

the creek bed full of nice bugs and

MY EARTHWORMS... thank you very much!

they are for my garden and the soon to be

wildflowers that KG and I have so carefully

scattered for Spring~

WELCOME FRIENDS!

we're expecting YOU!

fossil hunt '08

This spring once again brought our special elementary group from Lawn to our little "mountain". They sent us wonderful pictures of each one of them holding a fossil they'd found. We so appreciate the fact that they "find" the fossils and then replace them for the next year's "paleontologists" to "find". What good conservation skills these teachers are teaching! Thank you for taking care of our place like it were your place....

I suppose, in all reality, it's neither ours or yours, but only the ONE WHO owns everything, right?

anyway... we love you guys and appreciate your consideration!

Lunch at the "dig site".
Things have changed regularly since we first put out these postcards... soon there will even be running water that we don't have to HAUL!!!! yeah Steamboat!
One thing that will never change.... is the "peace" prayed over this place... and the fact that the WAY in our GateWay is only His!
