A Sunday afternoon walk........

Creek on our property

Beautiful old tree with a massive root system on the bank of the creek

The wild ferns are gorgeous!


Just a shot of a jet going overhead. Close enough to capture four jet streams!
If you click on the photo it will get larger and you can see what I'm talking about.
It was pretty awesome!



Me and Ferd took off this afternoon and got in the creek just down the hill. This creek winds around and has forks going off in all different directions. We got in the water and just walked for about two hours. It was so beautiful! It really reminds me of a tropical rain forest down there, with the wild ferns growing out the sides of the banks , little rock water falls here and there and the dragonflies flitting around like little fairies. And peaceful down there! MAN! You couldn't hear anything except the wind blowing through the trees. There were places where the water was just about ankle deep and then there were knee deep spots but we just trudged on through. I was having a hard time maneuvering without slipping on the rocks but Ferd was good to help me through the bad spots. I wore sandals and that was a bad idea because they gave me no traction walking across the wet rocks. Anyway, you really should see it down there. Maybe next time we'll take a picnic lunch and make it a real adventure.
You guys have a great week and don't forget to pray for one another. God bless..........

Yeager's new beach retreat!

Trailer loaded with lumber.

Jeff fixing to run me over!

Deep thought!


Monster log!



The birth of the new Beach House!

We had a really good day today. Jeff and Susie came over and brought three humongous pine logs that needed to be cut on the sawmill. They are planning to rebuild at the beach since Hurricane Ike took everything they had and left the country with it! It's so good to see them planning again. They got lots and lots of lumber and it should be a good start for their rebuilding.

I truly have nothing much to write about tonight. It is very late and I am very tired so I'm headed to bed. Hope everyone has a great day tomorrow! God bless.........

Garden and stuff.........

Chicken Hawk in flight!

Neat reflection photo on the pond.

Going to have lots of corn!


Corn, Green Beans & Watermelons


I haven't been on in quite a while and Alfred asked me to take some pics of his garden and post them. So, here ya go. We have a bumper crop of Zucchini Squash, Yellow Squash, New Potatoes & Cucumbers! It is wonderful and there is nothing like the taste of fresh vegetables right out of the garden! I put a lot of squash in the freezer yesterday and today but there will be that much more again tomorrow. Anyone need squash? :)
Trav has moved to Plano and is doing very well. He has his own apartment directly across from his office so he can walk to work every day. He is loving his freedom and it feels so good knowing he is finally getting on with his life. I know God has wonderful things in store for him and I can hardly wait to see it all unfold. Continue to keep him in your prayers. Actually, please keep Trav, Jeremy and Jamie in your prayers. Things don't always work out the way we expect them to in life but we MUST BELIEVE that always God knows best, no matter how difficult the circumstance. He has proven it time and time again.
We went riding all over the place today and of course I had my camera with me. I got a pretty good shot of a Hawk flying overhead and also the old boat on the pond bank had a perfect reflection in the water......I couldn't resist it. We haven't slowed down much in the past month but I will try to start posting regularly again. I really enjoy writing but lately I just haven't been making myself do it. God bless you all and have a blessed week!
