‘ My husband walked a bit further in the forest while I continued to wonder about the rock outlines.  He called to me, “come and see.”  I walked toward his voice in another grove of pines.  A cash register was sitting on the ground.

Abilene Reflection

Posted on June 25, 2022June 18, 20221 Comment on Abilene Reflection

Backyard Beauties

Posted on May 14, 2022May 6, 2022No Comments on Backyard Beauties

Why is it that we never deeply explore our own ‘backyard’ adventures as much as the visitors and tourists do? As we travel, I am always looking for green tracts on the maps. Because of the dog, we are identifying places to stop and let him run and sniff a bit. That is how I … Continue reading Backyard Beauties
