Bikes and the Beach

We had some time to play after our crazy winter cold snap. It was wonderful to be able to ride our bikes on the beach. Tom and Tracy showed us the way. It was a little scary crossing FM (FM stands for Farm to Market) 3005, it is a busy road, but we did it. Then hubby gave me some instructions on how to make sure I survived riding on the beach. 

 
Do you ever wonder if it is ok to have down time, to take time to enjoy what God has given us? I looked up verses on fun in the Bible and this is what I found. First, Solomon is contrasting evil people against God-fearing people. He is sharing with us in Ecclesiastes 8:12-15 that all will go well for God-fearing people, in the end; and since we have to toil on Earth, we should enjoy what God has given us. I found that very interesting in Ecclesiastes 8:15 (NET) “So I recommend the enjoyment of life, for there is nothing better on earth for a person to do except to eat, drink, and enjoy life. So joy will accompany him in his toil during the days of his life which God gives him on earth.”
 

God is so good, riding my bike on the beach was fantastic. His creation so beautiful and amazing to see. He is an awesome Creator!

We leave today for Magnolia Fields RV Resort and will be there for the month of March. After that, watch out, we are on our way to ID for the month of June!

God, the RV & me...

Buffalograss Who Knew?

What a week it has been, hot is the word for it. Actually, the tee-ball game last Thursday was moved from 6:30pm to 7:30pm and I was so glad about that. It cooled down to 96 degrees and that made it so much better. The weather also gives us beautiful skies.  These dark and mysterious clouds did not produce rain for us. I just love the way they look. Another picture of the moon. Monday was laundry day and that felt good to knock it out in one day. Funny, my washer/dryer takes 2 and a half hours for one little load, going into the house, I can knock laundry in a lot less time than that. Don't get me wrong, I love my washer/dryer. It was over three years ago we got this, so love being able to  wash in the RV verses a laundry mat. "Keeping it real" Tuesday was a gut-wrenching day, I woke up to find out one of my best friend's daughter has passed away. She found out she had cancer in 2020 and battled through that and even got to ring the bell, not only to find out later th...

A Labor of Love

Working on the ranch is truly a blessing. I enjoy mowing and now that we have a new weed sprayer, I enjoy riding around on the Polaris spraying the paths to the feeders and deer stands. This was just water, needed to do that first to make sure all the sprayers worked. Tuesday, we went to Kirsten's house so hubby could see her deck and new chicken coop. She lives at a higher elevation than we do. I was able to take this picture of the sunsetting. So beautiful. Isn't God so creative! We have Mesquite trees around here, fun fact: they are not native to this area. They are a nuisance, and they have thorns. What they have that is good is pods and the deer like to eat them. I am trying to get the grass to grow more, I have a few mesquites that will be take out. I don't like the "messy" look, so trying to get this area looking better, of course with hubby's help. Can you see the pods? So, we have blink cameras and a game camera out and about the house, RV and by the ...

Quiet out West

Image
Well, the past week was full of wind, going into town and quietness. I told hubby that Wednesday I just wanted to stay on the property and that is what we did. Saturday, we made it to the big town of Midland so that we could run errands and grocery shop. I got my Food Saver and have already used it on the spaghetti I made on Monday. Also used my bread machine and made baguettes a couple of times. Here is my new bread cutting board. My bread machine makes two loaves.  Hubby checks the game camera every day and we have noticed that there are more and more javelina coming around. Caught on the Blink Camera. A momma and her babies. Although it is gross seeing all the javelina. Silly deer.  This is what Wednesday looked like outside before the sunset. I am telling you; I love it out here and the beautiful skies God creates. He is so awesome! So pretty! "Do you know how God establishes them, and makes the lightning of His cloud to shine?" Job 37:15 (NASB). Next Saturday I am hoping...
