Ducks, do I have to love them?

So, before church last Sunday, I took a cute picture of some ducks and then when we came back from church, I wanted to have those ducks for dinner. They tore up my plant. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, but that plant had been out for two weeks, and they never touched it. It is a Chicks and Hens and hopefully will come back. It is sad, because my mother-in-law gave it to me, and I have had that plant for years. She passed away in 2016 and I wanted to bring that plant with us on the road. Fun fact: the plant can grow up to 6 inches tall and 20 inches broad, it is a rosette-forming succulent evergreen perennial, spreading by offsets (in botany and horticulture, an offset is a small, virtually complete daughter plant that has been naturally and asexually produced on the mother plant).


Cute ducks!

Bad ducks!!

Last week was busy for me in a good way. The bad part was that I didn't take very many pictures. I was able to meet up with Fonda on Wednesday, Beth on Thursday and Jean on Friday for lunch. All places we met for lunch were Mexican food restaurants.  "Keeping it real" that certainly worked for me, if I could I would eat Mexican food every day, probably for every meal. 
 
When we stay at an RV park for a while, we will have packages and our mail sent there. I have been doing Christmas shopping and went to the office to pick up packages. Along the way, I saw some turtles. So cute!

They are on a log in the pond.

Got these two before they jumped into the water.

The RV Park where we stayed is close to Lake Conroe. Lake Conroe is on the west fork of the San Jacinto River. It was built as a joint project of the City of Houston, the Texas Water Development Board, and the San Jacinto River Authority in 1973. The lake is man-made by flooding 21,000 acres of East Texas piney woods. It is just west of Interstate 45 off State Highway 105 in Montgomery and Walker counties. It is very popular for boating, jet-skiing and fishing. The lakeside area has flourished with restaurants, marinas and subdivisions interwoven with golf courses.

never goes stale, so just keep on flowing." Bruce Lee

Very beautiful sunset, not taken by me. "They who dwell in the ends of the 
earth stand in awe of Your signs; You make the dawn and 
the sunset shout for joy." Palm 65:8 (NASB)

Saturday, we arrived in Brookshire at the Houston West RV resort. I will share more about that with you next time. Thank you for joining us on our journey!

If there is something special you would like me to take a picture of, please let me know!

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

The Past Two Weeks

I'm back, so sorry about missing a post last week, this week I made sure to get one ready for you. This is officially my 181-blog post and I appreciate you joining in for the journey. We have been busy here in Iraan. We go into town almost every day just to dump trash, we also have driven to Fort Stockton, Ozona and Big Lake. Let me first put up some pictures from January 14th through the 20th. It was full of family, and it was frozen. Here is the family for our January Christmas. In the back are Stef, Robert, Connie and hubby.  In the front are my dad and Baine. Can you see Baine? Little icicles hanging off the cover. There is an icicle on the truck tire. Frozen winter wonderland. It was chilly out there, that is for sure, but we enjoyed being together and celebrating with each other. What a difference a week makes. It has thawed out and we are reaching nearly 70 degrees. As I am writing this it is currently 64 and should hit 67. Some days it seems as though I have to wear two dif
