A look Down the Road.....on Monday's Country Back Roads

 

What I see is a fresh start for the week ahead.

 

The sun is out and the afternoon temperatures will reach 75 degrees.

 

Now that is what I call a good Monday.

Finding Natural Color in January....for Friday Fences

 

Even though my part of Texas

 has seen some harsh weather conditions in the last few weeks,

 there is still beauty to be found.

 

 What comes to mind are color names like...

 Burnt Sienna, Burnt Orange or Rusty Brown.

 

How would you describe it?

 

Friday is here

 and, I am looking forward to a garden project.

Enjoy your day.

Wind Waves on the Prairie.....

 

 

Just look at this pond....usually it's as smooth as glass.

This past week end, relentless 35mph winds pounded us.

 

 

I had to laugh....I could feel my earrings swinging in the wind,

 while I was trying to photograph.

 

 

 

Posing for the camera, this young calf has his winter coat on.

 

The weather in January has been strange, to say the least.

One week our temperatures dipped down to 21 degrees (felt like 11).

 

Can you believe the following week it was in the 80's ?

Red Barn High on a Hill.... for Monday's Country Back Roads

 

With large acreage farms and ranches, here on the prairie of Texas,

 it is not easy to find a barn close enough to photograph.

 

 

Monday's weather is proving to be perfect

 for capturing country scenes like this.

 

January is flying by.....

Enjoy your week.

Remembering The Boys of Praha, Texas....for Veteran's Day

 

In a space of 1 year and 9 days, during World War II,

 Praha, Texas, a small community of 100,

lost most of its young men.

 

 

Nine young men, listed on this monument,

were never to return home to live out a full life.

 

 

With their deaths,

a generation of young men were lost. 

 

 

 

All but Pvt Eddie Sbrusch, who was lost at sea,

were brought back home,

 to rest here.....

A special note:

Every year there is a wonderful Veteran's Day Remembrance

held in Praha Texas.

 

It is very special,

including a fly-over of vintage aircraft

 with a flower drop over the cemetery.

Old versus New....for Friday Fences

 

A "must check-back" next year....

after a long hot summer

in Texas....

to see if the new fence

 grays to match the old cedar post.

Halloween Perfect....on Monday's Country Back Roads

 

Nothing like heavy morning fog on the prairie, to create a

 Spookish Tree
