Rest?

(Feel Free to Click any photo for an enlarged view)

God had Blessed Our Travels
We are home again, safe and sound~
Threatening skies did not deter us as we drove past the pines,
over the warm waters of late summer,

past farm ponds~
quickly greening from cooling fall air~
and field after field of corn,
the sky continues to darken~
suddenly, miles have passed~
the sky brightens over the round hay bales
drying on green, green fields.
They must have had rain~
The horses were already having their supper~
as we slowed down past the grove
of Black Walnut trees~
everywhere, there were more~
to the East~
the West~
the South~
of our daughter's home~
Black Walnut Trees~
Pine, large pine~
Oak, virgin Oak~
hundreds of years old~
and
Trumpet Vine of orange, red and yellow hues~
One for me and one for you~
climbing profusely up the grain shed~
smack in the midst of the horses playground.
So heavy are the vine~
that the roof is showing signs of distress.
I will fix the roof, he says,
But oh, be careful of the Trumpets!, she declares.
Whatchadoin? Austin's Windy horse wonders~
And then there is a 'pony' of a different kind~
Just shortened again a week prior~
So as not to sit on her locks~
And a congregation of turkeys~
ten little ones and Mom and Pop~
spiking the curiosity of the horses.
A mom showing her little one his picture~
Curious fella approves Mom's catch of himself~
Little brother feeds sisters
Sophie and Cocoa~
while his Windy looks on~
Big brother Christopher can't decide~
trucks or hoops~
Ah, Trucks it is!
Not a drop of rain~
But mountains of fun!

Grandma and Grandpa return home
ready for another week that is already half past~
Grandpa has already got plans for his new welder!
Of course! There is Always another project going on~
Syrus Lee is so happy to see us home again~
and has news!
There are kittens in the barn again!
3 of them have been spotted~
But now to tame the feline!
It's been such a busy time~
We never seem to rest~
Even when away for a short time~
We never seem to rest~

It does not matter~
We have been greatly blessed!

And~

BlessYourHeart

It is so nice to visit family. I loved the trip, glad you took us along. I am sure that lady gets some good shots with that camera, WOW! Professionals!!! shucks.
Loved the pictures of the kids and horses.

What a beautiful smile on Si. His picture pops up often and brings a smile. I love it where he put the toad to sleep out at the cabin, he is so intense in the picture.

Of course we have a great picture of you, too and the one of Bill smiling or laughing big, as he sits here in the motor home. I see these every day, we enjoyed you guys so much.
Love from NC
Sherry & jack

Oh, I just drug my welder out. All I can do is stick welding rods, but I fimally got some 1/2 nuts welded to 1/2 rebar to drive into the corners of these Car/RV ports.

(about a week and 1/2 ago, we got a half hour's worth of rain - enough to wet the ground at least. it quickly dried up again... still over 100 each day here...)
