Wheelock, TX

I call this photo "Fence Whiskers" because it looks like a bunch of old men neding a shave badly. These pickets could be from the 1800's. I believe they are cypress . Notice the old windmill in the background. Not many left like it. They still manufacture them however in San Angelo Tx. at the old The Aeromotor company.

I actualy took the day off today and stayed at home and worked in the garden all day. Later in the afternoon my wife called across the yard and said " You just gotta come look at this!"

She found this amazing moth in one of our flowerbeds. We have seen a lot of wonderful wildlife here, but never one of these!. Just more proof that there is a Creator. This work of art wasn't an accident! To give you an idea of it's size that is my wife's hand with a gardening glove holding the moth.

Our family used to have a place in southern Colorado to escape to. We long since sold it and the memory was brought back for just a few hours early this morning here in central Texas. It was truly like waking up and having a dejavu of those great times in the high country. The elevation however of the spot in this photo is somewhere around 400 feet above sea level....not exactly the high country! lol Anyway the feeling was there. The snow was gone by mid afternoon. So Sad!

Today out of nowhere, and for about 10 minutes we found ourselves surrounded by snow flurries. You would have thought you were somewhere in northern Alaska instead of Robertson County Texas! It was almost difficult to even see. And this little storm left as suddenly as it came in. This event certainly lived up to all the folklore about Texas weather!

In like a lion...out like a lamb. In just a matter of an hour you would have never known a snow storm had just passed through the area.

After a 2 year drought central Texas has finally received about two months worth of good moisture. As a result the hay cutters in our area were really getting overloaded. To make things tougher the rains have been sporadic and when you cut hay you need a couple of good dry days before you can rake and bail it. If it rains too much on the fresh cut hay Coastal Bermuda Hay ....it can be ruined. Nothing is sweeter than the smell of fresh hay. It is almost intoxicating. The cows love it too!
