Fred is hunting in the Texas Hill Country this weekend. He's had some good luck and it looks like we'll have some meat in the freezer. I went out and sat this morning. Saw all my does, their fawns and some not legal bucks...

This little wren came and landed on my knee while I was sitting this morning and pretty much announced to the deer and the world that I was there by screaming at me, lol. I guess he didn't like me being there as I was interrupting his hunt for bugs!! Little brat. He did make me laugh as he was really quite vocal!!

As the fog lifted I watched these clouds roll across the sky, it was neat to watch!

Michael and I ran some errands in Victoria and I went into Kirklands. I'd never been in there and I wasn't too impressed but I did find this canvas. It reminded me of a farm I grew up near and that relatives live in...I thought about it and decided to get it. We don't have too many Christmas decorations and I liked this. I hope it's the only snow I see for a long while though, lol.

Hope y'all are having a great weekend!

Morning walk...

Jenny and I went for a walk this morning, it was absolutely beautiful outside...

Typical of what I see every day, white tails and deer butts!!

Blue Blue skies...

Boing! Boing! She actually made it across the road in one leap!

This years fawn watching Jenny and I...I've taught Jenny not to chase deer and this youngster was testing her...Jenny behaved!

Wildflowers...

Looking back I spotted this gorgeous web catching the suns rays!

This immature red-tailed hawk has been stalking our chickens and so far he hasn't had a chicken dinner yet!

My favorite photo of the morning!!

It was a beautiful day here in South Texas!

Hope y'all have a great weekend!

Wow!!

Beautiful sunset from the High school in Goliad Texas....

SOOC (Straight Out Of the Camera)

Sometimes things just click...

I can count on one hand the number of animals that I've just clicked with over my life. There is a certain vibe, we are in tune to each other. It's hard to explain if you aren't an animal lover or have never had that type of relationship with an animal. Goodness knows I've had a lot of animals in my lifetime but very few that took up a large chunk of my heart, knew what I wanted before I even knew myself...it's hard for me to explain. My first horse Trixie that I lost when she was 10 due to kidney failure, she was my girl, she knew me and all I can say is I am thankful God blessed me with her. She taught me a lot and the memories I have of her I will always cherish...

Now another one has come into my life....

Jenny is one of these animals...She isn't perfect and she can be naughty at times (she got in the egg basket the other night and we had egg shells all over the house). But she knows me, she makes me laugh, she adores me and the feeling is mutual...She is my companion, my friend, she is there no questions asked. She's smart and is always trying to please, but she can also be stubborn and totally ignore me too...She has turned into Ms. Protector but she's not aggressive and she adores the kids. She's one of a kind and I feel so blessed to have her in my life!! Thank you God! She's my dog and I love her...
