Heading to Justin

Last week, I was headed to Justin and I did what I do when I head anywhere, take a road that may not always be taken and see what I can find along the way. Never steers me wrong. For some reason this year, I am totally intrigued by round bales just sitting in large open fields. Rarely, do I enjoy pictures of myself but I would love to just get out there and have some pictures taken of me (or take pictures of others). What a beautiful back drop! The sunflowers make it even better!

To top it off, I found this old barn. We all know how much I love old barns (barns, windmills, old homes, the list goes on and on). I couldn’t help myself.

Texas Wheat Fields

8 Replies

Take a turn off the main road and enter into a world where you literally feel like you’re the only person there. It was just corn on one side, wheat on the other and me inbetween. The smell of rain was in the air. A storm was rolling in and you could just see the top of the wheat waving in the wind.
Oh, the beginning of the summer in Texas.

WW: Tornado’s and Reflection

Leave a reply

Usually, for Wordless Wednesday’s I show a few pictures from one of my recent travels. For this Wordless Wednesday, I thought it would be a good time for some reflection.

I’m sure we’ve all seen the devastation from the Oklahoma tornado’s by now. My heart aches every time I think about it – the families, friends, children, animals and memories that these folks will never forget. I also think about the devotion of those who have swooped in to help with recovery efforts and what they see through their eyes.

Then I think about the things I am thankful for – my family and friends, having a roof over my head, my life, my health, running and clean water. Material things are just material things. It’s the way a community / country comes together that is fascinating.

In honor of Wordless Wednesday, I encourage every one of us to look around and really take a good look at what we are thankful for and our everyday blessings. It’s sad that sometimes it takes a disaster for some of us to realize this but going forward, I hope we make every effort to count our blessings everyday and how quickly it can be taken away. I know I try.
