Johnson Creek Bridge Link Park Trail |
I need
to apologize to my friends and family who have wondered if I
disappeared. I flew up to Wisconsin to get our son. We took a road
trip back to Texas, and once we got here we have been so busy I have
not updated these wonderful folks on how we are doing.
Hey, we made
it!
|
"Pallid Spiny Soft-Shelled Turtles" Hey Dad, wait up! |
Here in
Blogland you did not know I was gone, because I wrote up some posts
to publish while I was gone. I am such a sneaky dog.

Good Ol' "Painted Turtle" |
A big
THANK YOU out to the folks who let us stay with them, and blessed
our socks off.
"Dear S" let our son stay with them, so he could finish out his senior year in Wisconsin, Wow!
"Dear N"
shared her grandmother's embroidered quilt with me, and sent me home
with fresh Rosemary.
I know, no photos! Tsk, tsk, tsk.
"Dear
D" and crew got us all rested up for the trip back.
Those of
you who showered us with hugs and good wishes a big virtual hug back
to you.

Why does this turtle have moss on his shell? That cannot be healthy. Can you see the fish? |
It is
crazy getting another young man settled into our Texas place.
Furniture, and job hunting, and goofing off, woohoo!
|
"White Egret" These guys are all over the place, even Dallas. Dear J this one is for you. |
Little
Miss has started joining me on my morning walk.
|
Morning light over the creek. Definitely not the desert. |
We have
a set of three parks near us which are really two joined by a
"linear" park that is a narrow strip alongside a highway
through a nature reserve. It is nicely done with signs, benches, and
bubblers. What an ingenious way to keep the wildlife safe while
still letting people enjoy it. My knee loves the smooth pavement,
and there are loads of bicyclists, joggers, and dog walkers enjoying it also.
|
Over a dozen different wildflowers are blooming in the prairie portion right now. This grass is "blooming" with dew. |
It is
our little bit of peace and quiet before our home really starts
hopping.
|
The second bridge goes over a wetland area that feels like a different world. |
This
post is also for those folks who think we moved to the desert. See,
we have woods, wetlands, and prairie.
They are even all in this
one trail!
|
This tree is even bigger than our Weeping Willow in Wisconsin. Go ahead and say that five times really fast! |
A little
beforehand notice, I will be switching back to my previous blog. In
the next post I will be sharing a direct link and fun vintage
goodie.
Thank
You All, Love and Hugs!
