We arrived at the ranch late Saturday afternoon.
I have to say that driving the big white truck is a lot of work!
So thankful it's only a two hour trip!
Makes me think that a longer drive to Galveston may not be on the calendar for June.
But then I would have my Chevrolet Equinox which is such an easy vehichle to drive.
For whatever reason, the last trip here and now this one has been hard. We stopped in Hillsboro for Whatabugers and onion rings and then drove on in.
It's all decked out in spring greenery.
I was so exhausted that once I put up the perishables, I brought food from home to last a week, I crawled into the girl bunk for a blessed nap!
This morning I took a tour of the front yard and all the gorgeous flowers!
First time we've seen this pretty flower here.
I planted some wildflower seeds in past years and wonder if this might be one of them.
Dandlions are important for the bees!
We have a bumper crop!
I love the Indian paintbrushes.
Our rose garden is beautful and I shall work in it tomorrow.
Weeding and treating for fire ants!
I plan on cutting a couple of huge bouquets to enjoy this week.
We had our coffee on the front deck and listened to the birdsongs.
Remmie and Rugar came up to see me and I had meaty bones I had saved for them!
I love these dogs!
Louis Dean had a camfire burning this morning and has kept it going all day.
It's good to be back in the country!
I have been working on my book this afternoon and am still having problems with my mouse.
Thankfully when I restarted the computer, it is now working.
Maybe I need to buy a new one.
My plans this week are to write and write some more.
I had started chapter 39 but I deleted it and started again.
Amber advised me to tell my story in as few words as possible and that is going to help me write the next few chapters. Happy days are ahead in my book when I reach 2005!
Thank you, all my dear blogging friends, for reading my words and encouraging my heart.
You are such blessings to me.

E joy working on your book! Beautiful wildflowers and beautiful wild country!
Enjoy not e joy! Lol
PS-- Love seeing those gorgeous big dogs!
You are surrounded by beauty there. Just love all the wildflowers. I hope your trip back home will be less exhausting.
I love it when you go to the country! I can just feel the joy in your heart and spring in your step, even though I know the trip was exhausting for you...hopefully you will stay there long enough to rest up and just relax. The flowers are so lovely! And those doggies are so sweet. Big, but sweet! :) And your book is amazing. I look forward to reading each new chapter and hate to see it end. It is such an amazing story of how God has brought you through so much and to see you now...that is such a comfort to me to know your story does have a happy "ending"...and it's still going on! Enjoy your time in the country. Just relax and BE (or should I say "BEE"? LOL.)
Glad you made the trip! Driving gets harder and harder to do as we age...I think that's why God invented the Lounger...lol
Have fun!
hugs
Donna
The wildflowers in Texas are just so pretty....so glad you could visit during such lovely weather...enjoy this time and stay safe driving
I am thankful that you were able to drive to the country again. I pray that the trips will get easier for you. I know you would hate not being able to go.
Linda, I think the purple flower is larkspur. It's a self-seeding annual. Might be part of the same family as delphinium.
Linda, I'm not sure about the advice to write as little words as possible. I think your style is perfect. If you didn't use all the words in your heart about your story, it wouldn't be the same.
Keep sharing my dear, keep writing. We love you.
Patricia
Love you Linda and I eagerly await for your blog posts.
I'm so glad you are at the ranch and enjoying God's creation, the beauty of the flowers and those delightful critters too.
Enjoy and decompress. Bless you for driving that Big Truck..you can do it.. I love that your sweet Knight in Shining Overalls keeps the fires burning!!
Rest and enjoy
Sue
Hope you all got to see more of the bluebonnets on your trip through the Hillsboro area. I know it feels good to get out of the city and into the country side where everything is blooming and full of green. Hope you get to make that trip to Galveston soon...
Oh the country is your happy place. What fun to walk with you through all the flowers, adorable dogs and love that Louis Dean keeps the fire going all day!! Driving is a challenge. I remember driving our daughter's big truck one time and it is very different from my Nissan Sentra HaHa. You are amazing!! Looking forward to the happier days of your book. Sending love and prayers.
It all looks so beautiful out there.
Enjoy your week.
What a beautiful and peaceful way to welcome spring! The flowers and fresh country air must make all the hard work worth it.
I also would prefer more words to less in your story. I look forward to reading each upcoming chapter.
Hey girl, hope you and LD are having a good one! I love your pictures, especially of the MOPS! Looking forward to more of your book! Love ya, Trudy
