Tim's Birthday

Happy 14th Birthday TIM

My grandson, Timothy Bowman, turns 14 today.  He is a wonderful young man and his grandpa would be very proud of him.  They were down last week and he really took good care of me.  One morning he  helped with put away the chairs and cleaned up the table after we had breakfast on the deck. He opened doors for me several times without having to be asked and I think he will make some young woman a fine husband--so watch out girls!

The temps have changed quiet a bit here in the Wilderness.  The air is much cooler than it has been.  A nice breeze has been blowing.  This morning while out walking( with Molly at my feet) I could here the crickets and frogs.  And the birds were just singing like you would not believe.  The Wilderness is alive once again with not only music but color.  That rain (storm) we got the other morning made all the trees/plants come alive.

Its great to be out in the Wilderness just wondering around-- no cares nor problems to be concerned
about all is well and that's how it should be. 

September 1st the photo club will be going to Clinton, AR to the Chuck Wagon Races--See you there. 

Rain

Our Wilderness is "happy" today because of the little bit of rain we got yesterday afternoon.  We had to make a trip to Hamburg and got rained on just a little bit before we returned but when we returned and saw that it had sprinkled even just a little We Were So Happy!  The trees and flowers look so pretty today because of the rain.  I wish we could receive more just so the trees would not die.  God has a way of taking care of the trees and I'm so glad he planned it that way--when he build this earth--when trees are under a lot of stress they can shut themselves down; sure, some will die that's nature but not all. That's one reason I know there is a God--Man could not do such a thing.

We will he headed to the lake this morning (to meet our children) leaving Bailey in charge.  We will be back early because they only have 3 days and they have a lot to do in LR.  So it will be another "run-up and run-back--we never get to stay long anymore.

Hope you have a great day in the Wilderness!  Enjoy

Another day on the farm

Hey today's a great day!  We just might get a little rain; and, we are so happy about that.  The Wilderness is really dry and everything has to be watered daily.  I try to keep water in the birdbaths just so the birds wont leave.  The deer have been eating everything in sight including the apples.  We pick up all the apples we can and move them to be back so hopefully the deer will eat them and leave our apple tree and garden alone.  It seems to be working. 


I've been working on my photos from Ireland and will try to post some here so you can get a look at what it really looks like there--it's really beautiful and really green.  It rains at least once a day.  Wish they would share the rain.

Tomorrow I will be going to see the doctor hopefully for the last time with my hand.  It is doing so much better.  Its hard to believe where I've come from to now-there were times I didn't think I would ever be able to do some of the things I like to do like playing the piano.  I still have a hard time with a camera and a tripod but I'm getting there.  I know that I will have to continue my exercises for a long time yet but I am impressed with my improvement even if the doc or anyone else might not me.  Thanks for all the prayers. 

See you in the Wilderness! ! !  Hopefully it will rain.

Ireland Trip

I'm off to Ireland.  I'm really looking forward to this.  Hopefully, when I return my hand will be in much better shape and I can get on with my life.  I'm so tired of not being able to do things.  I can't really use my camera-- there is to many buttons plus the tripod--its hard to get everything set up.

I can't wait to get back into the wilderness.  The deer have come back and baby squirrels have been playing around the yard and eating tons of birdseed.  We have baby birds in our tomatoes plants and someone dropped off two 6-week old puppies--So I have lots I could be taking photos of if I could just get my hand to work, but; hey, I am typing and I could not do that till a couple of weeks ago so who knows what I will be doing in two weeks.  See ya in the Wilderness.

Happy 4th of July

Here's wishing you a happy 4th.

Return to the mill

Today I went to the Doctor and said to remove my cast and start exercising my arm.  Well this should do it.  I'm not sure I ready to remove it--it became a comfort thing to me.  At least if people hit it it didn't hurt so bad.  Last week I was in LasVagas and was thankful I had my cast on--there was lots of people there.  We had to attend a trade show.    I took very few photos but when I had the camera I sure did enjoy my self.  So maybe it wont be long till I'll be back to where I can shoot photos again.  Hang in there and look for things to shoot even though its so Hot!  See you soon in the Wilderness.

As of 5-24-12 I broke my lelt hand and will be unable to blog.  See you in July.
