While waiting this morning for the Cardinals, Woodpeckers, Chickadees, and Mockingbirds to wake up, today's sunrise peaks out and lights up a select group of fence row trees (and if look beyond, you see tree tops aglow as well). Pretty cool?

Is there not just something peaceful...about a reflecting sunset...on the simple architecture of the steeple...atop the Oak Ridge Baptist Church of Hudson Oaks, Texas?

Down by the boat docks this morning...after a big 4" rain...these guys all have their head underwater... that is except for the one guy that obviously has been hanging out with the marina dog too much...do ducks have ears?

Damn you, you ol' buzzards...sitting around, all perched in your tree like you're waiting for something dead to happen. Get a life! (instead)

The one (and only) good thing about West Texas blowing into town last night is the dust makes for a beautiful sunrise.

Something is peculiar about 77° and kids playing in the lake in the middle of January...even for the typically mild winters of North Texas.

It is well

Funny thing happened on the way to the church the other day.

It started with…oh wait, first a lead in: A typical Sunday morning routine of mine when driving to church is to plug my iPod (iPhone actually) to the truck stereo and get to singing with a playlist simply labeled “Sunday”. Of the hundred or so gospel/Christian music owned, the songs in this playlist are my favorites. This list numbers 24 songs as of today, and is populated with “standards of the faith” as much as it is with more contemporary songs that stir my spiritual soul.

Hang in there Dad!

Makes me wonder if Bluebirds really play "tag, you're it"

Leafless trees silhouetted against a sunrise or sunset do it to me every time. This, along with news from home gave some calm to the end of an emotional day...

That she is a stately (Post) Oak with a true stature of magnificance...even in the winter. And especially when seen standing in front of a beautiful sunrise glow.

Here's one reason I have for not doing personal trainers. Why is it, more times than not, these guys act like they have little time for this and something better awaits them elsewhere? All us poor plokes out here want to do is try to fit back into last summer's clothes....

"Yup...you guys are taking too long! I'm outta here! Go ahead and keep doing what your doing..."

From her previous owner, the Princess Zoey put on one of her sweaters tonight. She ran about with the other in her mouth, then settled down with it as a pillow. Ya know, I think I have a few fond memories I could do that with as well...good night Zoe! Sweet dreams!

Can this be an accidental, on-purpose coincidence? Scotch (along with the occasional Kahlua for merely the aroma most certainly) and books of garden design and photography...all on the same shelf. Can life be any grander?

The kitchen is where it usually begins

Only 3 weeks out of debt for having remodelled the master bedroom and bath, and now look what we’ve done. Cabinet missing, fur-down gone, wallpaper striped, popcorn off the ceiling, holes overhead still in need of patching, insulation everywhere, the smell of (sheet rock) joint compound in the air, ladders poised for service, and a hammer – you gotta have a hammer – on the counter.

It’s about getting re-acquainted with the banker all over again…and the unsettling disruption to my morning coffee routine. Continue reading

I heard that

How often is this spot-on? Not only in the terms of romance, but also in politics and nearly just about everything else in our day-to-day dealings:

With so much going on at daybreak - geese flying, fishermen fishing, the sun a rising, a chilly nip to the morning air - am I the only one that likes to, as the day awakens and a sunrise warms your face, plug in the headphones and listen to the "String Quintet In e Major: Minuet"? Oh yeah, see there, I figured as much....

I suppose there’s something admirable about a guy in a hurry breaking driving laws in rush to church…but why all that in front of me?

I'm still trying to find something wrong with this morning's sunrise, and I just can't...not even on this, a Friday the 13th
