Downtown Whitewright!

Ben and I were sitting in the truck outside a machinist shop in downtown Whitewright, and he took these photos...

Too cute that there would be a vintage car sitting there to captured on film... I mean memory card!

I love all the old buildings in these country towns that are still in fair repair!

Country couple...

Pear blooms on the S.'s land where the guys were taking apart an old shed...

And dewberry! The promise of these flowers is very sweet...

Elisha's New Glasses and More Progress on the New Shop...

Elisha's new rimless glasses!
 
Deborah is very serious about practising piano for her new teacher...

 

It's not just poles anymore!

Great job guys!

Much Belated post...

Our newest batch of layer chicks arrived!


Junipers in seed

The green is beginning to spring forth!
Liquid gold sky
Hospitable friends! We had a lovely time at the H.'s house!

Farewell for now...

Gourmet at Home...

If any exclusive restauraunts are looking for a chef, I highly recommend Elizabeth M. Wahlquist, the up-and-coming James Beard finalist...
Seriously, Beth created a DELICIOUS and FANTASTIC gourmet meal that was a treat for the eyes, nose, and mouth, in the best gourmet tradition. Cheers, Beth -- keep it up! :)

Sunday...

  "The hay appeareth, and the tender grass sheweth itself, and herbs of the mountains are gathered. The lambs are for thy clothing, and the goats are the price of the field." Proverbs 27:25-26


Little "Timmy Tiptoes"
 
Dressed up juice : ) 

One of the first spring "flowers"!
 
Family Walk!
(The guys are pretending to be camera shy)

One thing is cute about Stephen--he doesn't "ham it up" for the camera--maybe because he's so used to being in its focus!

A new (and interesting) sign!

"The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge." Psalms 19:1-2

Art
Though the guys have been tremendous about fixing every kind of thing--weedeaters, chainsaws, edgers, compressors, go-carts, golf carts, shredders, tillers, mowers, and trucks--I still had my foolish doubts when the guys bought this tractor a few months ago.
To the extent of writing in my journal... "the guys got home with the tractor when it was dark, and were so excited about that non-working hulk of statuary that they weren't eager for their dinner which was late by two hours..."
I shouldn't have doubted.
The tractor is making itself heard and useful.

Farewell!
