"Grab A Falling Star And Hang On"

My Red Wood tree has lost it's sense of buds. Pink buds coming right out of the trunk of the tree. 4-30-2018 Perryton, TX

Another sign of “world gone crazy” is showing up on my Red Wood tree today. This tree used to bloom all around the circle of limbs from tip to toe. It was a beautiful sight indeed. Now it has stopped blooming on the limbs and started blooming from the trunk. It is embarrassing to see this big tree with just a few pink blossoms scattered sparsely at the bottom of a few limbs where they grow out of the trunk of the tree. I'm thinking about cutting it down, although it is 45 years old. I guess everything loses it's beauty with times. My neighbor's big pecan tree is not pretty anymore either. They have always kept it trimmed every few years, but it is a shabby-looking thing now. Neither does it produce the great harvest of delicious pecans it used to. Oh! My. I wish things were like they used to be. I wish I didn't have to sit down every time I rake a small trash basket full of dead leaves. It takes me two hours to do what I used to do in fifteen minutes. I am proud though, that I've got most of the leaves off of both my front and back yards. Slowly, but surely, I'm making headway. I am now anxiously awaiting for rain. The weed and feed needs to be wet down.

I enjoyed a great time at the Center today. I visited with an old friend whom I hadn't seen in a long time. She always tickles my heart, and I was needing that today. She is the featured artist at the Center this month. I love, love her work. She puts her humorous touch to every serious art piece she does. The horses on one of her paintings was absolutely smiling. I couldn't quit trying to see what they were smiling at. My curiosity was aroused. Was this a true horse smile, or was it the way the artist wanted the horses to appear? Oh! That lovely feeling of wonder. The deer in another piece were no doubt, posing with pride to be having their bodies painted on canvas by an edited artist who takes away everything but the best from the image. Pretty dear with shinning horns, and serious eye shadow. Although bucks are not suppose to wear make up, these did, I swear. There were some portraits that made you feel like speaking to. Pam Wolf, I like your works of art. I am ready to see more of it.

 

I had a sleepless night last night. That is why I'm so excited about this art. It made me forget. Just before I went to bed I saw on face book a picture of a young boy, probably twelve years old, lying between his parent's graves on a blanket and a pillow. This was in Syria. The graves looked like he may have dug them himself, and he had rounded a mound of dirt over them. He had some kind of post sticking out of the ground for a headstone. I almost lost it. I don't know if this child's parents died from poison gas the Syrian Dictator used, or if they were killed from the missile strike that several countries used against the evil Dictator. I do believe it was one or the other. I could not get it off my mind. About 1:30 a m I got up to use the bathroom. An extra bright moon was shinning in my bathroom window. I took a picture of it, but it didn't help me to go to sleep. Finally I got up and turned on my computer. I wanted to see that picture again, but then I thought no way. I must get this off my mind. I went back to bed, but I actually thought I would never feel good again. Sometime in the early morning hour I drifted off to sleep. When I awoke this morning, I had forgotten a little, but after going to the Center and seeing the interesting art work I forgot completely. I think God let this happen to me so that I could get relief, but I feel like He wants me to remember again after I get refreshed. Satan would love to rob me entirely of my victory, but I will continue to fight him until he has to give up. I prayed for that child last night, and all the other poor children of Syria. I must cry sometimes, and laugh other times. Let us share both needed, God given, expressions of joy and sorrow. 

God Bless

" Beauty Is What We Let It Be"

This tree is growing in this position. It has not been altered by man. 4-29-2018 Perryton, TX

As I entered church this morning I had to stop and take a picture of this poor needle tree growing with it's backbone to the ground. I don't know the name of the tree, or why it is growing along the top of the ground, but it sure is questionable. It looks real lively with long green needles. It could serve as an encouragement to some who have a bad case of osteoporosis or other types of deformities. The tree is beautiful even though it's different. No one wants to cut it down or neglect to care for it. The tree is the most interesting shrub in our entire church yard. 

The church services were good today as usual. It's always a joy to get lifted up when the week as been bad for you. Of course Satan was there, but he didn't get very far with me. I put him on the run, although I know he will be back. We are as strong as our faith is, and that is why the old guy can't hang around long. We enjoyed a duet this morning by two lovely ladies from our church. The entire congregation seemed happy, and looked very nice.

I came home to eat lunch today since I'm sticking closely to my diet. It makes the evenings longer, but I have to give up something if I expect to reach my goal for weight loss in a couple more weeks. So far I have done well with it. I am concerned about tomorrow since I cannot miss the luncheon at the Center. Chicken spaghetti is on the menu, and it is a favorite pasta of mine. It is certainly not one of my diet choices. Vegetable blend is o k, but the delicious pineapple cake is not. I will be going mostly to hear an old friend talk about her art which is on display at the Center now. I do love her art, and I'm excited to get to hear her talk. She has a special talent for humorous speech, and her art work reflects that talent. She moved away from Perryton several years ago, and I'm just now learning she is an artist. She is also a retired Registered Nurse.

As far as the news I'm wondering how the thousands of immigrants who have finally reached our border line is going to turn out. This is a huge tug-of-war for our President. It seems impossible that this kind of invasion was allowed by anyone in our government. Yet it had to have been encouraged, and managed by the left wing Democrats. The illegal army of immigrants are pleading amnesty. Something that only Trump haters would attempt. The biased news media are making sure that a lot of pitiful looking pictures of babies in parents arms are dominating the news. I firmly stand with our President in saying “do not let even one of them into our country.” Let the Trump hatters march them all back to their own countries. I do not believe it was the immigrants who wanted to come here. It was the Trump hatters who have tried every trick in the deck to over throw our country. Let any innocent blood be on their hands.

God Bless

"Hope Never Dies When You Serve God"

This cherry tree looks encouraging this year. 10 years old and has never produced cherries yet. 4-28-2018 Perryton, TX

 

I am posting a picture of my greatest joy today. This cherry tree is ten years old, and has never produced cherries yet. It has never had this many blooms before so hopefully I will have cherries this year. It is suppose to be a rare type of fruit, and I'm anxious to see if it produces. It bloomed a way past the last freeze so there should be cherries this year. I hope I can can a hundred jars of cherries from it. We all love cherry pie. It's about my last hope for fruit this year since we had a very late freeze.

I was able to do a lot of work in my yard today. I raked the front yard, and spread weed and feed on it. For my age it was a hard job for me. I still have to do the back yard, but at least I'm getting there. I do all of my yard work except the mowing. So thankful that I still have good health. My house seems real big when I start running the sweeper, but after resting a lot in between rooms I can get it all done in about an hour. Since I live alone I can usually keep my house clean for quite awhile. However, that doesn't make the cleaning easier when I do start up the sweeper. It just makes me feel so good to have my house all clean, even though that is mostly just when I'm having company.

Two of my friends left Friday morning for a trip to several states to view a lot of interesting places. One of these friends is from another city, and she came early Thursday to visit with me before she left on the trip. She took all three of us out to eat that night, and there we met several other friends who made our evening most perfect. I am not a traveler so I didn't want to go on the 11 day trip. My heart is with them all the way. I am preparing food for when they get back. I think my out-of-town friend will stay with me a couple of nights. I am sorry I have missed doing my blog for a few days, but there just Isn't time to do blogs while I am entertaining friends. My life needs contact with friends both on my blogs, and in person. I'm so thankful for everyone's understanding of my needs. I will be getting back to my views on the world matters before long. I am loaded with opinions that I can't wait to share. I am still rejoicing about the great job our President is doing. Although he is facing opposition more, and more each day. I always find time each day to hold him up in my prayers. Let me say again, this world is evil beyond anything any of us has ever seen. I can't believe some of the destructive things that are happening to some of our most Godly people. Many of these evil people will be doomed to live in misery forever. I know they deserve it, but I still have sympathy for them, something they don't have.

God Bless
