Along the Road: Town and Country

 

VW Beetle Downtown Lindsborg

Gazebo on the edge of town


"Tree Man" in a Cemetery
(Can you see him?)

Peony buds
Esping barn and chickens

Christine drove and I snapped photos. We went out to two different cemeteries to visit the graves of friends who have gone before us then we drove to the
Esping farm to get some delicious goat milk.

Again...pretty pictures. You have the eye of an artist! Love the "chickens picture" and want to the the peonies in full bloom. I confess, I don't see the man, well maybe, but he is awfully ugly! Have a great day!

Thanks Rachelle!
I can't seem to draw much or paint, so thanks for saying that!
The Ugly tree-man.
Yeah, he's hard to see. It's more of a glance-and-see idea, but the first knot is his mouth and pig snout type nose. His eyes are above that... I'm not sure what the extra hole in his head is about.
I guess it is part of a hat?
It's perfectly fine if you still can't see him. Maybe my imagination is too fired up on this one!

Great shots, one and all. When I saw the shot you called "Tree Man", I saw a horse face. I like the chickens running out of the shot.

Wanna Play “Stink Pink”?

Are you familiar with the game? I hadn’t heard of it until several years ago when we were building a house on Main Street. It was the house we were going to live in for the rest of our lives and the house my Dad helped in so many ways including laying 2,600 sq. ft. of slate tile, but that’s another story. I was speaking of “Stink Pink”. When we were building Main Street house, a man named Bob was working with Mike and taught us the game. We put in some long hours and this was one of the pastimes as we worked! The rule is to give a hint that describes two rhyming words. If the words have one syllable, you say “It’s a “Stink Pink“. Two syllables- “Stinky Pinky” Three syllables- Stinkity Pinkity” and so on! An example of a “Stink Pink” is: A Large Feline. (A. Fat Cat) An example of a “Stinky Pinky” is: A Comic Cottontail. (A. Funny Bunny) A “Stinkity Pinkity” hint is: Okay, I’ve drawn a blank! Could someone come up with a three syllable “Stinkity Pinkity”? So you get the idea. The words…

Maverick Molecules?

Here is the quote by R.C. Sproul that I was looking for. It is from the book CHOSEN BY GOD."For if there is one maverick molecule, it would mean that God is not sovereign. If God is not sovereign, then God is not God." and "If there is any element of the universe that is outside of his authority, then he no longer is God over all. In other words, sovereignty belongs to deity. Sovereignty is a natural attribute of the Creator. God owns what he makes, and he rules what he owns."

My little Mama

Johnny and "Bubbles"
My little Mama My birth-giving Mama You go before me Braver frailty leading on And I wonder at being knit together in your womb At loving hands attending my helplessness And you laboring at leaving Laboring at dying Not knowing how because you have always lived Full and free My lovely Mama  I love you always

My Mama went to be with the Lord on February 9, 2011 She was able to be at home when she died. I am blessed to have been beside her with Mike and Dad at her passing and to have seen her trust her soul to the Lord.
