From the Ranch: bird watching Texas

The words here are about my life as the wife of a now retired Soldier. I live on a small ranch in Texas, and my experiences here craft the words I use to express my life. The sacrifices, challenges, and the deeply satisfying rewards of being the wife of such a man influence them as well. I live in a beautiful and peaceful place, and it is great solace and comfort when I face life and the challenges of a complicated and stressed world. So I have titled my writings "From the Ranch."

Sometimes Life is Hard for All of Us

No matter how difficult the life situation, when I need comfort, all I have to do at Soldier's Heart, is go outside and be still. There is a beautiful Bible verse that says, "Be still and know that I am God." The birds here offer a constant concert to the Lord; they sing of his love, power, and amazing grace. We live in a corridor that goes from the top of the planet to the bottom, animals of all kinds, including birds and butterflies travel this space, and many live here at the ranch year round.

OK, Guess!

There are two! One is in the upper right corner. See it now?

These are female cardinals.

Randy is Home, and We Are Enjoying Spring!

I have been pointing out the blue birds to him. They are in the backyard every day playing in the water, and sitting on the utility pole. The female is always with this little blue bird.
