These images were taken at the Sauer Beckmann Farm in Stonewall, Texas. This is a living history farm. The Sauer Beckmann’s were president Lyndon Johnson’s neighbors during the days of the Texas White House. These were days when you raised and grew your own food and did many chores manually. Men, women, children, and families worked hard together, praised God for their bounty of harvest, and did not sit around relying on handouts as much of modern America today. Proverbs 14:23 In all toil there is profit, but mere talk tends only to poverty.

Jolly full of cheer.

Sleigh, presents, pulled by reindeer.

Happy kids each year.

Cipher- A Haiku

In front of your eyes

Mystery under your nose

Code you’ll never know.

Peppers- A Haiku

Fiery heat waits

Salivating mouth and tongue

Sweat beads on your head.

To capture this macro photo I had to reach under the web and use my camera case

as a background, because the spider would not focus due to all the other plants, sky, etc.

I find these spiders fascinating because they look as if they are smiling.

Thanksgiving – A Haiku

A bountiful crop

For some have nothing at all

For this we give thanks.

Election 2016 – A Haiku

To the polls for change

A sea of red washed ashore

Stop whining snowflakes.
