Music on the Water

"An oarman can only tell, the tip of the oars when it tips those waves, the music it makes on the water. Oh, no wonder the Spirit of God moved on the water first."

Queenie was helping to watch for rocks.

 These ducks were so pretty!

 We saw three eagles while canoeing, but I only got a picture of this immature one.

Queenie needed to stop for a few minutes.....

Wonder who lives here?

Our destination......Yordy's Bridge

Waiting for the truck to come.

At last,  our pickup man arrived and helped us load the canoes.

Thanks Nathan!

Honeysuckles and Happiness

Oh, if we would only get quiet and alone with God, how the dew would strengthen us, take the wilt out of us and make us fresh. Did you ever go into a rose garden early of a morning? Did you ever go into a honeysuckle bed early of a morning? And the whole air is just bathed with fragrance. Oh, how I love that. Down in my part of the country in Indiana, I'd get up early and turn on the switch key and get out somewhere where the locust, or the honeysuckles, when they're blooming. And I just set by the side of the road and just, oh, how I just love to smell it, and to look at it, and see those little honeysuckles standing up.

We are blessed with honeysuckles all over the place and I love to smell them!  

Here's what happens when you fly into a glass door and daze yourself.....It flew away after a little bit.

Each evening like clockwork these two geese come flying in from somcwhere.  They make a lot of noise just  a-honkin and a-honkin as they land in the field next to us.

These wild baby bunnies decided to leave the nest today.

Badminton anyone?

Feelin' Blue?

You can't feel blue when you're in the Bluegrass State....Kentucky!  There's always something to do!  From hillbilly bike rides to sittin' around and singing....we enjoy every moment of life.  Come along with us on another trip to Kentucky!

I guess my heart was on my ol' Kentucky home and I decorated our mantel with a Kentucky theme before we left.

Mom and dad have a lot of bird friends!

 Do you see the hummingbird to the left?!!

The scenery around my ol' Kentucky home.

Sittin' around and singin' is always enjoyable!

Ridin' on the 4-wheeler down to the 'holler'

Swingin' out above the 'holler'!  Hang on Faith!

Billy took us to this country road for hillbilly bike ridin'.  He put the bikes on his truck and drove up to the top of the road and it was downhill ridin' all the way!  

When you don't have enough bikes to go around, you just have to make do! 

There were deserted old farms with old trucks and tractors sittin' around in the weeds.  A 'crick' ran all along the side and a doe even joined us at one point!

See the bird in the bush?

Honey Locust tree with giant thorns!  Ouch!

Thanks Billy and Lavonne for a great afternoon!

Did you ever hear of anyone eating the peel with the orange?

Yep...Billy does.

My talented mom has started yet another beautiful quilt!

 This is where I went to school through 4th grade.  Needless to say it's not being used anymore since they started busing everyone into town to school.  Country schools were the best!

 Here comes mom and dad home from driving the kids to school.

We went to a giant flea market while we were visiting, and our pictures got put in the local paper!

While we were gone, my lettuce and onions had come up!

  "So happy to be down here in this lovely state of Kentucky again, my home state. No matter where you ever go, there's something about where you were born and raised that always makes you long to get back."

Did your blues slip away as you joined us on our trip?

See ya'll!
