Monarch Migration

October 6, 2022 By Karen Witemeyer

One of my favorite things about fall is the butterfly migration that passes through Texas on its way to Mexico for the winter. I love butterflies. They are so delicate and colorful.

I can remember years past when we had to slow our … [Read more...]

September 22, 2022 By Cara Putman

Life in pictures

November 16, 2021 By Tamera Alexander

Do you take a lot of pictures? I do. I save a ton of pictures sent to me too. Aren't we grateful we live in a day and age where we have the ability to snap so many precious moments of life for safekeeping? Think about how much more we might have known about the past if our ancestors could have taken pictures of their lives so readily. So here we go... In no certain order, these are … [Read more...]
