There are times that our ranch name just fits and this weather is one of those times. Today's high is to be around 79 degrees. BEAUTIFUL!! The lawn is mowed, the animals are happy, flowers are blooming, bees are buzzing, and the birds are singing. Tomorrow is another story---the predicted high is 54 degrees! Here we go again. We are greatful that we will be getting some rain with the temperature drop. No snow but the weatherman said high winds and hail are possible.
The one thing about a ranch is that there is always something to do, no matter what the weather brings. Nice weather brings outside chores and plenty of them, but when Mother Nature gets busy there is plenty to do on the inside too.
We visited Caddo Lake in far east Texas over spring break. We stayed in the town of Uncertain. Yes, that is the name of the town and not a typo. We relaxed, toured the lake on the last wooden steam-powered paddle boat, played all kinds of games, canoed, geocached, and just generally recharged ourselves. Caddo Lake is beautiful and I highly recommend it. It is close to Jefferson where all the antique shops are located. We took a day just to stroll around and look at all the pretties.
Ray is still working hard at our church which limits the hours and energy he has to get things done at home. On top of it all, Chris and he are fixing up a 1962 Corvair convertible. This will be Chris' permanent car, but Chris just informed Dad that he would like to use it for prom---on May 4th---less than a month away. It may require a miracle to get it done.
Nina works at Slay Memorial Funeral Center and Aubrey Florist. She is working more and loving it. She has worked on the floral side for a while, but is now being trained on the funeral home side.
Well, remember to enjoy your family and friends, laugh alot, and thank God for your blessings! We hope everyone is staying safe and sound with all these wild weather patterns.
