Rain, rain, don’t run away. Come again another day!

With Mother’s Day fast approaching, I almost dread it the time of year. My mom was killed by her boyfriend when I was like 26, which is over 30 years ago, and it feels like it was just yesterday when I think about it.

Beautiful Olney! My return to town last week was a feast for my eyes. Green, green everywhere! That big rain really perked up the grass and trees. The closer I got to Olney; the scenery grew more vibrant with dozens of shades of that soothing color green. Lovely! Ponds are now full, so ranchers have heaved a sigh of relief; water hauling is now out of the picture. But other parts of our great state of Texas and many areas of the nation are suffering from a severe drought and the constant threat of wildfires. So, please put those areas on your prayer list and pray for rain!

Pretty stoked to be going camping again after such a long hiatus from something I grew up loving to do. I have recently met a lady who is very special to me and one of her biggest passions is camping and the other is worshipping God; that’s a win-win in my book!

Tumbling Tumbleweeds! T’is the season for gusting winds and blowing dust, or as we call it in west Texas, “sandstorm.” Now those were pretty vicious occurrences in my old stomping grounds of far West Texas. The wall of red could be seen as one of those sandstorms approached and then all would be dark as it hit, and for days the sun couldn’t be seen. Sometimes it was difficult to see across the street. Breathing normally was a bit difficult and playing outside was not happening! Rain is often sporatic in the Spring so everything dries up and the dry dirt joins the wind as it cuts through the landscape and pollutes the air.
