Don't Get Me Started On Winter...



There's a lot of beauty in summer. But sadly, summer is coming to an end. There are a lot of things I am going to miss about being home during the summer. Like my fields of flowers. I sure am going to miss them. There are all sorts of different flowers there.







Check out the white spider, sitting in the middle of the next flower.








I am going to miss the hummingbirds.



And how they hover over the flowers.


I am going to miss the butterflies.





I am really going to miss the things I see at my pond. Like the Cat tails, and the strange looking grass that grows around the edge.




And I'm absolutely going to miss seeing Timmy, the turtle. I hope that he'll be alright over the winter. He's so cute! And I rescued him. I found him trying to cross the road around my neighborhood. I think I saved his life. He could have been hit by a car.




Just look at that cute little tail of his. I really think he loves his new home.



And let's not forget all the animals I see in my backyard. Like the deer. True, I will still see them out my window over winter.



And the many, many different birds. Speaking of birds, I found this feather, on the ground, from a Wild Turkey.



Oh, look! There goes those Turkeys. I sure will miss seeing them. Although, come to think of it, I will see them out my window this winter too. They are always wandering around my yard.




I sure will miss seeing my favorite squirrel, hanging in his tree, right outside my window, on a hot muggy day.


And my neighbors horses, they'll be keeping warm in their barn all winter.


But I am looking forward to fall. Fall brings out a lot of colors. Just look at the colors already, on the berries in my yard.



Come to think of it. May be I won't miss summer all that much, because Fall brings out a lot of beauty too.

But don't get me started on winter!

Eating in Texas

One of my favorite places to stop on my road trips is in Amarillo, TX. They have the best tourist trap there called, The Big Texan Steakhouse. Where if you can eat a 72 oz steak in under an hour... your meal is free! But believe me... that 72 oz steak is HUGE! I would not suggest trying to eat it. I'm quite sure it leaves you with one big stomach ache. 
Take a look at the outside of the place. How can you not be curious about this place? It looks so fun!
Not only is the outside fun, but check out the inside. It has a western style to it. With a huge fake cattle head hanging high on the wall. Not to meantion, western arcade games, a souvenir store, and a huge rocking chair.

Then on your way out... you can stop and put your head threw a hole in their signs. What fun indeed! Definately worth stopping by. Oh, and yes! The food is also delicious there!
