JUNE 2017

During the month of June.....

The golden lantana and orange day lilies  growing behind our house really flourished, putting on a vibrant show!

And you know me, a beach baby, a B.O.I., pronounced "boy" (Born on the Island), Galveston Island.........

......I love going to Galveston regularly, putting my toes in the water!

So we made an overnight trip down to Galveston.  We checked out the historic building that was once an orphan's home.

                             What a majestic front porch!

The following day we rode the ferry over to Bolivar Peninsula.

We then continued driving along the Texas coastline to the tiny town of High Island (where I lived for awhile as a child), and following Farm Roads over to Anahuac, stopping there for lunch.

We then drove up through the countryside, around the northern side of Lake Livingston, and soon arrived in the town of Trinity.

But just as we came into the edge of Trinity, on F.M.356, we were awestruck by these incredible works of art.  One man's hobby.  On display for all passersby to enjoy!

You just never know what you will find when you avoid the Interstates and travel on lesser traveled state highways and Farm Roads!

Next we decided to make another little detour from our regular traveled path home to find this old church.  Near Elkhart, Texas.  

There was a beautiful magnolia tree growing behind the church.

 

Tom's garden is awesome this June, lots of Spring rains!

                              Tomato vines are heavy with fruit! 

 We are staying busy with picking, processing, and filling up our freezer and sharing the bounty with family and friends.

My wonderful Mom celebrated her 91st birthday in June!

 

Stay tuned......

More adventures in June will follow in my next post..........
