We did make a trip to Galveston this past Summer. As always we rode the Galveston/Port Bolivar ferry which is always a relaxing and enjoyable ride over and back.
In the evening we went on a sunset cruise and watched this awesome sunset.
Tom grew a wonderful garden this year and we enjoyed eating fresh vegetables all Summer, we filled our freezer for the Winter months, shared our excess veggies with family and friends, and Tom even grew some beautiful flowers at the end of some of the rows in the garden.
Tom is going to experiment with raised bed gardening, probably starting out with some herbs?
We made our third trip this year to Oklahoma the first week of November to maintain our adopted section of the Ouachita Trail. It was a glorious sunshine-filled day and the Fall colors were just gorgeous.
We hardly ever see anyone on the trail but on this day we met these three hikers who had started their hike at the Ark./Okla. state line and were hiking west to Talimena State Park where the Ouachita Trail begins.
It was such a nice day to be out in the woods not to mention the views!
I love showing off this Christmas Cactus plant when it blooms.
I walked outside early the other morning and was stunned by this incredible sunrise over the hay meadow behind our house.
Sadly, three more of the large cedars on the south side of our house were dying and rather than risk them falling onto our house we contracted to have them taken down.
