NO PLACE LIKE HOME!

What a wonderful morning!  The birds are chirping, enjoying a beautiful sunrise!  Surprisingly, it is 57 degrees this morning (in June?!).  What an awesome Spring we have had (and are having) this year!  Just enough rain every few days to keep the garden and the landscape lush and green.

I snapped this photo (thru the truck windshield) just south of Canton on Hwy.198.

May 5th (Last leg of our Grand Canyon Trip)

 

Following a great night's sleep at the Holiday Inn Express in Graham, Texas., we had breakfast at the hotel and continued on our scenic drive east on U.S.Hwy.380.  Since we drove until well after dark last night, we missed what was probably beautiful scenery as U.S.Hwy.380 crossed over the north end of Lake Graham and then hugged along the east side of the lake also before we entered the town of Graham.  This morning our drive took us thru Bryson and Jacksboro before we came to Runaway Bay, which sits on the south end of Lake Bridgeport.  When we arrived in Bridgeport, we took a detour into downtown to the Visitor Center, where the city's life-size replica of a Concord Stagecoach sits in a glass enclosure in front of the building.

 

 

Following our little detour into Bridgeport, we were soon to Decatur, where we picked up U.S.Hwy.287 south (right thru Fort Worth) all the way to I-20 east.  Thankfully on this Sunday morning there was no traffic problems in Fort Worth, and we were soon heading east toward "Home Sweet Home" at the edge of the woods!  We were home by lunchtime!  Yippee!  No place like home!

 

Here is our garden before we left for this vacation:

 

Here is our garden a few days after we got home:

  

The unusually cool nights that we have had this Spring has slowed down the growth a little, however we should be able to pick our first veggies soon.

 

More later about our ongoing project of clearing the old fence line that you can see at the back of the garden in the first garden photo.

 

Also the week after we got home from our Grand Canyon trip, Tom's brother Tim, and his wife, Kathy came from Georgia for a few days to visit!  It was so great to see them and have them in our home here at the edge of the woods for awhile!
