Fightin' Side of Me

I hear people talkin' bad,
About the way we have to live here in this country,
Harpin' on the wars we fight,
An' gripin' 'bout the way things oughta be.
An' I don't mind 'em switchin' sides,
An' standin' up for things they believe in.
When they're runnin' down my country, man, They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me. Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me, Runnin' down the way of life,
Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep..
If you don't love it, leave it:
Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'
If you're runnin' down my country, man,
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me..


I read about some squirrely guy,
Who claims, he just don't believe in fightin'.
An' I wonder just how long,
The rest of us can count on bein' free.


They love our milk an' honey,
But they preach about some other way of livin'.When they're runnin' down my country, hoss,
They're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.


Yeah, walkin' on the fightin' side of me.
Runnin' down the way of life,
Our fightin' men have fought and died to keep.
If you don't love it, leave it:
Let this song I'm singin' be a warnin'.If you're runnin' down my country, man,
You're walkin' on the fightin' side of me.

~ What a Day That Shall Be ~

There is coming a day when no heartaches shall come
No more clouds in the sky, no more tears to dim the eye.
All is peace forevermore on that happy golden shore,
What a day, glorious day that will be.

Chorus
What a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see,
And I look upon His face,
The One who saved me by His grace;
When He takes me by the hand
And leads me through the Promised Land,
What a day, glorious day that will be.
There'll be no sorrow there, no more burdens to bear,
No more sickness, no pain, no more parting over there;
And forever I will be with the One who died for me,
What a day, glorious day that will be.


Chorus
What a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see,
And I look upon His face,
The One who saved me by His grace;
When He takes me by the hand
And leads me through the Promised Land,
What a day, glorious day that will be.
What a day, glorious day that will be!

I am now the age that I can officially be armed and dangerous. I know weird thing to say for a birthday cake picture.

I LOVE the little curly cues in the frosting :)

What do you think of the photography????????????

On the Scent of Bigfoot

Cute little Guy :)

Garden Friends was next, but for now it's just this one little feller.

He's the nymph of a Leaf-footed bug

Spring Dreaming

I'm dreaming of spring, the best time of the year. It's almost here, though it's freezing outside right now.



The Lord has given us a beautiful gift in spring. All the plants poking little green heads up, brand new fluffy ducklings around the parks, little mini turtles, bare feet, spring planting, Oh how I love to dirty my hands in my first planting of the year. So many years I just couldn't wait til our last frost had passed so I could start the garden.


Dandelions! I love dandelions, I have so many fond memories of childhood connected with them, flower chain crowns and necklaces, decor for braids and mud pies. Of course I shouldn't leave out Crow Poison, they were a big part of flower crowns too.


Spring memories wouldn't be complete with out mentioning Chickweed, As a child I'd spend hours just popping the seed pockets of chickweed (it's edible too, and good for you).


Tadpoles! aren't they the coolest, cutest little things and the most fun a kid can have! Baby lizards too they are really really cute:)


Our beautiful Texas flowers Bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrush will be out in spring too, one of the biggest reasons for spring being the best season.



Oh and to finally have warm hands:) I'm not for all this cold weather.

The Green of Spring

~Marci~



Spring, the sweet spring, is the year’s pleasant king,
Then blooms each thing, then maids dance in a ring,
Cold doth not sting, the pretty birds do sing:
Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!

The palm and may make country houses gay,

Lambs frisk and play, the shepherds pipe all day,

And we hear aye birds tune this merry lay:

Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!

The fields breathe sweet, the daisies kiss our feet,

Young lovers meet, old wives a-sunning sit,

In every street these tunes our ears do greet:

Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to witta-woo!

Just a picture I took 2 or so years ago, of a beautiful dog (in my opinion) looking out at some Texas countryside.

God Created Straws First :)

Just a Picture I took today, it's not very well focused but I thought someone might enjoy it anyway.

The Butterfly is on a Lantana flower. If anyone knows what butterfly it is, let me know.

I looked it up, the butterfly is a Gulf Fritillary (Agraulis vanillae).

The 2nd Beginning of the Crazy Ramblings of My Mind

Welcome to my Blog!! Well I'm back, hopefully I'll stay a little longer this time. To those of you already doing this (blogging that is), I am impressed:) I find it all very hard.

I don't know what I'm going to be doing with this blog exactly, in part I will be showing some of my photography (seems like everybody's a amateur (me) photographer these days:). The header is one of my good old Texas wildflower shots.

I'm not very good at writing, so be forewarned. Well I hope I will be able to share something worthwhile.

Oh yes, I'm going to add a picture of Brain to this, to show those who missed him last time around, He's a real cutie (no he's not my cat).
