Places

See this land? That looks a lot like what I'm used to seeing every day. And those cows? Yeah, those too. But the grass.. that's a lot longer and greener than what I've been seeing this year.

Um, that's a complete bunny trail. This is not what I was intending to put in this post. But if you don't mind me asking, please pray for rain for ranchers everywhere.

On to what I was going to post. Anyway, I live really close to some used-to-be-fairly-well-known ranches. And when I think about that...

I see the places where cowboys used to ride every day. I see them every day, I mean. It's sort of funny, thinking about that. When I help move cows, I do it on the same ground people did it a hundred years ago. We do it a bit differently, of course, since times have changed. I have read a book written by a cowboy that worked on the very same land where I lived. Sometimes it gives me a funny feeling. I mean, people have seen these same views for more than a hundred years.

Think about where you live, what you see every day. Who was there before you? Who used to see the same things you see, or if you live in a city, who used to see the view that was here before the city? It's something to think about.

  2. Where my family moved, the family who had sold it to the people we bought it from had pictures of the place from the 60's and 50's. They even know where the hand dug cellar was. Till the people who bought it from them filled it with cement. My history-nut-family almost cried! But we don't have anyone writing books about it.
    We also had problems with rain in June and last year. You got my prayers!

    1. I don't live in a neat old house like that. It's just the place where I live...

      Thanks for praying!

    2. I wish I lived in a neat old house. Instead I live in a house where the people we bought it from made it without experience and with a tight budget. And either they liked blue, or they were on a TIGHT budget because we have blue carpet. So yeah I don't live in a neat cool house.

      Any time I can pray I will be happy to.
