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.
