North West Texas Skies

When asked what is my favorite color,

I say blue.

What shade of blue? 

Sky blue.

Just plain sky blue? 

No, I think.

Hombre blue that brightens as it rises from the horizon.

With puffs of white.

The sound that woke me.

I woke up this morning to the sound of a plane buzzing low over the roof top.  I remember the sound from my child hood.  It excited me because I didn't think they still dusted crops by plane anymore.  I bounced out of bed, hastily pulled on a robe and scrambled out the front door.  There it was!  I watched for several minutes then raced back inside to grab my camera.  I wonder what the pilot thought to see me below with my ratty robe flapping in the wind snapping photo's as he passed over, and over again.  I don't know exactly why it is so mesmerizing, but I stayed there a long time watching and snapping the shutter of a plane reflecting in the morning sun below billowing clouds and brilliant blue sky.  It must be okay that this morning happened, why else would I be afforded such lovely memories and such a lovely sky backdrop?

 

Looking Up...

What an awesome job.
These men were working high above the traffic.  The wire they are placing will take harnessed energy from wind turbines to businesses and homes all over Texas.

As I drove upon this amazing site my breath was taken by the spectacle.
I had to stop and watch for a few minutes
and take a few photo's to share the experience.

It's Okay

I'm tired from the long drive from mom's, it's okay, I saw some cool construction over the highway and I like yellow.
I think the above job looks awesome, though I'm a little afraid of heights and it's okay!
There's dust under hubs recliner, it's okay, I'll get Rosie Robot out for it later today.
There's dishes in the sink, it's okay, I have to empty the washer before I can put them in.
There's nothing out to cook for dinner, it's okay, I really have a craving for delivery pizza.
There's a load of laundry beside my suitcase.  That's okay, it will wait till morning.
I have only one post for this week, it's okay, a little break has given me some new ideas.
I've been unable to photograph those cute baby birdies being fed by the momma bird outside the den window, it's okay, I'm going to keep trying.
I badly need to color my roots and it's okay that I'm looking for a new brand.
BTW...can any of you recommend an "over the counter" brand that will not fade away so quickly?

I like to link up at some parties where I share my page and find lots of interesting ideas from other bloggers.  You don't have to be a blogger to peak at the creations, just come see.

Angel wings in the sky

After a particularly difficult two days at the hospital last week, this sky scape unfolded in front of us on our drive home.

I’m exceedingly grateful to those professionals that dedicate themselves to helping others.
