Outside this morning the temp is 59 degrees.. How about it Texas Folks??
This is nice....really nice!!
Last evening, Sam and I took a little ride down to the farm with one mission in mind....to see if the "resident gator" would make an appearance. Sure enough, there he was, gliding along like he owned the place. He eyes just barely above the water and he was going slow and easy as he was making his way to the other end of he lake.
We sat there for a good while, windows down, just watching. It felt a little like being on a safari, except there was no jeep and the only exotic wildlife was a Texas alligator instead of a fierce lion. I did keep my ears on alert just in case we heard a panther or BIG FOOT!!!!!
The weather was perfect, although we did have a few mosquitos trying to enjoy the coolness of the evening along beside us. They can be so annoying!!!
On our way driving away from the lake, we saw several beautiful does with their fluffy white tales showing off once they saw us.

How cool is that? Your very own alligator. My husband would probably name it.I know very little about alligators, so I’m wondering he must be awfully lonely. Poor guy. Love the precious deer on your property. No deer visits at our place but my son does and he feeds them.God bless you Shug and continued prayers for Sam.
What a nice evening! Time spent together in God's beautiful creation! We were out last night to see the blood moon and saw deer while we were out too - no alligators though!
Plenty of deer around here, but no gators.
Wow, your own alligator. How cool is that.
Great shot of the deer.
Praying for Sam.
Just keep the deer and the alligator separate Shug - lol. That was a beautiful walk.
Nature's blessings can be some of the best, Shug. So glad you two had this special time together. Blessings!
Thank you Martha....The farm is so very pretty and with the nice cool weather, it made for a great evening.
It's such a wonderful sight when we see the Deer, Shug. They are special animals for sure. I couldn't believe that two small deer were on my lawn yesterday, while the mother looked on. I just gazed at the three deer in the neighborhood. Wow, that alligator! That's really a pretty picture. When you mentioned the lion, I thought about how we have to watch out for mountain lions here, as they have been spotted in the next town over. So nice that you and Sam got to go to the farm and just spend time visiting nature. The farm sounds like a neat place to go. And I'm glad you are getting cooler weather now.

True!! It worries me for the alligator to be there. I think it came over from the big lake and has now made it's home in this lake...the lake that the nursery uses for irrigating..
The deer were all so pretty...We have seen so many of them this year.
The deer have really been so pretty this year...lots of little ones with their spots.
Glad no alligators for you all... Did you get to see the moon?
I just read Sam's update. My heart goes out to Sam for the struggles he has been having, and for you, my precious blog friend. : )
I've been trying to think of a name for this thing. Gators are so intimidating and the bad thing is that the nursery uses this lake every day to irrigate out of..
yikes, I hope there are no dogs on the farm, we live in gator country and scarely a day goes by that someone or their dog gets attacked. even small children are in danger.
it really is a beautiful place to sit and listen to nature and be quiet..
Thankfully no dogs and no children any where near. This farm is way back in the country and I would almost venture to say there are places back there that no foot as ever been on. We are blessed to have such a beautiful place to enjoy..
That gator looks like he must be the cousin to the one I saw here a couple of months ago at the boat ramp park we like to go to. Your picture looks almost just like mine! LOL. We went back there last week and I looked for him (carefully), but I did not see him. Besides, you know they keep growing...they don't stay young and small for long...so be careful! I think the deer are pretty safe as they most likely would run before he could get them, but maybe not a small fawn... Anyway, I loved your pictures and the scene you painted for us sounded lovely, except for the mosquitoes. I know all about them too! I will keep praying for your hubby. One day at a time. May God continue to help him and heal him. Amen.
How wonderful. The quiet and the animals. I would be in heaven! You got good photos as well. Is he the only croc there, or do you think there are more?
hi Ginny. As far as we can tell, he is the only one out there. It's kinda scary to think that there could be more. my grandsons duck hunted in this same lake just last season .. eek..
What a lovely evening! I'm happy for you.
Well there's something we can't do in Pennsylvania. Sounds like a nice evening.
Yikes! is right? Even that photograph gives me goosebumps. We have them here, too, which makes me "glad all over" Tom's no longer able to take his jon boat out on the water.
The ways in which you and Sam discover peace encourages me.
Such a lovely evening! I love the quiet...nature...animals! The croc would spook me, as living in a big city like Montreal (thank God) I have never seen a croc or a gator. Take good care of yourself, dear friend, so happy you got some beautiful quiet, nature time!
What a beautiful time together you had just sitting out with nature. Not sure I'm an alligator admirer but I do like dear!!
I am not sure I would like seeing a gator:)
Your evening with Sam sounds so relaxing, Shug. Prayers continue for you and your family.
That alligator looks so peaceful and unthreatening n the calm waters of the lake. I hope the deer keep well away.
You sat in an open car watching an alligator??? How brave of you. They truly frighten me.
God bless you and your family, Shug.
Good Morning, Well no alligators here! But We did have some mosquitoes LOL.
But the full moon was spectacular!! Praying for Sam and so glad you took a drive together that was like a date-night! Hugs, Roxy
I live in North Central Texas and we have not gotten quite that cool here; however, I did enjoy the mid 60's one early morning as I walked. I loved the nature pictures and the one of the alligator reminded me of my roots in Louisiana. Gators were a common scene. Enjoyed your happy blog today.
It's funny that you have an alligator about. People get so feared when I talk about my bear! You just have to know and understand their behaviour. All the best.
