Life in Kansas

Here in Kansas the wind is big, I can’t see it, but I feel that it is big.  Something is different about the wind, coming in off the plains it must inflate.

Then, there is the strawberry sunset.  I did not capture it we were walking, I left my camera at the RV.  Never have I seen a neon strawberry sunset.  For minutes the sun rested on the horizon all dizzle dazzle.

One of the ponds closest to our place belongs to the geese.  Beautiful big Canada Geese, and babies possibly thirty, call this home .  The geese paddle the pond for awhile, walk around, eat bugs, do yoga, stretch, and snuggle in to rest in the grass.  I personally saw two or three geese lifting one foot stretching out, and align the back and the leg.  Somewhat downward dog.  I. am. not. lying.

We went for cheeseburgers with chili,  salad, and delicious iced tea at the Club House.  Very good.  Cake for dessert, we declined.  Bingo after but we came on home to bathe Molly Gael at 7:30 p.m.  Then over hill and dale to the “go fast” dog park.  Set free of a leash Molly goes fast, and fast, and more fast.

Robin redbreast statue mime, taking a few steps, then stand sentry for a minute, then begin again.  They watch us.  I wonder if they are feathered angels and worship God at sunset. 

I ended posting the Strawberry Sunset poem and photo from St. Martinsville, Louisiana.  So I will post this now, a little late but just as fun.

So now, I wish you a week filled with good things, good health, good food, friends and family, peace and laughter.
