4/13/15-A Beautiful Place to Live

I am so grateful to my friend Leslie for finding this RV Park. It is beautiful. I haven't been able to venture out and find bluebonnets for pics this year, but this is from a nearby field.

I wish I could have seen Miss Bettie's field of flowers in Goliad. I hear they were gorgeous this year. I hope someone took pics! And the palace purchasers report they got even more rain recently. When I am able to drive again, one of my first road trips will be back there to see my friends. I miss you guys!

I still long for the open road one day, but if one has to be stationary and on a healing journey, it doesn't get much better than this. I took this next pic from my front porch. The silly blue jay would wait on a hummingbird to arrive at the feeder and then try to fly like it. He wore himself out and was literally panting, but he kept trying. He wouldn't go near the birds or the feeder, he just kept flying up to that level to try and hover. Talk about a lesson in acceptance and letting go. Or perhaps it is an example of faith and perseverance. Interesting. Every now and then the hummers would hang out mid air just watching him, or taunting him. One can never be sure. Or perhaps they were encouraging him and offering support. Again, interesting.

The blue dotted line is the bank of the San Gabriel. The water is a good 20' below this and it makes for stunning views.

There is a 1/4 mile oval path in the middle of the park. Within it is a stone fountain with multiple falls (yellow arrow), gardens for residents to tend, barbecue pits and propane grills (beyond the gazebo).  There is also an area equipped with horseshoe games (just past the gardens), and plenty of picnic tables. There is nice, low lighting all the way around the path. It makes for lovely walks at night. Here's a morning pic.

I still did a couple of whacky things today, but nothing like it has been. It was such a treat to feel better and get out for walks. I thought you might enjoy it too.
