Americana Trickling In

I am sloowly working on some Americana items and putting them in my shop.

Summer time will be here soon enough and 

I know that I will have my Americana things out for display.

These are new. I really love how the colors came out!

Americana flowers. These can be put in a pretty bowl. Or even have a stick on them.




I will be adding more in the next few weeks!

Salt River Wild Horses

Hubby and I decided Saturday afternoon to take a trip to the 

Salt River here in Arizona.

It has been many years since we have been.

It is about 32 minutes from our home.

So we headed to gas up the Tahoe and hubby decided he couldn't see with all the

bugs on the windshield.

( mind you more bugs were coming after our trip LOL)

So off on Bush Highway we go. Traffic was not bad at all.

Thought it might be worse since its 80 degrees at 4pm

and lots of people at the lakes.

We were driving along side these Canyon walls to get to the river.

Where I live in Arizona it is desert.

BUT when we got there we realized we needed a "pass" to park. 

The only way to get the pass was to drive back the 29 miles we came.

So we decided to try a lake instead. Same thing.

Funny lived here my whole life and never had to buy a pass..

Anywhoooooo

We had to turn down the entrance to Butcher Jones Lake.

A lake I grew up at and all off a sudden.

My hubby slammed on the breaks and both of our jaws dropped.

The Salt River Wild Horses. I have lived in Arizona my whole life and have never seen them.

They are so pretty. and so use to people. The government had tried to coral these horses and make them not wild anymore.

Until the Arizona people spoke up and said NO!

You have to do that to government. :)

Look at the baby one. Hubby had to park and get out. 

I sat in the car in case we had to move since we didn't have a pass.

What started out as a trip to see a river we have seen many times in our lives,

changed and ended up seeing wild horses I only dreamed of seeing.

I hope to see these guys again...but if not..it was wonderful this time!

How Great Thou Art

I could list all the blessing the Lord has given to me,

but there would not be enough room in a million blog

posts to get them all down.

We serve and amazing God,

who loves us and provides all our needs.

Even the needs we did not know we needed.

He knows before we even ask.

Even in trials I give praise to Him.

All though it is a struggle at times to 

know that I am in the palm of his hand.

Woke up singing this song this morning.

I don't know that I will ever fully understand

How Great He Is.

Lil Miss Maggie

Happy Tuesday Bloggers.

I wanted to show you a few pictures of our kitty Maggie.

She is such a blessing to us.

First please excuse my dirty windows. I swear they don't look this bad in person..goodness!!

We have a large patio and in the afternoon, if someone is out there, Maggie loves to sun bathe.

She has learned that even though the neighbors dogs bark,

they can't get to her.

Maggies also loves to sit by me while I blog and so social media.

The "heat" comes out right where her paw is and 

she just soaks it up.

We sure do love having her around!
