Senderas cut wide for a definite reason, preparing for the next deer hunting season.
Prickly pear blooming in shades of yellow. Every now and then a fence mending fellow.
Windmills turning in the gentle breeze. Mesquite trees blooming, sign of a last freeze.
Birds looking for anything for which to build a nest, as they flitter to a post to take a rest.
A roadrunner risk his/her live to cross the road. The farmer couldn't brake with his heavy load.
Another roadkill added to the rest, the farmer tried to stop, did his best.
A ramshackle shack that was once a home, as the soil channged to a sandy loam.
A big green tractor, a giant in size. We see a flock of buzzards just over the rise.
A few deer grazing, no bucks in sight, they will wait for the saftey of a moonlit night.
The sky is blue, no impending rain, the view from the highway lane after lane.
A buttery yellow sun blocked by our visor, makes our view from the highway a little bit nicer.

Great poem. Thanks for sharing. Janie
I love this poetry Paula. It flows and it rhymes, my type of poetry. Thanks, very relaxing.
Yeah, I forgot Mt. Vernon, I loved it too, an amazing place. I liked the way they described how they kept ice for as long as they did.
You are good at the 'Texas stuff', keep it up.
BTW, how did they get cold beer in 1870's down your way?

Hi Paula. Very descriptive :)..........
Nice poem, Paula! I have really missed reading about your cows!
Hunting - I told my ex he could continue hunting after we married, but he was to use a camera instead of a gun. He agreed, decided himself that deer are much too beautiful to kill - he didn't even want to eat the meat anyway!
Very nice! Love your poetry.
Sweet! Makes me what to me want to go what daddy used to call "galavanting".
