As we leave home with our two grandsons, the hoar frost on everything creates an absolutely exquisite landscape all the way down to Kansas City. We constantly marvel at the beauty and bask in its majesty. We also give thanks for nature’s exhibition of sun rays radiating from behind the clouds, and the evening star (planet) and just the slightest sliver of the moon aligned perfectly just at dusk. How good it is!
As we drive through southern Kansas and into Oklahoma, there are thousands of red lights on both sides of the road … some close, some far off, blinking in no discernible pattern. What are they?? We did enjoy seeing 5 eagles and a whopping 21 hawks as we traveled along! It’s been a long day, so sleep came easily in Blackwell, Oklahoma.
Monday morning we awoke to frost all over the car … it’s still below freezing. But the daylight illuminates the thousands of wind turbines all around us … thus explaining the red light district! The remaining drive to San Antonio was long … interesting scenery in Oklahoma; but, surprisingly, mostly city from Dallas all the rest of the way. We did stop at the Visitors’ Center upon crossing the Texas border to pick up maps and other pamphlets. One of those suggested a must-stop at the Czech Shop/Bakery along the way. It took some doing, but we found it and did enjoy kolachki, reminding ourselves of our heritage … but also noting that probably this Nana’s Kolachki are even better!!! Only sighted 11 hawks today!
We settle into our abode for the next week, enjoy the now 60-degree weather, pick up a few groceries, watch a funny movie and hit the pillows for some needed sleep, thankful for arriving safe and sound. It’s been very good spending this time with grandsons!
