Food for the Body and the Spirit

 

Another first for us as we embrace

the mid-life to senior-adult years.

 

David had to have cataract surgery

and that includes some form of

inactivity as in no bending or lifting

for a week.

 

 

"Still" is not in his vocabulary so

needless to say, he suffered from

cabin fever by the end of the week.

 

We decided to drive across the state

line to enjoy a catfish dinner so he

could get out of the house.

 

 

It is a beautiful spot about 30 minutes

from our home.

 

While enjoying the scenery......

what did I spy on the far bank??

 

 

Looks like Big Foot has a

hankerin' for a fish dinner as well!

Guess I can tell the folks on that

reality show they can quit looking...

I found him.

 

 

A totem anchored the parking area,

carved by a local chainsaw artist that

turned a dead tree into a work of art.

 

Tadpole

 



 

my favorite, a pelican.

 



 

a Caddo Indian profile, isn't

this amazing?

 

 

 

cute frog on a lily pad

and last but not least.....

 

 

a gator...

all familiar sights in these parts,

 done by a man and a chain

saw, on a ladder I suppose?

 

I was impressed.

 

As usual, we traveled the back roads

and David always finds a new

path to explore, (especially since

he was in no hurry to get back to

the house after being cooped up all week).

 

 

This tree caught my eye. You know I have a

love affair with them (trees) and love them

bare or dressed in greenery.

This one, I think is beautiful in form with

all its tiny branches.

 

Not much excitement around the

Cypress Swamp these days

as you can tell.

 

 

 

The clouds are forming and

the forecast for tomorrow

is rain. I'm so thankful

for a beautiful day and a drive

through the country with my

hubbie and new sights to see.

 

We returned refreshed

in body and in spirit.

 

Happy Weekend.....
