West Texas sunsets can be truly breathtaking. They remind me of God's work and I feel like they are a gift from above.

About nine months ago, Rodney and I came across a field that had approximately fifty mule deer that were grazing on wheat. We stopped to watch the deer play around and prance. The deer appeared to … Continue reading Mule Deer Study around the Caprock
