Ron's granddad took us to see a mural that's being painted in downtown San Angelo. It's still a work in progress, but it's already truly amazing. Instead of trying to convey just how amazing in words, I'll just post my photos for you to enjoy!

Wind farming in west Texas
On our trip to San Angelo last weekend, we drove by this wind farm just west of Abilene. You almost need an aerial view to truly appreciate the expanse of this place. There are wind generators as far as the eye can see. It's called Horse Hollow Wind Energy Center and it's the largest wind farm in the world.
These generators are simply enormous!
Look how small the stairs and doorway are!
I think this is a great source of energy and I hope it is made more widely available in the future.

Same barn, different sunset
We've been having some really spectacular sunsets here lately. Case in point:
I can't even begin to capture God's glory in this photo. But I hope you can see a smidgen of what He's created for us.

Wild and wonderful
This is the scenery that greeted me when I stepped out to snap some pictures of our sunset last night. A little scary, but very beautiful!

No matter what kind of day I'm having, a picture like this is an awesome reminder of the beauty of the Lord's creation.

Snapshot of a Saturday
If you are an observant, regular visitor to our blog, you will notice that this post's title varies slightly from the norm. That's because instead of getting out and having some adventure, or cleaning some house, or talking to my children, I stared into the gi-normous cyclops eye of my new iMac. All day I have sat in nearly the same spot, rooted to my chair almost, configuring this, and tweaking that.
But! At one point I did glance out the schoolroom window to see this glorious sight.
Can you look at this and doubt that God is near?
