A Western Sunrise???

I took these pictures a few months ago.....this was when we still knew what clouds were. LOL

 I'm not a meteorologist but I was always taught that the sun rises in the east, so then why when I looked out the window to the "WEST" this morning did I see the sun shining in the clouds?
You can tell from the photo how dark it still is out.
I had to grab my camera ASAP and snap a couple of shots to show you all that the sun now can rise in the West.....
at least her in my part of the country,

Thanks for visiting,

A Dry Beautiful Summer & Fall


 Yes we have had a dry summer and now a dry fall,
and yes we have had a hot summer.
But this country life can still be a beautiful,
at least to me.

We are still praying for rain,  it is needed so bad in our part of the country,

Thanks for visiting our brown and beautiful country,

Gloss Mountains

 These are the "Gloss Mountains" that are out by where we were checking cows.  I think I am use to        seeing them now, but I still remember the first time I saw them and thought how odd to have a "mountain" rise up right in the middle of the prairie.

 and then they look like God just gave them a flattop haircut.  

The internet says that they are sometimes called "Glass Mountains" because they have a high Selenite content that mimics shiny glass,

 but if you are a local they are always called "Gloss Mountains".....
maybe it is our slang/accent that turned the word glass to gloss?

Either way God did a great job don't ya think?

Thanks for visiting our part of the GLOSS Mountains,
