My Life On The River


 Some Nature pictures from here on the river.....And a song that I like.
Back to Full Blog  

This is me, this is who I am!
I have muddy water running threw my veins....LOL





Little Big Town, singing " Boondocks"



Boondocks lyrics

I feel no shame
I'm proud of where I came from
I was born and raised in the boondocks

One thing I know
No matter where I go
I keep my heart and soul
In the boondocks

I can feel that
Muddy water runnin' through my veins
I can hear that
lullaby of the midnight train
And it sings to me and sounds familiar

I can taste that honeysuckle
And it's still so sweet
When it grows wild
On the banks down at old Camp Creek
And it calls to me like a warm wind blowin'

It's where I learned about livin'
Its where I learned about love
Its where I learned about working hard,
And having a little was just enough
It's where I learned about Jesus
And knowin' where I stand
You can take it or leave it
This is me
This is who I am
Give me a tin roof, a front porch, and a gravel road
And thats home to me, feels like home to me

You get a line I'll get a pole
We'll go fishin' in the crawfish hole
Five card poker on Saturday night
Church on Sunday morning

Sunset here at the River on Monday.



I was doing some work near the shed where we keep the lawn mower, and I found this Tree Frog that had decided it was a good place to hang out for the day.


This is a baby Tree Frog...No bigger than a penny. He is hanging onto a blade of grass.



I took many pictures of this Dragonfly....Thought he was pretty, and made a good subject.




This Pelican had just caught a fish, and decided to fly away with it hanging out of his mouth. Look close, and you can see the tail of the fish sticking out.




Just a bug that I thought was cool.

Hi June, Thanks on the pictures. I carry a camera with me most of the time, and take lots of photos. Its great we have the digital thing now and I can only keep some of them. It would cost a fortune to develop them like we used to do!
I'm happy you liked my song. It does pretty much describe me.... how I was raised, and how I continue to live today.
Hope your day is going good. I will be over soon!
Dixie

Dixie.....Great way to live I crave for the simple life, just to get lost and never found. Beautiful pictures!!!!!!!!! I've been really slacking this year. I did take a few of the bike ride I've got 2 I really want 2 share with you when I get a minute. I also got some I took on the roller coaster at Six flags before it stopped on a dime going up a big incline( while they located a utility worker to climb up the rails to confiscate my camera)

Sometimes I feel that way too Misty! I am getting worse the older I get about wanting to just stay here and hide from the world.
Will be looking forward to seeing the photos of your bike ride.
Now I need to ask you what you did to cause them to take your camera from you when you were on a roller coaster???? Thats really crazy!
Happy you enjoyed my nature pictures. So far my Turtle eggs have not hatched, and I am thinking they may not be fertile. I am not going to give up on them. At least not for a few more weeks anyway.
Well I have to get busy. Thanks for stopping by Misty, I'm am so happy to see you. Love ya, Dixie

Hi Mouse,
Thanks for stopping by. I really don't know much about this group. The Boondocks is the only song of theirs that I have heard.
I have had a busy weekend with company, and they are still here.I'm Having fun but feeding everyone is work.
Love, Dixie

Morning lagirl, Thanks for stopping by my blog. I really like their Boondocks song but, I don't think I have heard any of their other songs. I will be going on youtube to see what else they have done. I like there sound.
Hope your having a good Sunday!
