Bolton, Mississippi

Does it get any prettier than this? Wow, I really loved our visit to Bolton! We went there to pick up ten beehives that we purchased from renowned bee-man, J.N. Russell, and we'll head back there next week to get our the other ten. Neither Mark nor I had been to that part of Mississippi before so we were looking forward to seeing what it was like. We weren't disappointed with the scenery. It's so lovely! The rolling hills, the tall trees...loved it! You can check out our bee blog for more shots and information about our beekeeping trip.

Here's another shot I really liked. Love the variety of trees there because it reminds me of home - North Carolina.

South TX Wind Farm

Wind power is a hot topic and you see more and more information and publicity about it lately. I saw my first wind farm out in California last year and I knew we had some here in Texas but I had not been to any until now. It is so cool!

This farm is between Odem and Portland, Texas. We were driving to Corpus Christi along Interstate 37 and Mark pointed the farm out to me. We took an exit and drove and drove...and drove some more, winding around cool country roads and fields. And finally we found it and it was worth the detour. These mills tower in the fields and you don't realize how big each mill is until you are right under one. :-)
