Send The Light

“Send The Light”

 “Live Joyfully”

 
  A perfect end to summer is a trip to South Padre to recharge.  I know when I see the  lighthouse at Port Isabel and cross the bridge I am on Island time. There is something about being at the sea that calms my soul.

I love watching the sea birds especially the Pelicans and Herons. We took a couple of the boys night crabbing with flashlights. What fun it was to see the little critters scuttling sideways by flashlight beam with a full moon rising over the sea. The little boys were so cute trying to get out of the crabs way when they came charging and then chasing after them. A night to remember and a great adventure!

The Monarchs are here so I know it really is fall! Amazingly short summer  this year but I love the autumn and I am delighted to see it arrive.




Offerings from our Burr Oaks. Fall brings sweeter weather, spectacular displays of foliage and colorful grasses, and harvest celebrations. It marks the start of a glorious season, shorter days and cozy, cooler nights. A season of change in this circle of life.
