Springtime


Pig Writes:

Ahhhh Springtime.
The time of year where warm weather with light breezes and plenty of sunshine make for perfect riding weather here in South Texas. Late winter rains this year charged the ground with life producing nutrients. That made the wild flower season burst into full bloom. The reddish orange of Indian paintbrush mixed in with the wild blue bonnets along with fields of purple and yellow flowers remind us of Gods artistic hands in His creations.

Riding through the back-roads of farms and ranches bring forth a heart full of joy and happiness at the sight of all those beautiful fields. Forever people stop along their way to take pictures – saving memories of the beauty they have seen.

Traveling down these roads on two wheels the sense of freedom and prosperity overcome you. For me it makes me proud to be an American and a Texan. Excitedly I lean out from behind my trusted pilot's back to take a peak at the upcoming road. That was when I felt the lump in my throat.

But not a lump of happiness or pride.

Certainly not a lump of joy either.

More like a lump from the damm bug I just swallowed. Yuck! That didn't taste like chicken!
Happy Springtime Everybody

Ride HARD or Stay Home
