I went out on property today. In some parts of the world that means the same thing as going out on tour or caravan. But when you go out on property you put on your boots and you walk pins or borders of a property. You take plot maps and even sometimes a compus, seriously I keep one in my purse. For me this is a great way to connect with nature and clear my head. Although today my head was full of allergies.

Think Like a Tree by Karen I. Shragg

Soak up the sun
Affirm life's magic
Be graceful in the wind
Stand tall after a storm
Feel refreshed after it rains
Grow strong without notice
Be prepared for each season
Provide shelter to strangers
Hang tough through a cold spell
Emerge renewed at the first signs of spring
Stay deeply rooted while reaching for the sky
Be still long enough to
hear your own leaves rustling.

This is a very old Cedar on the 123 Acre property on Red Creek Ranch. The trunk is all weathered and turned from the wind and weather.
