The Lee County Courthouse in Giddings, Texas, is one of my favorites.

Rendezvous
Venus and the Moon meet in the low, eastern darkness
Their usual rendezvous
I wave in greeting, step up to join them
Halfway, I hesitate when clouds swirl in, as if to shield
Through the grey-blue veil
I catch my last glimpse as they
Fade into the dawn’s shimmer,
Reaching across to each other,
Looking back to gauge my celestial distance
Oh, I wonder, am I intruding?
Venus and the Moon
Miniature Donkeys
Judy and I went on a field trip to visit Cripple Creek Critters in Paige, Texas, where they breed registered miniature Mediterranean donkeys.
Two to tango?
The donkeys have such tiny feet hooves.
Big ears and tiny hooves. And just as cute as can be.
The better to hear you, my dear.
Time for a ride.
This is Magellan, a 10-year old male, showing off his cart skills for us.
Magellan saying hello to the jennets in the next paddock
The other donkeys were curious; watching to see if Magellan got any treats.
Any treats for us?
A spotted miniature donkey getting some individual attention.
Loves to be petted.
Thanks to Cheryl, Pat and Eric of Cripple Creek Critters for being such great hosts.
Friday Fiction: Patience and Love
Friday Fictioneers photo prompt. Copyright Mary Shipman.
“What a dump! I hate you!” Robin ran back to their car, sobbing.
‘A new house,’ her parents said. But Robin saw the reality: rotting porch, doors askew, leak-stained ceilings. “It just needs some patience and love,” her dad said.
Robin cried herself to sleep while her parents unloaded the trailer. Her dad woke her, saying, “There’s something I want to show you.”
Reluctantly, Robin followed him into the back yard. They climbed up the ladder and looked around in the abandoned tree house. Smiling, she reached for his hand, “It just needs a little patience and love, right, Dad?”
