Hi my friends,

one of the best things of spring are also the Strawberries in the market - I love them over everything! O.k. maybe not everything - hubby is sweeter as they are....*smile*...

I'm going into the cooking business now and I'm posting now a delicious recipe for you -  you should give it a try and you'll not regret, I promise :)

Thanks for all the kind comments yesterday.

See you again, tomorrow or the next day. I have some projects going on, but I hope I can make time to post something.

See you!

It's Springtime in Arkansas!

I hope you'll enjoy too the nature and the pretty green and yellow trees - it's spring time in the valley!

Look at these colors!

...or these pastels...isn't it just beautiful?

I couldn't get enough of it...

"Dip" - "dip" - dip" and we were on the top of one! It was big fun to drive down BIG hills :)

Nice and peaceful looking farm scenes - I love it!

We arrived in Alpena, a little town close to the State line to Missouri

Signs for all the shows came up on the road - Branson can not be to far away anymore!

Indeed, we crossed the States border pretty soon after Alpena

The University of Hollister, MO - we are soon in Branson!

The first visible sign of Branson - it must be a town of music and entertainment!

And this is the entrance to our so called "home" for the next weeks and months - if we really will like it :)

And this is our pretty outlook every day to the lake Taneycomo from now on - very enjoyable, right?

Hi my friends,

it's now already the 2nd day we have spent in entertaining Branson. Today also we have explored the town again and of course, I made new photos too. Stay tuned with me and come back to see them tomorrow and the next days.

Thanks for your loyal visits and the comments. I appreciate that very much.

See you tomorrow again! :)

The Angel Oak in Spring

I have visited the old "Angel Oak" again, I wanted to see her in her new "spring time dress". But there were 3 buses waiting outside the parking lot and for sure more than over 120 school kids running around and climbing up and down in the tree like little monkeys. So I had to wait until the big fun was over and they are gone - and happily, 10 minutes later the whole place was empty again, quite again and only the singing birds and my clicking camera to hear.


I made earlier already a post about the "Angel Oak",read it here: http://sues-daily-photos.blogspot.com/2008/02/angel-oak.html
