Waves of pale blue wafted through the quilted Texas sky Highlighting the tangerines and lavenders of the evening Grandpa’s old windmill looked picturesque in the distance Sundown believes in imagination, adoration and fantasy I stared into the ribboned distance, wondering if the trees suspected They had an essential part in the mystique of the moment Birds were reverent, none of them...

I think this might have been one of the largest rat snakes ever, I said. Forgetting our resident Texan was sitting at the table. He pulled out a photo of a gigantic snake, and claimed it was in his back yard. You live in a jungle? I challenged him. I do now, he told me. We are in Kansas folks. As...
