HELLO ALL*S* WELL I HAVE GOT A FEW EMAILS AND ASKING ME IF I HAD PICTURES OF MY PLACE THAT I COULD PUT UP SO THEY COULD SEE THE YARD THAT I AM TALKING ABOUT,PARTICULARY WHEN I TALKED ABOUT IT IN THE PAPER--- THE ETERNAL CITY... SO I PUT SOME PICTURES TOGETHER AND SHALL GIVE YOU A LITTLE TOUR...SOME I HAVE VERY LARGE TO SHOW DETAIL THAT YOU OTHERWISE CAN'T SEE SO WELL..THE GRAPE ARBOR IS THE FIRST PLACE THAT JESUS AND I EVER MADE TOGETHER AND IT WAS IN THERE THAT I FIRST SAW HIS CLOUD  OUTSIDE IN MY LITTLE GRAPE ARBOR FOR HE HAD ALWAYS HAD HIS CLOUD INSIDE MY HOUSE IN MY LITTLE STUDY ROOM WHERE HIM AND I MEET TO STUDY HIS WORD AND SOMETIMES WE TAKE TRIPS IN THERE...AND SOME NIGHTS IT WOULD FILL MY WHOLE YARD.. I HAVE YET TO SEE HIS CLOUD COME INTO MY KOI POND AREA..FOR HE HELPED ME BUILD THAT TOO...HIS PRESENCE COMES IN THERE,BUT HAVE NOT YET SEEN HIS CLOUD IN THERE*S* MY WHOLE YARD HAVE I BLESSED AND MADE HIM THE OWNER OF IT... AND TOLD HIM TO INHABIT IT ALWAYS... AND YOU KNOW WHAT HE DOES..AND STARTING AT MY LITTLE GRAPE ARBOR I HAVE LITTLE TINY CLEAR LIGHTS THAT ARE STRUNG ALL AROUND IN THERE AND GOES OUT TO THE KOI POND YOU CAN'T SEE THEM BECAUSE THERE HIDDEN IN THE VINES ALL AROUND THAT VERY SPECIAL PLACE TO ME AND MY JESUS..SO ON SUMMER NIGHTS WHEN I SET OUT THERE I HAVE A SOFT LITTLE GLOW THAT COME FROM THOSE LITTLE LIGHTS THAT SURROUNDS MY SPECIAL PLACE.. SO ENJOY THE PICTURES AS I GIVE YOU THE TOUR... LOVE TERRI 

THE ENTRANCE TO MY GRAPE ARBOR ITS NOT VERY LARGE,MY SWING SEATS THREE,AND FOUR IF YOU WANTA SQUEEZE..IN THE SUMMER BIG GRAPE CLUSTERS HANG DOWN THROUGH THE LATTICE..I THINK THAT IS WHY JESUS HAD ME MAKE THIS PLACE FOR THE GRAPES TO HANG..FOR WE ARE THE CLUSTERS ON HIS VINES...AND HE JUST LOVES TO COME INTO THIS PLACE WITH ME ON SUMMER NIGHTS...NOW OUT THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS ENTRANCE IS WHERE THE NEXT PICTURE LEADS

IN HERE IS ANOTHER PLACE TO SET,AND GRAPES ALSO HANG IN CLUSTERS ALL OVER IN HERE.. NOW THE NEXT PICTURE IS THE PATH THAT LEADE TO MY KOI POND,AND THAT PATH IS TO THE LEFT...

I FORGOT TO TELL YOU .. THAT I LIVE IN THE DESERTS OF NEVADA...SO ALL OUT SIDE OF MY LAND IS THE DESERT..AND WE LIVE OUTSIDE OF OUR LITTLE TOWN..THERE ARE NO STREET LIGHT OUT HERE,BUT BOY CAN YOU SEE ALL HIS BEAUTIFUL STARS AT NIGHT..THE SKY IS FILLED WITH TINY LITTLE DIAMONDS..IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL AT NIGHT OUT HERE..FOR I LOVE THE EVENINGS BEST..MY PLACE LOOKS LIKE EDEN COMPARED TO THE DESERT THAT SURROUNDS MY LAND... BOY CAN GOD REALLY MAKE THE DESERT BLOOM...*S*

NOW THIS IS THE WALK WAY THAT LEADS TO MY KOI POND..THE ONE THAT JESUS HELPED ME MAKE,IT TOOK ME 2 AND A HALF MONTHS TO DO.. BUT WHEN IT WAS DONE THEN WE WERE ABLE TO ENJOY THE FRUITS OF OUR LABOR.. I HAD TO GO OUT IN THE DESERT TO COLLECT BIG ROCKS AND A LOT OF LARGE  FLAT ONES TO LINE MY POND WITH..AND THAT WAS SOME BACK BREAKING WORK.. BUT FINALY GOT ENOUGH TO LINE MY POND WITH..WHAT TOOK ME THE LONGEST TO DO WAS DIGGING THE WHOLE, FOR I HAD TO JUMP UP AND DOWN ON THE SHOVEL TO MAKE IT GO INTO THAT GROUND...BUT FINALY GOT THAT DONE TOO..MY POND IS NOT REAL LARGE ITS JUST REAL COZY..AND MY LITTLE FISH LIKE IT JUST FINE...

THIS IS THE SWING THAT SETS INSIDE MY POND,TO THE RIGHT OF IT IS MY POND...

NOW THESE NEXT PICTURES ARE OF MY POND THAT JESUS HELPED ME MAKE.. I AM VERY PROUD OF IT FOR HIM AND I MADE IT AND NO OTHER...NOW THIS PICTURE IS VERY LARGE,FOR I HAD TO MAKE IT THAT WAY OR YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SEE MY LITTLE WATERFALL ON IT OTHERWISE.. AND AT THE BOTTOM IS MY LITTLE KOI..THE WHITE ONE WITH BLACK SPECKS IS TESS SHE IS MY FAVORITE WHEN I SET OUT THERE SHE COMES OVER FOR ME TO FEED HER SHE IS SO SWEET... I JUST LOVE HER..I HAVE LITTLE ANGELS SETTING ALL AROUND IT..AND LOOKING STREIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU IS NETTING THAT IS COVERING IT FOR ON THE OTHER SIDE I HAVE MY LITTLE BIRDS..FINCHS,TWO COCKATAILS, AND TWO WHITE DOVES THAT I LOVE TO HEAR COO..THEY SOUND SO PRETTY..I JUST LOVE SETTING IN HERE 

THE SWANS IN HERE BACK ON THE LEDGE I DREW ON SOME WOOD AND MY HUSBAND CUT THEM OUT FOR ME AND I PUT THEIR PIECES TOGETHER AND PAINTED THEM AND PUT THEM ON THIS LEDGE..

YOU CAN SEE THE EDGE OF MY SWING THAT I SET ON IN THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER

MY LITTLE POND ANGELS I PUT THE BIRD IN THIS LITTLE ANGELS HAND AND I PUT THE OTHER ONE IN FRONT OF HIM WITH HIS LITTLE HAND OUT FOR HE LOOKS LIKE HE WANTS TO HOLD THE LITTLE BIRD TOO..

THIS IS THE OVERALL VIEW OF MY POND ARBOR..YOU CAN SEE THE SILVERLACE VINE GROWING UP THE SIDE..IT IS MUCH LARGER NOW FOR THESE PICTURES WERE TAKEN IN THE BEGINNING OF LAST SUMMER..AND WHY I HAVE LITTLE FENCES UP ALL AROUND MY LITTLE PLACES IS BECAUSE I HAVE A PAIR OF GEESE..NAMED GUSS AND GURDY,AND THEY WOULD JUST LOVE TO GET INTO MY KOI POND AND I SURE DON'T WANT THAT..THEY HAVE THEIR OWN POND THAT THEY SWIM IN. I DON'T HAVE PICTURES OF THAT RIGHT NOW BUT I DO HAVE PICTURES OF MY DUCK POND..THEY USED TO BE IN THERE WITH MY LITTLE DUCKS,BUT SOMETIMES THEY PICK ON THEM AND ALMOST KILLED MY LITTLE GIRL DUCK WHO I HAD TO BRING IN TO LIVE IN MY BATHTUB FOR A WHILE TO GET HER WELL AGAIN..SO AFTER THAT WE MADE A POND FOR GUS AND GURDY...

THIS IS MY DUCK POND,MY HUSBAND AND I  WENT OUT INTO THE DESERT AND GOT MORE ROCKS TO LINE THEIR POND WITH..AND THEN I PLANED PLANTS ALL AROUND IT AND NOW THEY ARE FINALY GETTING BIG ENOUGH THAT THEY GIVE SHADE TO THE DUCKS YOU CAN SEE SOME OF MY DUCKS IN THE WATER TAKING A SWIM

AND THIS IS MY GARDEN WHERE I GROW VEG. AND MELONS AND THAT IS MY SRCEEN HOUSE THAT I GROW HERBS IN AND IT WAS MADE FROM PVC PIPE...YOU CAN SEE ALL THE OPEN DESERT OUT BEHIND ME..AND THE DESERT THAT HE MADE SURE HAS ITS OWN BEAUTY TOO..I HAVE BEAUTIFUL MOUNTAINS ALL AROUND ME AND IN THE WINTER THEY GET COVERED IN SNOW..WHAT A BEAUTIFUL BEAUTIUL SIGHT THAT IS TO BEHOLD...

WELL THAT NOW ENDS MY LITTLE TOUR.. I SURE HOPE YOU ENJOYED YOURSELF WHILE I TOOK YOU ON THE TOUR OF SOME OF THE THINGS THAT I MENTION WHEN I WRITE..AND MAY MY FATHER IN HEAVEN ALWAYS WATCH OVER YOU ALL...I DIDN'T ALWAYS LIVE IN THE DESERT MY BIRTH PLACE WAS ASHLAND, KENTUCKY.. MUCH LOVE TERRI

THIS IS MY BIG WILLOW TREE AND UNDER IT IS ANOTHER BIG SWING YOU CAN'T SEE IT THOUGH BECAUSE THE WILLOW HANGS DOWN LIKE A SKIRT ALL AROUND IT..BUT INSIDE THERE IT IS ALL CUT OUT  SO THE BRANCHS ARE OUT AWAY FROM THE SWING IT IS VERY PRIVATE IN THERE..IT ALSO GIVES SHADE TO MY BIRD AVIARY AND ALL MY BIRDS YOU CAN SEE FROM THERE ALSO FOR THAT SIDE IS ALL OPEN FOR VIEW..
