CANNON RANCH

FOUR GENERATIONS OF A FAMILY HAVE ENJOYED THE CANNON RANCH. THE 2ND GENERATION IS HOLDING UP A GIANT COTTONWOOD TREE. THESE TREES ARE AT LEAST 60 FT. TALL.AND SO PRETTY. IF ONLY THESE TREES COULD TALK , JUST THINK OF THE STORIES ABOUT THE CHANGES THAT HAVE TAKEN PLACE OVER THE LAST HUNDRED YEARS.

THESE TWO PICTURES ARE THE MIDDLE SECTION AND THE VERY TOP SECTION. THE TREE REMINDED ME OF THE AWESOME GOD THAT CREATED THIS PLACE AND BLESSED US AS CARE TAKERS. IF YOU LOOK CLOSE YOU CAN SEE THREE SECTIONS IN THE MIDDLE AND TOP OF THE TREE . TO ME IT SEEMED LIKE GOD IN THE MIDDLE ON HIS THRONE AND JESUS ON HIS RIGHT AND THE HOLY SPIRIT ON HIS LEFT. ALL THREE ARE WATCHING OVER GIGAGOO WHO IS STANDING UNDERNEATH.

WILD LIFE IS ABUNDANT ON THE RANCH. THIS WILD TURKEY HEN IS LOOKING TO MAKE A NEST AND LAY HER EGGS TO PRODUCE MORE WILD TURKEYS.

THIS KIND OF WILD LIFE WE DO NOT REALLY NEED. WE HOPE WE CAN DISCOURAGE THIS MESQUITE BUSH FROM SPREADING.

IT REALLY IS AMAZING WHAT RAIN CAN PRODUCE. GREEN GRASS AND FULLSTOCK PONDS. WHAT REFRESHING BEAUTY GOD CAN BRING US WITH LIVING WATER.

STOCK POND # 2 IS FULL AND THE STREAM THAT RUNS THROUGH THE SOUTH PART OF THE RANCH IS RUNNING REAL GOOD. WE HAVE PLUM THICKETS ALL OVER THE RANCH BUT IT LOOKS AS THOUGH A FREEZE IN APRIL WILL KEEP US FROM ENJOYING FRESH PLUM JELLY THIS YEAR.

WELL IT IS TIME TO FIRE UP THE COOKER AND REST A LITTLE FROM OUR EXPLORATION OF THE CANNON RANCH. THANKS PA PA J.C. AND GRANNY MARIE FOR WHAT YOU STARTED. THANKS C.A. FOR CONTINUING THE RANCH AND THANKS C.J. FOR CARRYING ON THE GENERATIONS AND THANK YOU CANNON JOSEPH FOR LENDING YOUR NAME TO THE RANCH. IT REALLY IS A GIFT FROM GOD AND WE ALL THANK HIM FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS.

HAVE A GREAT MOTHER'S DAY.
