Wind Farm in Texas

June 28, 2010 Lana

We interrupt the usual REMODEL posts to share our road trip.

IMG_3694Just got to say, I love my man!sweet hubs I like adventures.  He likes to build things.  We cater to each other’s needs.  He bought me an AWESOME camera and lets me take weird roads in the middle of nowhere to get pictures.
I let him tear up our house.

Road to the windThis was a road in honestly… no-man’s land.Windmills GaloreWe didn’t even see a tractor or a cow.win win windJust these beautiful things.lonely windmill 1 I’m not sure if you call them windmills or green energy.lonely windmill 2 They look like lady’s legs dancing through the air.Lonely WindmillWe had heard that they were noisy but we didn’t hear anything.1 I’ve always been interested in windmills.  I like the whole idea.2 Using the wind to make energy.   I like using natural resources that God has given us such as the wind to make a/c in my home.3 Because I like to stay cool.  I live in Texas where it is not cool.4 To tell you the truth – I have no idea if my energy company uses these and I’m okay with that.  I have other things on my mind at the moment.  Like…5 getting our remodel done.  And getting a new a/c put in our house because ours is on the blink.
Back to the windmills… 6 These things are huge!  We drove up to one.

We didn’t see any signs saying “no trespassing” or I assure you my hubs would not have driven up to one.

7 Did I mention – HUGE???8 Here is the door…oh, I really wanted to go up and touch the stairs.  But, I got scared.  Yep, the gigantic blades turning are quite frightening.  10 So, next time Mr. Windmill – Be forewarned!
I’m touching those stairs.
In fact, I’m contacting someone and asking permission to enter and go up to the top.
(If I do…I kind of hope they deny my request because Mr. Windmill is HUGE!)

If you are ever close to Corpus Christi, you can’t miss this gigantic wind farm.

And if you are a bird – watch out!

Blessings to you!  You are loved!

    Did I know you were in Texas? Why don’t I remember that? I do love those windmills. They look kind of majestic standing there…all peaceful and powerful. I’m glad you took a little break from remodeling. Lisa~

    We have some of these on our island. A windmill company actually wanted to *cover* our island in them, but there was a bit of a hoo-ha.
    They are probably the size of the ones you saw – seems like the same proportion with the wee hut at the bottom.
    Unlike you guys, we don’t have it hot. Barely even warm. Even in summer 🙁
    So next time you wanna complain about the sun and the heat, just think – you could be like us!
    Love, Anne (in a very cool – even for us – island, west coast of Scotland, wishing for more sun and more warmth….!) x

May the LORD bless you and keep you; May the LORD make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; May He turn His face toward you and give you peace. Feel free to leave a comment - we LOVE to hear your thoughts! ~Blessings to you!~ ~You are so loved!~ ~Lana (Like Banana)~
