Like to take a little walk with me? I usually walk around the farm through the woods for exercise most days when the weather is nice. The trees are just about peak right now in color altho the leaves are falling fast and the wind is blowing. Just grab a little jacket and come along with me on my walk...
Not sure what kind of tree this is along the fence line but it always turns this brilliant orange color. Let's turn along the woodline now. Okay?
I love how the leaves are strewn across our path...Look at the colors... I wonder what's just around that bend in the path up there???
Up a little hill we must go. Are you out of breath yet? Let's keep going!
Oh lookie here! Here's the turtle pond! The pond is down - it's been so hot and dry this summer and we haven't caught up on our rainfall this year yet... Keep an eye out along the bank for snakes!
There's some kind of marker there on that tree - this must be the way! Thank goodness! I sure don't wanna get lost in the woods!
Deer antlers on this tree! Wow. Do you think maybe the Indians that used to inhabit this area put them there for some kind of marker??? Maybe!
The woods smell dark and dank and earthy and moist. Let's keep going...
Oooo - I don't guess these are edible at all but they're kind of interesting-looking, aren't they?
Don't go through this way! There's an old gulch and creek down there over that little ridge. Might be dangerous, might be snakes! Sometimes the water's runnin' high!
But it looks like today it's running dry but you can see the water line on the trees. There are lots of animal tracks in that sand there.
Here's a hickory nut tree that we moved from the deeps woods to this area. I sure hope it makes it. It was being swallowed up by all the trees and couldn't get any sun at all.
Looks like we're getting to end of our walk and we gotta kinda go around this big ole sweetgum tree. It has a big hole in the front here that's sometimes full of water.
Look at this gorgeous, huge Hickory Nut Tree! We've got several and they turn the most beautiful golden color in the fall!

You are a lucky girl to enjoy that walk!! I can almost smell the woods... ahhhhh. Envigorating!!
that was a nice walk....I feel rejuvinated....
Sand Flat Farm looks like my kinda place! The walk was beautiful, but you kinda scared me with all that snake talk!
I enjoyed the walk in those gorgeous East Tx woods. Thanks for posting. Beautiful place you have.
Great sites on our walk. Could I get some hot chocolate now?
I didn't realize that you had all that woodland on your property! It's wonderful to see all the beautiful foliage, too. I could imagine that we were walking through the woods around here except for the snake part. Thanks for letting me tag along.
I love the exercise this morning, yhew! almost out of breath. Actually how pretty of a woods, you don't think of TX and woods. I think I will stay clear of all snake areas, not a fan! Enjoy your day!
Such a beautiful and peaceful walk Miss Vickie! (Well, except for "Jason" and his chainsaw! hehe)
I can't belive how much color you all still have- our leaves have been gone for over a month!
What a beeeeeeutiful walk!
And I'm here to say THANK YOU for taking the time to comment a reply, to my blogging Questions. Thank you!
Gentle Winter hugs...
Delightful. Thanks. Here in N. VA the trees are now bare. It happens just too quickly.
Hi Vickie, thanks for the walk through your beautiful woods. You have a nice path to walk on, too. Our trees here in MO are mostly bare now. Great photos! Have a wonderful weekend. ~Cheryl
Nice tour, thanks for the scenic pictures. I wish I had burned as many calories as you!
It's been very cold here; 20's at night and a high of 34. We may be walking in 1=2 inches of snow tomorrow. I have always loved the woods of East Texas. Wish I could take a walk with you!
I can not believe the colors you still have on your trees. I was doing okay on this beautiful walk until you mentioned snakes. I was ready to head back to the house and drink a hot cup of coffee.
Lol
Have a blessed day.

I enjoyed our walk today. Walking on my own farm is a favorite pastime of mine.
Vickie,
What beautiful property you have, I love your farm! Glorious walk and I didn't even get out of breath just sittin' here scrolling along with you. Happy Saturday!
I loved this walk. Absolutely loved it. And that little hickory nut tree? It looks like a smile.
:) Debi
I enjoyed the walk. I love the bright orange tree right at the start. Didn't love the thought of seeing snakes though.
What a gorgeous place you have.
I enjoyed the walk with you. We have snow on the ground, wind and ice...and there you are with leaves left on the trees. I miss fall! Thank you for the gorgeous pictorial.
Walking in the woods is such a luxury - even after living in North Texas for over 10 years - I still have enough West Tex in me to find it amazing there are trees growing where No Persons planted or irrigated or fertilized - just like a Creator designed woodlands? Thanks for sharing the walk - plenty of interesting sights in the woods and different every single time.
I do like your "neck of the woods". Wish we had that much space. Thanks for visiting my farmhouse. I'll be back to see more.
Beautiful! I wish I could come and walk in the woods with you everyday!
Hugs,
Barb
