Catching a Glimpse at Life on Lake Ray Roberts

Having a Reely Good Day on Lake Ray Roberts

In Cooke County, Texas

No, no, you didn’t read that wrong. And yes, I spelled it right. How so, you ask… Well, the reason is that we are going to talk about enjoying Lake Ray Roberts in North Texas.

One such way to enjoy Lake Ray Roberts is by fishing. Whether you and the kiddos load up early in the morning, or you and some friends climb aboard a guided tour.

Making Memories on Lake Ray Roberts

First of all, fond childhood memories are created waking before the sun to find that best fishing spot. Filling your thermos with coffee (hot cocoa for the kiddos) and tossing some fruit and snacks into a lunch pail for later. Piling in the truck and driving to the store for some worms and/or minnows.

Then arriving at that best spot on the bank and tossing a line in. Unfolding some chairs and taking a seat as the bobbers float and the sun peaks over the horizon. Or, perhaps, you prefer fishing from inside a small boat. Out in the middle of the lake finding that school of fish huddled in their hiding spot. Nothing but the sound of the boat gently tapping the water as the waves come and go.

Of course, fast forward to Summer and Lake Ray Roberts is a place to take the family and cool off. There is plenty of space to have a family picnic or cookout. While the burgers cook, watch the kids splash in the water off of the shore which looks just like the beach. Off in the distance some passing sail boats may catch your attention. The sounds of laughter, chatter, splashing and jet skis are all part of a North Texas summer on Lake Ray Roberts.

Lake Ray Roberts Nature

Indeed Lake Ray Roberts is also the place for those who are just looking for a relaxing nature stroll. Leash up the dog(s) and lace up those walking or running shoes. Enjoy strolling along the trails observing the sights and sounds of the season. Thick, lush trees and foliage clothe the trees and landscape in the spring and summer. From the trees along the path you may see an Indigo Buntings, the Scissor-tailed flycatcher or a Western Kingbird. Fall brings with it gorgeous leaves of red and orange. Decorating the drab, leafless trees during the cold season are cedar waxwings, goldfinches, spotted sandpipers, yellow-bellied sapsuckers, winter wrens, to name a few. With all of this talk about birds, let’s not forget the tall, long-legged egrets.

Certainly, Lake Ray Roberts has something to offer every member of the family each season of the year. What will you do on your next visit?

A Look At Valley View, Texas from the Backroads

Enjoying the North Texas Countryside

From the backroads of Valley View

Valley View, TX has so much to offer her residents. This small town has no grocery stores, but abounds with several convenience stores and a variety store offering necessities. Those living just on the outskirts of town appreciate these conveniences for that quick trip for milk or gas. However, this North Texas countryside has so much more to give those who want to get away from the sounds of the city.

To begin with is the peaceful tranquility of the country. Just the sounds of a few cows and perhaps the neighbor’s dog barking as the delivery truck drives by. Oh, and the sounds of the birds visiting each season.

In fact, there is nothing like sitting on the porch sipping coffee and listening to the birds wake the countryside up with their early morning chatter. Admire the roadrunners as they scurry across the street and across your property. These tiny birds look nothing like the famous roadrunner of our childhood. Have you ever heard their sound? They sound like a playing card in the spokes of a spinning bicycle tire. Not something you would hear in the busy city streets.

North Texas Comforts of the Country

Then there is the mind calming presence of a pond. When work and life’s responsibilities have your mind going in too many directions just take a stroll down to the pond. Just stand at the edge of that pond and listen to the water gently trickle. Watch the small circles form on the water when the tiny minnows come up for air. Careful! A frog might just jump from the grassy edge into the pond after those minnows. What a beautiful spot to wash away the day’s worries!

Also, there is the opportunity for growing and raising your own food. From livestock and poultry providing milk, eggs and meat, to crops providing herbs, fruit and vegetables. Making the dependence on a supermarket less necessary. And with the over abundance that grows, many stands can be found along the backroads selling meat, dairy and produce. Most using the honor system for payment. One mustn’t forget the bees and their honey. A delicious natural sweetener, local raw honey is also packed with medicinal properties the store bought variety lacks. Local raw honey is also beneficial for those suffering from allergies.

Lastly, one of the best landscapes for watching the sun kiss the trees each morning or those hypnotizing colors of pink and orange paint the evening sky is the North Texas countryside! All part of another peaceful day on the farm on the North Texas backroads of Valley View.
