Monte and I drove out Highway 290 on Sunday. It was a really lovely day for a drive.
Autumn means pumpkins!

Autumn zinnies!

Autumn wine on the veranda!

A good day.

A good day.
It’s been raining since the end of April in Central Texas. A weird happening. It’s so humid and WET outside. The plants are loving it though.
Life is good on the ranch.
I planted this impatiens last spring. I typically lose my annuals over the winter and just plant new ones in the spring. I babied this one through our warm winter and it has rewarded me with these beautiful late-winter blooms.
Pretty poinsettia.
I passed a front yard full of dahlias in bloom today. This one was leaning over the chain link fence for me to take its picture.
I spent a great Mother’s Day with my mom and 3 sisters and many of my niece/nephews. We also took a trip to Tacoma to visit my brother’s family who just welcomed his first grandkid into the world. A nice day indeed. The array of colorful flowers that explode here every spring is staggering. This is a beautiful place year round, but especially this time of the year. This is one shot from my mom’s backyard.
Pretty!
Ok, i have a bit of work to do to figure out how to actually use the camera in the phone and to see if the teensy tiny phone gui is worth posting from. My first try was a bit of a fail. I have to admit that I needed to clean it up from the browser on my laptop.
Anyway, who cares, it’s Friday!
Friday. February 8th. Day 9 of the crit sit from hell. Stay tuned.
I went outside for the first time in like a week today. This is a shot of one of he pansies that monte planted a while back. Still hanging in there. Life goes on around me.
Monte went to the blood center the other day to donate. He came home with a(nother) t-shirt, and a bouquet of flowers that they were giving away to donors. It had a bunch of these little green button poms. Cute as a button….
I like how the shot looks like a little burst of sunshine on an otherwise grey day.
Yep. Another zinnia – hot pink. The zinnia patch still has some legs. Have great week!
