Took me a few shots to get these two...it was beautiful to watch! As of yet we haven't had any rain, but I washed the truck today so I'm sure we'll get some rain.









Thursday Morning Photos...

My Sage is blooming down to the property and it is so pretty. This lone plant was an experiment. I wanted to see how well it did handling the drought conditions we've had the past few years and then our winters have been pretty darn cold too. It seems to be doing just fine. When we get our house built I plan on landscaping around the house with Texas plants and I think the Sage has passed the test...

A Scorpions stinger...Ouch!



I found two of the little darl'ins in the bottom of the pool this morning. They are out and about and I had to get these two out of the pool before Mr. Michael saw them or he would have freaked out, lol...He hates scorpions!



Our landlords Bull calf, looking nice. I hope they keep this one and get rid of the other one!

It's a gorgeous morning out, time to get busy!

Autumn Blooms and Bugs in South Texas

Are you ready for a little Autumn color? I was going to break up the photos but decided to give you a long blog post to check out, enjoy!



It's a weed and it's blooming so it's a wildflower but as to what it is I am not sure...the bloom is about the size of a pencil eraser, very tiny!!

A visitor in the pool...

Aunt Diana, also known as Tia Anana to Michael, came for a swim today...


Michael loves Tia Anana and loved having her come swimming with him today!


They're both pretty special in my book!
