Things that made me smile....

 I think my renegade zinnias are prettier than the ones from spring...

 the sun coming up.....
 rennegade morning glories...
 the moon hanging out in the middle of the day....

Changing skies...lot's to look forward too...




changing skies of Texas....
we had summer weather last week...
then the winds came....and dropped the temps...
the weather is more Fall like now...
so much going on....
names have been drawn for Christmas...
we draw names in our immediate family...
(except for Little Britches) he gets Santa...
this year our gifts have to be homemade...
re-gifted...or come from thrift store or yard sale......
it can be a special day for that person....or special event...
it makes it more fun...less commercialized...
makes you put more thought into it....
what are your traditions on gifts?
