Watery Wednesday

Wordless Wednesday

Today I'm joining World Bird Wednesday...

There has been a lot of bird activity going on here in Texas...

with our spring like weather...

I've really enjoying being able to spend more time outdoors...

so has little britches....

I haven't been a great blog pal the last several days...

when little britches goes home...

hubby and I have been taking Rooster to the park...

by the time we get home...eat dinner...

I'm pooped out...

I've even fallen asleep with my laptop in my lap...

Little britches and I have been digging in the dirt...

getting my raised beds broken up...

won't be long and we can start planting....

I'm hoping our garden does better this year...

Happy leap year day everyone...

February always goes by too fast...

even with an extra day....

when we were at the lake the other day....

I saw these turkey buzzards flying around...

at first I thought they could have been hawks...

they look so pretty flying in the sky...

not so pretty up close...

but they have their duties to perform...

we had another nice day today...a little cloudy off and on...

but an overall nice day....seems like I've been talking

about the weather alot lately...

one thing about it...there will always be weather...

so if all else fails...you can discuss the weather...

sending out prayers to the families of the students shot in Ohio...

a real tradegy....

Little Britches got a real big boy hair cut this weekend...

with clippers...

he looks like such a big boy now...

Spring is in the air in Texas....

along with the sneezes and watery eyes...

but it is worth is to see these....

I love Iris'...

all mine came from my Mamaw...

and hubbies Grandmother...

they both brought them here from their farms...

when they moved to the big city...

Iris' are a great heirloom plant...

can be passed from generation to generation...

started doing a little yard work yesterday...

my patio was a mess from the winter...

had to do a little little britches proofing....

cactus had to be moved to a new location...

cactus and little busy hands don't do well together...

we had another beautiful day for being outdoors...

I still need to get a new cover for my glider...

I have found a queen or king size sheet works great...

they usually last 6 months or so...

I find them at the thrift store for a couple of bucks...

change colors and designs for a fresh look...

Happy Monday everyone....

We had a beautiful spring day on Saturday....

Today I'm joining World Bird Wednesday

I guess I got busy and forgot to post this yesterday...

spring weather...guess it has got my brain in a tizzy...

It seems like this week has been in fast motion...

little britches and I did get to take a nice walk..

well I walked he road in the wagon...

we saw lots of signs of spring...

lots of bird action going on...

getting ready for the new spring arrivals...

spring flowers popping up...

lots of weeds too....

we were around 80 degrees...

loved every minute of it...

every evening we have had something to do...

so I'm behind on visiting...hope to get caught up soon....

Sailing....

there is something magical about watching a sail boat...

I've never been on one....

but love to watch them on the water...

it was fun watching him getting his boat on to the lake...

the whole time I had this song in my head...

Sailing....

Takes me away

To where I've always heard it could be

Just a dream and the wind to carry me

And soon I will be free

Fantasy

It gets the best of me

When I'm sailing

All caught up in the reverie

Every word is a symphony

Won't you believe me

 

It's not far back to sanity

At least it's not for me

And when the wind is right you can sail away

And find serenity

The canvas can do miracles

Just you wait and see

Believe me
