Ladybug from Texas

if you put out seed...

they will come....

I just wish I would get a few fancier ones...

 

the blue jays and cardinals tend to stay away from the feeders...

 



this was a group that flew off when we started flying the kite...

 



I had forgotten just how many questions a 3 1/2 year old can ask...

and how simple answers are no longer good enough...

Hubby and I were talking about how deep our subjects

with Hotrod get now....Boy oh Boy...

On Monday we took Hotrod to a local thrift store...

he loves going there...

we ran into a little boy in the toy area...

this little boy was 4 and his name was Eric...

well I don't know where Eric's adults were...

but he became attached to us...they

were looking at the toys together...

Hotrod picked up a toy...it was a little noise maker type thing...

he told Eric...Hold out your finger...

so Eric did...

then Hotrod said...

"watch out boy...this is a finger getter"

hmmm a famous line his Pawpaw uses a dozen times a day...

Eric didn't get the humor of it...

but Hotrod was sure proud of himself...

then Hotrod told Eric...don't touch that...it's breakable...

two seconds later...Hotrod was grabbing a coffee cup...

I said didn't you just warn Eric about the breakables...

he just gave me a grin...and moved on...

oh this boy is a Hoot to travel with....



I'm starting to believe he is a little Dennis the Menace...

good intentions...but a tad bit mischievous...

well maybe a lot bit mischievous...

a heart of gold...

but maybe a few horns under that Halo...

 



The blue bonnets are blooming...

Texas state flower...

every spring families run to have their photos taken with them...

a Texas tradition....
