Weekend happenings...

Fred had to work Saturday but had promised to take Michael to the movie Dragon Wars. Fred almost missed out on his promise as he was late getting back from work. We met him at the theater with a clean shirt and missed 15 minutes of the movie. It wasn't a very good movie in my opinion but Michael loved it. He sat on the edge of his seat through most of it and truly enjoyed it. I was laughing at him as he was so intent and jumped at certain parts and then the butter all over his face from the popcorn was so cute...it was worth it going just to watch Michael.

I also needed to buy a magazine called Memory Makers as a good friend Kristen Mosbarger (page 87) has a layout in it!! We are so proud of her, she does beautiful work.

Today (Sunday) we went over to Fred's parents ranch and ate lunch (Barbeque) and I slipped away for a walk and some photos. Got in BIG trouble too for walking off!! Lord Forbid Fred miss his Dallas Cowboy GAME!! LOL...as you can see I wasn't to concerned but by the time I was found somebody was steaming MAD!! UH OH!! So now I'm sitting here on the computer doing my blog and photos and Fred is watching the Cowboys and Michael is watching Tom & Jerry....The day isn't over but everyone is in their spot doing their thing, LOL

Bloom on a plant my MIL calls a butterfly plant. The bloom definitely looks like a butterfly.

Ohio Buckeye

I had found these fruit/nuts last year and had no clue as to what they were. So I took photos and cut one in half for a photo too...I sent the photos to a University plant identification query and received a reply back from a professor that it was an Ohio Buckeye...Interesting!!

Berylline Hummingbird

I'm getting ready to send photos of this hummingbird and others of one like it I took at our house to get a definite id on it. I think it is a Berylline but it could also be a buffbellied Hummingbird, I'm just not positive on which one it is. It says the Berylline is rare in South Texas, more common in Mexico...

This is a Golden-fronted woodpecker. I had a really hard time getting a decent shot as I was looking up at him and he kept jumping around on the tree.

That is it for the moment....
