Life in South Texas

~Michael and Julie~

There are a few photos that I have taken over the years that stand out in my memory....

The above photo was taken yesterday and I was truly amazed when I saw it....

It's my son feeding Julie bird a carrot....I love how that one little carrot captures the attention of both of them....they are both so intent on that one little carrot and didn't even notice me!! YES!!

It's a priceless moment and I captured it!!

Julie will be 22 on May 5th and she looks so good for her age...I hope we have many more years with her and I am glad Michael is able to share her with me...She's been a good horse and we love her...

On another note...

I am going on 72 hrs without a cig...YES!! I've had my moments but feel pretty good so far...I've been avoiding the activities that trigger my urge for a cig...one of them being...talking on the phone...Sorry Mom, but be patient with me! If I am able, I try to sleep as much as possible or stay busy, busy, busy...I've taken quiet a few nature photos last week but haven't had a chance to edit them...soon I hope!! Thank y'all for your support, it means a lot to me...and I will do this!!

If y'all have been reading the news there has been some flash flooding in the area....Not in our general area, so we are okay...but there have reports of 4 inches or more all around us...It seems most of the rain has gone North or South of us...My rain gauge happened to get turned sideways in the first wave of rain and wind so I do Not have an accurate count of how much rain we received...I would guess maybe a little over 1/2 an inch...Not much, but better than none...

I am off to the in-laws ranch for some photo therapy...Y'all have a good rest of your weekend and a beautiful start to your week!!
