An evening walk....

with Lydia in tow...


I was a good distance from the house when I heard the crying...

Lydia was following and crying (wait for me, wait for me), sigh!

She's persistent....

and loves to explore...

~


Posing for me, Ha! Not likely, she's checking out the tree.

~


What the locals call a blister beetle...I think they look like little aliens!

Dew Berries are ripe :o)

Wild rose

I've never seen the blossoms so big before, they're gorgeous.

I even found a tiny little BlueBonnet all by itself...Better late than never.

I found a bunch of prairie onions, they are so pretty.

Lydia is panting...

I decided not to take it easy on her tonight. If she wanted to follow then she was going to walk!

I walked back to the tank. It was getting dark but I wanted to see how bad the water level was. It's drying up, sure hope we get some rain soon.

Texas star

I couldn't miss them they really stood out in the grass but something has been nibbling on the blooms.

Field of flowers

I think Lydia has had enough...she looks a wee bit wild!

I stopped and let her rest for a bit.

Lydia is going to have to carry a little canteen around her neck. John is putting water into his stock tank today. We have a pond near our house here in town and it is almost dry. So sad!

Another great post. Looks like you wore poor Lydia out. Amen to the rain, we need it badly.
