Thursday's Photos...

The past few days have been a bit hectic but things finally seem to be calming down...I tried to post these photos last night but it seems Blogger was having technical difficulties...


Young hawk in the pasture

We had a Huge Storm coming in and I was in a hurry to get to town and back home before it hit...When we got to the end of the driveway there was a Turkey/Gobbler serenading a Turkey/Hen and he was gorgeous, plus 3 hawks all within 30ft of each other and I didn't have the camera, sigh! I whipped the truck around and headed back to the house while Michael was whining and yelling at me...Yep he was still sick. We spent Weds afternoon at the doctors office and Michael had to have blood drawn for the first time in his life, he wasn't happy. But he didn't make a peep or move a muscle, I was so proud of him. Thursday we got the results back and had a prescription to pick up, well that was after I returned to the house...grabbed the camera, snapped a photo of the only remaining bird and took off for town, lol...I love to multi-task!

Did we make it home before the Storm hit, Nope...But it was close. I was 10 minutes out when it hit and the oh so beautiful rain came down!! We received 1.5 inches of rain and lots of Lightening and Thunder...

I did take the camera out in the evening...A puddle, Wow! It's been so long since we've seen a puddle and of course my cohort in crime was with me, sigh!

The clouds of the storm after it passed...looking SouthEast.

I was looking for the Morning Dove nest and found a Cardinal nest...

Yeah the Morning Dove eggs made it...I'm sure Lydia will have a feast before too long.

My truck got a well needed bath. I was shocked at how clean it was and captured a good reflection...

The sun in the evening sky...
So glad we got some rain and really hope we get some more soon, we need it!

Yep it doesn't take much to make south Texans happy. Just a few mud puddles will do fine. We didn't get our second one today but are very thankful for what we did get.

Amen to the puddles! We got 1.6 inches and that was cause for celebration! Love the hawk but Lydia in the puddle takes the prize...crazy cat! Hope your brave boy is feeling better.
