Mighty pretty...

 
 
The sunset this evening!
 
We had storms coming in this afternoon and just before they reached us they split and went North and South of us, sigh! We had maybe a tinkling of rain but that was early this morning!!
Tomorrow we are going camping with some friends and we can't wait!! Hope y'all have a great weekend!

Just a few...

Photos from my day...
 
 
 We have a young (immature) scissor-tailed fly catcher hanging out around the house. I love these birds, they're gorgeous. Michael spotted it yesterday evening and told me "Oh Mom that bird is so pretty"...His or Her tail will grow quiet a bit longer too...I hope it sticks around!
 
 
There were storms to the West of us this evening and it made for a wonderful sunset!
No rain here, sigh! Hopefully tomorrow!
 
 
 
 
 
 


The hummingbirds this afternoon...

 
The video I took this morning was nothing compared to this one...
 
We have a front fixing to come in sometime in the next couple of days and the Hummingbirds are sure loading up on the feed for their flight further South....I took this just a few minutes ago this afternoon!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 


He's just too darn cute...

I'm going through over 200+ videos on Michael's video camera and I just found this one and wanted to share just how cute he is...This is from November 24 2010...
 
Michael explains the things he loves about San Antonio!!
 
 
 
 
 


The hummingbirds this morning...

 
 
The hummingbirds are in full migration and are swarming the feeders! Thought I'd share what I've been watching the past few mornings!
 
Hope y'all have a Great day!

South Texas Sunset...

My life of leisure is up...

 
 
Michael has been bugging me to go camping and after sitting in the closet for 8 years I broke the tent out...I didn't realize how big our tent was either, ekk!!
 
We bought it when Michael was about 8 months old with the intention of going camping. We went once and it was not much fun so we packed it up...Today I got it out to water proof the seams and make sure I still remembered how to set it up! Next weekend (weather permitting) we are going camping with friends. We aren't actually going far, just down to the property. It's free and I needed to stay close to the house to take care of the animals. I also consider it a trial run. I have plans on taking Michael to different places here in Texas for hiking and camping. I do think if it's just Michael and I going we are going to need a much smaller tent. Love this one as I can stand up in it but we honestly don't need the hassle of such a large tent...
I'm getting a bit excited...I spent a lot of my younger years camping and hiking and loved it, I hope Michael learns to love it too!!
