What is blooming around here...

 
 
 
The blue bonnets are just starting to come up. I expect by next Saturday the whole back pasture will be blue...I can't wait!

 
 
 

I found a little dayflower in the blue bonnet plants....
 
 

 
In the garden area I have several plants blooming, so love the colors!!

 
 

And my seedlings are growing. I won't be able to plant them until next weekend. I hope they do okay until I can get them in the ground.
 
Here's hoping y'all have a great weekend!!
Pray for rain!!

A family vacation...

This past weekend, for 4 days, we took a family vacation. Fred came with us, the first time in 3 years and it was so nice to have some quality R&R with him. Dawn, Skeeter and the kiddo's met us and we all had a great time in one of our favorite places, Vanderpool Texas (Texas Hill Country). We rented a house on the Sabinal river and enjoyed ourselves.
 
 
Hwy 337 coming in to Vanderpool...beautiful!
 

 
 

My happy boys!
 

Sabinal River, it had some water in it but not much! We sure do need some rain!
 
 

Vinca which is grown for the vine not the flower thus vinca vine per my Mother as this is not a wildflower.


Dacey and Michael trying to figure out how to get Michael's fish off the hook!

Heading home...We took 187 to 470 through Tarpley to Bandera...
 

 
 

It was nice to come home but sure wish our vacation could have been a bit longer. Always nice to get away and relax.
 
Lots of things going on around here and I hope to be back in another week to post more photos!
Y'all take care and enjoy the sunshine!!
