Just a few things that I saw and liked...

and I thought I'd share...

(please forgive me for the language in one of them but I thought it was funny)

 ~

 And we all have choices!

~

I'm a realist!

~

Be yourself!

~

This made me laugh...reminds me of Fred and I and our conversations! And we are just joking when we talk like this...we have the utmost respect for each other but we both love lots of humor in our life!

~

This is so true...

~

YeeHaw!!

~

You only get one life, you'd better enjoy it!

~

Love this one too...I can see it happening :o)

~

One of my many quirks...When you are with someone, eating lunch, hanging out, etc. and their phone rings and the next thing you know your on your own while they chat on their phone, rude!! What happened to Respect others?

~

You get the picture at our house, LOL...

~

Isn't this the truth...

~

Some of these I may have posted before but thought I'd leave you with some chuckles and serious comtemplations for the day!! Enjoy it, it's a beautiful day!

Don't hate those from your past who hurt you...but rather give thanks. You have become a stronger person as a result & realize you are better off w/out them.

(someone posted this on facebook and I loved it, so true at times. Consider it a blessing in disguise)

What's around the pool lately...

I took a few photos around the pool today...lots of butterflies!

~

~

One of my favorites...

~

~

Yep the bluebonnets are still blooming!

~

I finally saw a Monarch and managed to get a few photos...

~

~

~

This is an Indian Blanket bloom but it's just not red like the others...I saw several of these blooms down there, cool!

~

Waiting on the Mail-Lady...

Jake came with us to the pool...

~


Love and Adoration for his boy!

~


and Michael returns that love...

~




~


Bird on a wire, lol...(Mourning dove)

It was gorgeous today and I got the pool cleaned this morning. When Michael and I went down this afternoon it was so nice...we had fun and Michael crashed tonight at bedtime, no arguments, he was tired!

~

Just a walk down the driveway and around the yard...

Sit back and enjoy my walk with me...

Buckeye

~

~

Do you know what a group of butterflies is called, I didn't, but I do now...it's called a Rabble.

~

Prickly Pear Cactus bloom

~

I saw this track on top of my tire tracks from earlier...I immediately thought uh oh snake and started looking around...But then I looked at it better and I think perhaps it was a large scaly lizard and not a snake...the tracks were on the sand for about a distance of 10ft before they disappeared.

~

Two different species of Sulphur butterflies

~

He is just starting to get his antlers and he was not paying attention. I snapped a few photos and watched him for awhile before he finally spotted me standing in the middle of the driveway. I spooked him and he shot up in the air a couple of feet before he found his footing and took off. I think this buck might pay better attention next time.

~

I love Daisy's

~

Did you know they are members of the Aster family?

~

~

~

Hover fly

~

~

~

~

Oh my goodness the bees...while walking that is all I could hear was the continous drone of thousands of bees. The bees are happy! Very happy!

One of my favorite wildflowers, Sensitive brier

A closer look at Queen Anne's lace

~

~

Painted Lady

~

~

~

Momma cow

~

Her Bull calf from last year. And yes he is still with his Momma.

(These are not our cows, just wanted to note that.)

~

Caterpillars that a couple years ago Michael and I tried to raise, we didn't have much luck with them. We also have not been able to identify them either. After a week or two they shed and turn black. Now we leave them outside and just watch.

~

One of the few remaining red roses, it's been a great year for roses.

~

And here is the caterpillar in it's adult stage. I think at one time I might have thought they were Sphinx moths but I'm not positive on that identification.

~

I had a nice walk, the sun was out and it was a gorgeous evening.
