What's happening...

 

Michael is at his friends (Colby and Zac) for a day or two or how ever long Kelly can put up with 5 boys at one time, yikes! He had a rough time right before bedtime but thankfully I can calm him down on the phone and after a bit of nerves and a sick stomach he was okay. Kelly is an awesome Mom and she is my angel. I've been with Michael 24/7 since school got out and it was time we both had a break from each other. From what I hear this morning the boys are up and playing Xbox and all is right with the world...

My plans include trimming trees and mowing. Who knows what will capture my attention and the camera's today. It is South Texas and there are always surprises around each corner.

Here's hoping y'all have a glorious day and that where ever you are a bit of sunshine will be part of your day!!

Black Widow

 

 

I found her on the cover of our gas grill this evening...You can just make out the red hourglass on her belly. She wouldn't show me her belly, darn it!

 

She was huge and very pretty...

 

 

Welcome to my web said the spider to the fly...

 

 

Love her shadow in this one...

 

 

I love living in the country there is always something to see, you just need to stop and look!

 

 

 

 

 



Flowers, bugs, a boy and more from our day...

 

 

I planted morning glories around the garden fence and they finally started blooming!

 

I love morning glories!

 

 

Sat and watched a butterfly on the Zinnias this morning

 

 

 

Michael enjoying the pool

 

 

 

Red-shouldered hawk

 

Michael spotted this praying mantis on the rafters of the deck this evening.

 

My green/brown eyed freckled monster...

 

Stinky is a female and brought her children this evening, uh oh!

 

Michael dropped a watermelon today and it busted wide open. Tonight we sat 10yds from it watching a doe. She didn't care about us she wanted that sweet juicy watermelon. Michael couldn't believe she got that close to us...We are calling her split ear.

At first she was licking it and then she started chewing and biting it...

 

 

Beautiful sunshine today and lots of time spent at the pool.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fawns, Does and weather...

 

 

Little Stomper

 

Some of the fawns and does

 

She spotted me while I sat on the deck and took photos, oops!

 

And she's off...

 

This little one doesn't seem too concerned...

 

 

Mom wait for me...

 

Another doe spotted me and started stomping!

 

Wait for meeee!

 

To precious...

 

I put these white balls in the pool skimmers to absorb the oils from people. We haven't swam for two days and this is from the rain, eww...Makes you wonder what is in the atmosphere??

 

Sun dog

 

Sun dog to the left, a Jets contrail above and neat clouds...

 

Looking North during sunset

 

The sunset...

 

We had a few afternoon heat showers but nothing much. Some really pretty clouds and a relatively calm day at home.

 

 

 

 

Afternoon Heat showers...

Since noon we've been getting some afternoon heat showers today...

 

This is outside our back door right now.

 

For the past 2-3 days we've received 3.3 inches of rain...certainly will help the creek but we need more, like 6 inches or more!!
