Good Thursday Morning!

 A gorgeous South Texas Sunset with Venus and the Moon...

And for Throw Back Thursday...

A photo from December 2009 of Michael and Grandma sewing...Michael loved to help her!

I think the hardest part

of losing someone, isn't having

to say goodbye, but rather

learning to live without them.

Always trying to fill the void,

the emptiness that's left inside

your heart when they go.

Good Morning

From South Texas! 

Here's hoping y'all have a Great day! 

 Fred and I worked on finishing the Aviary for the fan-tail pigeons. 

Mom and Dad fan-tail pigeon are sitting on two more eggs and we have 4 babies from this past summer that they raised. We needed more room. 

So I decided an Aviary would be perfect. The youngsters are still getting use to it but I think it's going to work. We have some things to tweak on on it and I need to move it to where it will be for the winter. 

I also talked to a gentlemen Friday, who raises racing pigeons. Something to think about in the future. Right now we are trying to get all the animals situated for the winter. I think the next project might be fencing in more land for the girls (heifers) and Julie (the horse)...

I hope y'all have a great week. 

Beautiful, awesome day....

I took a little trip South to Corpus Christi and went to a Bird Mart. Wow it was so much fun and so many things to buy. I had a limit though...

I decided on a pair of red factor canaries. I use to raise canaries and miss them. Not sure if I will raise canaries but I will love hearing the male sing!  

While washing the love bugs off my vehicle I spotted this gorgeous Sunset....Off I went for the camera and caught it just before the sun actually set (it was behind the tree)....

Broad-winged Hawk Migration

I was outside working this morning when I spotted the Hawks. I love watching and there were thousands of them. 

This photo is just one small batch of one flock and there were 3 other Flocks soaring in the updrafts...

 Broad-winged Hawk migrating South to the tropics! 

I got my work done it just took me a bit longer...I had to sit and watch for awhile...

I wouldn't mind going to the tropics for the winter months :)

Happy First Day of Autumn....

We had a really busy Summer and today on the First day of Autumn I spotted this sweet guy out in the Pasture!! 

Hope y'all had a great summer and are enjoying Autumn. 

Boy I can't wait for Spring, lol....

Happy 4th of July from us....

It looks like we are done with the sparkler stage and moving up to bigger and better fireworks! 

Father and Son having fun...

Hope y'all had a great 4th of July!

Summer time = Busy time

Michael was out of school on May 29 and we haven't stopped going since...

We've been watching the fawns out in the pasture for a while now but tonight I spotted this Doe and she hasn't had her fawn yet...

 So love watching the wildlife around here...

Yesterday we took a break and headed over to Port Aransas for some wildlife viewing and beach time! 

 American Coot, I love his eyes.

 Big Gator, REALLY BiG Gator!!

 Snowy Egret telling the Laughing gulls how it is done...

 He loves the beach...And I love him with all my heart! 

 Michael with his Dad, walking the beach...

Looking South on Mustang Island Beach....

We are having a wake to celebrate my Moms life here in a couple of weeks so once again I am super busy getting things cleaned up and fixed up. At the moment I am doing some work to the pool. I am hoping the tropical storm Bill or whatever it becomes goes further North. But just in case I'll be picking up items that might fly away in the wind...Hope y'all are having a great start to summer and enjoying some sunshine!
