Summer is on the horizon....

I decided I need to get as many photos of the property and wildflowers as possible as they will be gone soon :o(

I had planned on starting to shred/mow soon and took Michael over to the property after school to play with the camera...

Prickly Pear Cactus Bloom amongst the darn Bull nettles!

I played with this photo and I still don't like it...grr...It was overcast today and I kept blowing out the sky trying to get photos of the pasture, frustrating to say the least!

Love this photo!

I was fighting the wind today, it was really blustery out...So when all else fails grab hold of it, lol...I got a decent photo of the sunflower!

Michael was in the truck with the windows rolled up, ugh! I guess the pesky mosquito's were attacking!

He cracks me up!!

Goof ball!

The kids pool down at the creek...Green, Green, Green!

Actually we are in desperate need of rain. The 3.5 inches we had a few weeks ago isn't stretching far enough!

Time to mow the path...Yes there is a path there, somewhere?
About this time Michael was in the truck yodeling, ekkk...I guess his patience had run out! Time to go home!

He scored an A on his 1st grade assessment test and I let him pick out a Lego Star wars kit as a reward. I was so proud of him! It was time to head home and play Lego's!

On another note it seems one of the Texas critters decided to bite me...not sure if it was a spider or tick. I had a bite with a bulls eye so I decided to have the doctor check it out...seems I'll live, but in the meantime he put me on some meds and I found out that I cannot be out in direct sunlight while taking them, I'm NOT happy! Being it's been 90 something it's just too Hot to wear long sleeve shirts and jeans...So for 10 days my nature photos may take a dive...but they will return. And there are always indoor photos of my goof ball son and his dog and cat...

Boys will be Boys!!

Lori and I were in the house and we wondered what the boys were up too! We thought they were playing in the sandbox, NOT!!

They had the wagon full of water and were playing in it, ekkk...

When they all climbed in the wagon together it was the perfect picture!!

Can you remember doing this in the summer, Oh those good old summer time memories!!

I think this is going to be a GREAT summer for the boys!

Happy 7th...

Anniversary Babe!

I feel so blessed that God brought us together and love you with all my heart...Thank you for the 7 wonderful years together and may there be many many more....Love You!

Over the weekend...

Here's a few photos I took over the weekend...it was a busy busy weekend but I couldn't NOT take photos for a little bit!

We found this baby Scorpion in a pail in the well house, along with several Black widow spiders too, ugh!!

Our Pastures are still full of wildflowers...I'm waiting for them to go to seed so I can Shred.

Pretty blooms but this is one plant that Michael knows to stay away from...It HURTS! Bull Nettles!

Possibly a type of clover...pretty purple bloom.

Beebalm and others...

Texas stars and they are all over and gorgeous!

Okay so I really don't have one particular favorite wildflower...but then again I do...I love this one above...it's a sensitive plant and I absolutely adore the blooms...They remind me of fireworks. If you touch the leaves they close up and that has always fascinated me...I didn't use the tripod and need to go back and get some better photos with the tripod...just gorgeous!

Indian Blanket and others...

Michael spotted this one on a Bull Nettle....We have caterpillars all over the place...you can't help but step on them when you walk, ewww....guess they're making up for the drought the past couple of years!

Ooops...maybe this is my favorite wildflower, lol...He is kind of cute and he does put up with me stopping to take photos here and there, lol..."Oh Mom, NOT again"...sheesh!

I did some of this, this past weekend too, lol...How I love my Hammock! First time in 6 yrs I've been able to put it up...Nothing like a cool breeze, shade, good book and a Hammock!

Dad and Fred working hard....

Discussing the Bridge and how it looks!

I was actually trying to get a better photo of them but they weren't having anything to do with me and the camera, lol...After this photo they both turned their backs to me, ekk...Guess it was time to put the camera up and get back to work!

~

We were busy but it's nice to see things get accomplished and leaves you with a good feeling...I have some more photos to share and also some ideas for scrapbook layouts so stay tuned and hopefully I'll get to them soon!

Happy Mothers Day!!

I hope y'all have a

GREAT Mothers day

and that your able to enjoy the day!

I love my boy and feel so blessed to be his Mother!

On another note....Dad had to be the first one to drive a truck over the bridge, lol...He deserved the honor for all his help! Need to add a bit more dirt and then comes the concrete, Yea!

We'll actually be working down there on Mothers day but I don't mind, it's fantastic to see how much we've accomplished!

Friends....

What a Boy!

Michael gave me a silver puff heart charm and a foot massage tonight...I told him it wasn't Mothers Day yet but he said he had plans for me all weekend.

I'm feeling a bit spoiled at the moment....

(P.S. My heart charm has no engraving on it and I love it)
