She Went Sky Diving . . . Maypearl

Sunday Fun - Bluebonnets and So Much More - Seagoville!!!

Well, once again nature has messed with us and our plans.  However, we are going to get her on our side in a different way.  Since a free day just came about, we are off to Ennis and some bluebonnet peeping.  Yep, we are that old.  Our first stop truly nets the perfect pictures.  I am in heaven.

Easter w/Red Hats

Happy Red Hat Easter!!!  We are gathering on a crazy rainy day in Plano, TX.  Serious water is falling from the sky and just getting in and out of cars is a challenge.  Does it matter?  Well, not to me.  It's Red Hat time and I don't want to miss out unless I have to.

Spycee (Jean) is our Queen for the day this month and upon my arrival, I discover she and Estella have been eagerly waiting for the gang to gather.

Spycee has decorated the table with sock monkeys, one of who dances and it's dang cute but I ruined the video.  You would have laughed like crazy.  He dances and sings, "Here Comes Peter Cottontail."  Perfect.  All my sock monkey lovers would be going crazy.  Obviously, it's the bunny that dances, not the duck.  Okay, okay, technically he just walks across the table while the music plays.

Dallas Blooms Week 6 - Dreary Sky Continues

My plans for this afternoon changed, leaving Mister and I the chance for an afternoon stroll around the Arboretum.  It is week 6 for us at Dallas Blooms and the place is just bursting with color all around.  My eyes cannot take it all in and I don't know where to point the camera next.  The azaleas, oh the azaleas.  What beauty.

Closing Out the Month - in Weatherford

March is leaving.  What???  We have had crappy weekends the entire time.  I want a nice day although it appears I'm out of luck.  Might as well go with it again.  Today we are off to Weatherford for Trade Days and a chance to walk around outside.  Even though it's cold and a little dreary, freezing our butts off beats sitting on them staring at computer screens all day.

Dallas Blooms - 5th Visit and Still Overcast

The sun is just in hiding on the weekends this year.  What can I say?  We woke up to rain but decided to brave it and head for the flowers anyway.  Are you ready for this weeks beauty?  The daffodils and cherry blossoms are done, the tulips and camellias on their way out, but azaleas, wisteria and Japanese maples are divine today.  Here ya go - with minimal commentary.

The aroma hits me instantly, driving my face skyward to see where it is coming from.  I LOVE wisteria.

Dallas Blooms - Fourth Sunday

Four weeks in a row and we are back to the overcast skies.  It doesn't deter us from enjoying the beauty and I cannot tell you how absolutely stunning the cherry blossoms are.  Seriously.  I am in awe this year.  Come along with us on our virtual tour of the gardens this week.
