Easter Weekend has arrived and it's just us again. We've decided a little bit of family would be nice and still have the chance to wander together so we are off to the Lake Whitney area. Jen and her crew are camping there for the weekend and we are just gonna stop by and spend a couple of hours. But first --- coffee. Overflow Coffee Company in T B Bond Emporium is perfect. We are able to nab a seat and people watch for a bit.
We tried and tried to get into a weekend of Dallas Blooms - all to no avail. The new "sign-up, limited availability" makes it almost impossible to go each week like we used to. It also makes me question the value of my membership for the first time. I am concerned that open admission will never come about again and that WILL change my purchasing. At any rate, this week we WERE able to get in with a Member Moring admittance.
I'll just share a few pics for y'all to enjoy.
Valentines Day is on hold for the entire state.
2/14 And so it begins -- wake to this
We had a sure sign of an weather change coming this morning. As I looked out into the yard, birds were EVERYWHERE. Upon closer look, they were robins and cedar waxwings, They were after the red berries on our Lantana bushes. I know, I know -- there is ONE story about how the berries are bad for birds but they come here every year and decimate the bushes about the time their other food sources have stopped. I didn't get very good pictures, but a few are cool. With brown leaves, ya gotta look close.
2/5 It's the final leg. Today we begin the journey home and will only go as far as we wish. A night's stop will take place, thus we can just drive and enjoy a bit. As we leave Provo, the landscape starts changing. We are going through Provo Canyon and as we do, we even see the cabin where a family reunion was once held. Here's a quick LINK to that event oh so long ago.
2/2 - Good Morning!!! It's Groundhog Day and I'm sorry to tell you that we will have six more weeks of winter. It does look a bit cold up on the nearby mountain, doesn't it?
It is the last day of January and we have been crazy fortunate for a winter trip north. The weather has been wonderful. Today, we leave Montana and are heading south to Provo, UT. The hope is to get there before the grands go to bed, so we're off and plan on making very few stops. As we go down the lake shore ---- some last pics to hold us until the next visit.
