Another grandson is hitting the "High School Graduation" milestone. These years just seem to by flying by at an ever-increasing speed. The rational me knows that is not actually happening, but it sure feels like it. At any rate, the after-work, made dash to Abilene is under way and we arrive at the center with only moments before it is time to go in. That gives us time for a few pics. Yep, crazy hair alert going on here.
Out of the house. That is the plan. Thinking about the lake area where the pelicans hang out has us with that destination in our sights. It's an overcast, kinda wet day and absolutely beautiful at the lake, BUT - very few birds to see. Maybe it's a time of year thing. We're not sure. There are some ducks and geese on land so all it not a total loss.
May has arrived and "Birthday Season" came along too. Well, a shortened one at least. I am leaving town on the 6th so, it's a grab while we can thing.
Today is breakfast at Communion Cafe and we are treated to cartoons this beautiful Saturday morning. Real cartoons. The kind this old woman remembers.
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.
