Oh, you know, just some Spring Hail aftermath.

*sigh*

Whenever it hails, I brace myself for dented and broken stuff everywhere.  I have to close my ears at the deafening noise the ice makes as it slams into everything.

I couldn't really bear to post anything other than the broken branches on the ground.

Happy Birthday, Azmari!

Azmari had his 9th birthday ( now there are officially three 9-year-old boy cousins ) at Stephanie's beautiful new place.


Ever the Homeschool Mom, I was more interested in teaching Jaxon about the lichen on the rocks used for their Xeroscaping. 

We loved getting together with the usual suspects,

and the little boys got to spend quality time together, just being silly, watching TV, having good grub and great times.

I love this photo of the little boy and Sky, both concentrating intently on their tasks at hand :)

Broccoli Insects

The little boy came to me saying that there were Brocolli Insects all over the car.  

When I got there, I saw that whatever had covered the entire car INDEED did resemble little insects that looked like tiny broccoli floret buds.

Nevertheless, they were in fact mesquite flower pieces that had fallen all over the car after a big storm and strong winds :)

Good description though, ya?

Topping Up

Here we go again, a-propane-ing we will go.

Spring Garden

The hubs has worked hard over the years to have different flowers around the house, including a Rose Hedge and Irises and Daylilies in flower beds around a few mesquite trees.

The burst of colors in Spring just takes your breath away.

Let us not forget the amazing Wildflowers either. They definitely deserve a mighty honorable mention :)
