An Opportunistic Thirsty Cardinal.

Doctor Donna

One of my favorite The Doctor and Donna interactions. Cracks me up each time.

Happy 17th Birthday, Young Man!

My heart.

It is near to not being able to handle The Young Man turning 17. Oh my days.

He wanted to help make AND decorate the cake, so I asked if HE could come up with the design.

Of course, he incorporated Deltarune into the design, which was supposed to resemble the number 17 - following our tradition of Age-Number cakes.

There was no way I could do little fondant creatures or anything like that, so we went with drawn and laminated characters stuck to toothpicks to decorate the cake with.

He was very happy with the gifts as they were (mostly) what he had asked for. :P

Love you to the moon and back, darling boy.

More Night Sky Light Pollution

Not that long ago, I posted about us getting up early to watch a total eclipse of the moon, and how there was the very obvious light pollution from the Humongaloid Data Center that had been built to the West of us.

Well, there is another one that is very close to us, to the North East of us.  And look at what it has done to the night sky in THAT direction.

It's sprouting time.

The Texas Lilacs and Crepe Myrtles are coming to life again.

And a Hummingbird Moth was spotted!

Pretty Lights at Dusk

With different lights strung in the side yard and in the truck, it is quite lovely.

Irises

The irises are still in full bloom and quite lovely this year.  We did remember to feed them some flowering food earlier in the year, so maybe that helped.

Well, Hello Cousin Geoffrey!

The hub's cousin, who resides in Singapore, was in Texas and planned a visit with us.  We got some Mexican food and had al fresco dining and catching up with him.  We basically hadn't seen him since our wedding, if I remember correctly, but had kept in touch on Whatsapp and whatnot.  A good time was had, and there was a lot of reminiscing and remembering days of yore for the 2 men. :)

Pan Mee

When there isn't anywhere you can go to get this, you just have to make your own. It wasn't too bad. :)

After about a week...

The Irises have bloomed! I know..not that much happens around here, so we have to learn to delight in the most mundane but yet lovely things!

Air Fried Donuts

Got some donut silicone molds in the mail and thought I'd air fry some.

They turned out okay, and the boys did enjoy them. :)

When you don't have a garage or car port.

Spring is definitely In The Air.

Look at these lovely Irises peeking out.

Dandelions always remind me of Pororo

Ever since I saw an episode of Pororo with The Young Man when he was a Tiny Little Boy, dandelions have always reminded me of the Little Korean Penguin.

The Very Precise Package

When we got this delivered, The Young Man brought my attention to how precise the weight of the package was.

Like, woah.

The Leftovers Garden

Yes, I replant whenever possible, the veges that we get from the grocery store.  I mean, why not?!?  You get a lot more than what you paid for just by plonking in into a little planter. I think, besides getting extra veges, I like seeing greens grow.

Watching the Lunar Eclipse

There was a total lunar eclipse ( Blood Moon ) for which we got up early to watch. 

And yes, that light pollution over yonder, is an infamous by-product of A Very Large, Massive and Humongous Data Center that has set up shop here.  *sigh*
