The New TV

 We replaced our old Samsung TV - it had that dreaded "my internal bits are falling off, and so now you have soooo many bright circles all over your screen that it messes with any sort of viewing" - and had to keep track of our new settings. LOL.

More Flora

We have some busy bees around here, and still keeping a close eye on the baby fruit and berries!

Another Garden Figurine Refreshed

This time it was the cowgirl who had faded all to white.

I found some pics of her online in all her former glory and tried to paint her as true to the way she was as possible.

Them Baby Figs One Week Later

The Silkster

 

Texas Lilacs

The beautiful blooms are out again. And I am sure before long we will have soooo many bees a-buzzin :)

This TV show has ruined Que Sera Sera for me FOREVER. 

And, I have never once watched the opening credits, nor do I think I ever will. 

I started watching it out of curiosity more than anything, and it is not anything I usually choose to watch. It has that car wreck pull though. I can't stop "side-watching" it. 

Yeah. I usually have it on 1/4 the of the screen, to one side of the computer monitor while I am busy doing other er, productive things on the other 3/4 of the screen....so having my eyes averted and focused on other things most of the time is the way I "watch" this show.  

Dang. 

It's been on for several years now, but I've only started watching it. 

Eyes averted, 1/4 only screen real estate, skipping through the opening theme - that's the way I watch it, ain't no shame in it.

Enough about Baby Flora, here's some baby Fauna!

Spotted a teensy weensy Praying Mantis!

Speaking of Flourishing Babies...

The Fig also had some reprieve from those *&^% grasshoppers, resulting in little figgy babies!

Look at this Pretty Little Specimen

The Hazard on the Steps

Unfortunately, this is one of the cat's favorite places to sleep and lounge. *SIGH*

Remember those Blackberry Flowers we talked about?

OooOoooOOooOO

The Boys Got Me Flowers for Mothers' Day

I don't want to jinx it,

but the *whisper* lack of grasshoppers */end whisper* has given the chance to some of the plants to ACTUALLY GROW and go through some other phases of their lives other than just fledgling infancy.

We live in a hot arid area

Hence the abundance of cacti and yuccas

A Sunset Walk

The Weed That Wants To Be More

To be fair, it IS quite pretty.
