So glad you didn't get any damage and your brother didn't either.  What a mess in Runaway Bay and Mineral Wells. The clean up is overwhelming.  

Happy Thursday!

The last day of April and we are still getting showers!  

While we were blessed not to have any damage, I can't say the same for others in the North Central Texas area.  I hope you haven't had any bad storms!  

The rain doesn't come in colors but rainbows do.  We are ready for beautiful rainbows now.  

There is standing water after each shower with puddles just waiting for me!  

I will say the grass is green and it really needs mowing.  We almost can't see the dogs in it.  I hope you have enjoyed a month with just the right amount of rain!  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Wednesday is another day with possible rain on and off.  

When you are gathering up things for a rainy day, don't forget an umbrella.  

You can't always be lucky enough to find one along the way.  However, this one doesn't look like it will keep you very dry in the blowing wind and rain.  

Maybe you will find a friend that will share it with you!  

If you do have your own umbrella, then kick up your heels and have some fun.  I still do this barefoot going to the mailbox on a rainy day.  

Also if you have one, don't forget kindness and share it with others.  

Tuesday is for Tacos on the Beach this week!  

Palm Trees swaying in the breeze.  Can you hear the water lapping on the beach?  

Turtles are swimming in the clear water checking you out!  

As night starts to fall the temperatures begin to cool.  

Always be on the lookout for jelly fish especially as it begins to get dark.  

Lightning off in the distance gives you time to pack up and head for cover.  Hope you had a fun time dreaming of the beach!  

Here we are!  We are up and ready to face Monday!  

The sun is up and it is time to get a move on the day!  

Don't forget to share a hug and a kiss and show some love.  

No matter how far apart we are, we all need to love each other.  

Be sure to take time to smell the flowers that are blooming this Spring.  

Whatever else you do this week be sure to SMILE with Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Sunday is one of the best days of the week.  

All of God's creations fascinate me!  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Laugh, Love and have fun all day !  

It's a good thing!  How does anyone start the day without coffee?  

Our 3 dogs think that treats are unlimited everyday!  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

I love finding new roads and seeing where they lead me.  Hope your Saturday is an adventure too!  

Did you ever get to ride in a station wagon growing up?  Was the back seat facing the front or looking out the back of the car?  

Did you ever have a convertible?  We rented one when we flew into Dallas one year in the middle of a very hot summer!  You couldn't even touch the steering wheel with the top down without burning your hands.  

We still love the real old vehicles.  We enjoy the car shows and looking at all the different years and brands.  

I can't imagine having a car that looks that good that does not run.  But I do love flowers a lot and think this is an eye turner for sure.  

As we get older, we just want a car that gets us where we want to go and a house that doesn't need repairs.  We put down 8 more bags of mulch so a house with flower beds looks less inviting too!  Hope you enjoy your weekend!  

Thursday already?  The month is half OVER!!!  

Sing it out loud and all day long!  I can hardly wait for the new Dale Watson album to be released!!!  New Album "Unwanted" has my favorite song, "If You Really Loved Me (Outlive Me)". 

Listen for the Holy Spirit and Trust what He tells you!  

I hope you know how strong you are and how far you have already come in life.  

Falling asleep to some music or the bible being read to you will kickstart your day.  

Good Wednesday morning!  Rain or Shine it is a beautiful day!  

This picture of Livvy, next door neighbor, loving a Giant Turtle brought back memories to me.  

Growing up, we had turtles in our backyard.  We would find them on the side of the road going to and from the 500 acre Ranch we had in South Texas.  We would number them with fingernail polish and be careful when mowing.  

Our granddaughters have raised these turtles from little ones in an aquarium.  

Wayne made their first home in a metal water trough with a spraying fountain.  

They are in a rubber stock tank home now as they have grown.  

God's creatures are all so different and amazing.  What pets did you have growing up?  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Trust in your Faith to make this day the best day of your life! 

This beautiful Tuesday is for the Birds! 

And of course this peaceful day is for the Bees too!  

We can't forget the joyful feeling we get when we see a Parrot.  

Or the awe we feel when we are treated to the sight of a Woodpecker!  

All over the world there are so many different kinds of birds and we are grateful that our Lord created each of us unique and He loves each of us the most.  Be Blessed!  

You are NOT 110 either!  hehehe

count 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

How's it going?  

Sunrise on a Spring Monday Morning is usually so beautiful.  

The birds are happy and have been enjoying the nectar.  

Spring plants are all blooming and smell so good.  

The colors of the plants "pop" especially from a distance.  

Everything now is getting a drink of water.  It is April showers after all.  

But if we have too many more days of rain, plants and people may get root rot.  Enjoy whatever the weather brings you all the days of this week.  Joy and Love!

Are you getting rain this Sunday morning?

Saturday is such a fun day!  I hope you enjoy every minute!  

This year we did not get the rain at the right time of year to have lots of bluebonnets.  

I have very few bluebonnets that came up this year.  Nothing like this site as you drive through "The Texas Hill Country".  

Everyday it is important to be yourself and let your light shine!  

No matter how you see the world, go out and enjoy your weekend!  

Do you know what day it is???  

That's right and the fun begins this afternoon.  

Let your light shine and still have fun!  

You know Spring is here when you start to see butterflies.  

I haven't seen one this colorful but I hope it does exist.  

However, I know this is real because I took this picture.  I hope your Friday is joyful and full of the beauty all around you.  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Thursday and the weekend begins just after the moon sets again.  

Sometimes the moon can be seen just after sunrise.

Every now and then the moon can be seen in the late morning.  

Often it can be seen just before the sun sets for the day.  

In the middle of the night you might get a chance to capture a picture of an airplane going past the moon.  

But only the astronauts were lucky enough to capture this picture when they were on the dark side of the moon.  

Wish others would come back here.  I love this site.  

Wednesday is here and the weather has been perfect this week.  A little cold in the mornings but opened windows during the day with temperatures in the low 70's.  

This was me last weekend and it will be me again this weekend.  I love rain, thunder and lightning!  

Can you imagine the trash that would be everywhere, peelings and all?  Only in a perfect world would this work.  

I remember a friend once that couldn't even keep an Air plant alive.  I am so thankful for my green thumb.  

Plants can make you feel so good looking at them and especially smelling them.  

I really can't have tooooooo many plants.  How about you?  Blessings & Hugs!  Pam

Tuesday for us means Taco Plates and errands!  Woo Hoo!  

Spring means all kinds of birds.  I have hundreds of videos from our Bird Ring Cam but have yet to catch a hummingbird at the feeder on my iPhone.  

When they are at the feeder, by the time I get my phone, get the camera app open and zoom in, they have zoomed away.  

They are the most adorable creatures and most of the time they are in our area even though they fly from Mexico to Canada.  

Don't forget to plant things that the hummingbirds love to keep them around as well as a feeder full of sugar water, 4 cups water to 1 cup sugar.  

It is a new week and what do you have planned?  

Sometimes this is a hard thing to do, just to have faith that everything will work out to your best interest.  

Friends are there to help you along the way.  

Do the right thing and be there to help others along the way.  

Follow your heart and share kindness and love wherever you go.  

Blessings & Hugs!  Pam
