Bluebonnet Season Is In Full Swing

It's bluebonnet time in Texas again; they're carpeting the fields and roadways, but I found this little guy all by himself.

Catching Up

Just catching up on some March items I've been meaning to post.

First there was the storm earlier this month.  Luckily we avoided the hail, but it was still pretty bad - one of those where the sky turns a dark, sickening green color.

(Update:  got it to work below)


But as a trade-off, the trees are blooming:

These trees are green with leaves now

Get Ready For A Bunch Of Cat Photos, II

We had our cat KT put to sleep this week after a fairly rapid decline due to kitty cancer - she had an inoperable tumor that was putting pressure on her pancreas and slowly squeezing her intestine closed, causing her to vomit, lose weight, and not want to eat or drink.  She was a good cat and we miss her already.

First day home from the animal shelter; getting over an infection on the nose.

Adventures in Bread Making/Baking

So, there's this thing called bread that you can make at home a lot cheaper and healthier and better-tasting than you can buy in the store.  Have you heard about this?  ;)

Seriously though, I made bread today by hand for the first time ever and it came out great.  It just takes a little time (mostly waiting while it rises), but it was super easy and the results are worth it!

One for the freezer and one for my belly

Now that's a sandwich!

Went For A Walk

But the trail is still closed due to flooding.  Some early spring rain has kept the water level up.

It's hard to see here, but there's another barricade a little further down the path; they really don't want you going through there.

Water levels are still high, and the water has a fast current.
