She is SO SMART!! All her posts are fascinating. And I wish my hair stuck out like that!! Great hair!! www.threads.com/@astrid_lund...

Ari says "It's dawn, mom. Time to get up and go outside. Time to look at Nature."

Got my husband to drive me up the road so I could video some of the lights. Apparently people moved out here to the country and discovered they were afraid of the dark! I mean, they have lights shining on their houses, in their trees, lining their driveways, outlining their property...crikey!!

Smart Dog Leaps to avoid a puddle! No bath today 😀 #WednesdayMorning

A weavil!

What a beautiful day!! Quite toasty, and lots of blustery breezes.

Only the Dead Have Seen the End of War George Santayana:” “To delight in war is a merit in the soldier, a dangerous quality in the captain and a positive crime in the statesman.” “Only the dead have seen the end of war.” #Philosophy #poet #Santayana #war

The Huz has a zoom trumpet lesson! Turn on the sound.

Another Cinco de Mayo rose - smelling divine - and a red hibiscus.

Fig leaves up high! Beautiful greens against beautiful blues!!

The Chinaberry trees are a beautiful green against the beautiful blue sky! And their flower buds are swelling! It's going to smell heavenly!!

Another Ichneumon Wasp.

Never furminate your dog right after applying sunscreen to your face. Now I can feel little dog hairs stuck on and tickling all over my face...omg!!! Torture! Going to go wash it all off...right now!!

There are lots of Rough Bark Dogwood saplings coming up near the yellow shed spinney. Or copse. I've never really understood the difference.

It's a dead Texas Spiny Lizard! On the space heater in my husband's workshop. It's not hot, dont worry. It hasn't been on since yesterday evening. I'm going to try to mummify it. I *think* I have some flower drying silicon or silicone, whatever it is. #lizard

Wonder what these two are, on my posh toe socks.

It's a beautiful morning after a very stormy night!

Mr. Sykes fell asleep during his toilette! 🤣😂 His foot gradually went down, and then his head eased to the side.

Yoiks! Impressive, n'est ce pas?

No border wall in Big Bend! www.instagram.com/reel/DVq3SFI...

Awwwwww!!! #bunny

I was very excited about the new Mackenzie Crook show, Small Prophets. (I'm a HUGE fan of The Detectorists.) But then I saw a couple of trailers that were not what it seemed it was supposed to be. I was getting depressed! But now I see this and I'm excited again. www.google.com/search?q=Sma...

Despite the drizzle (it's the kind you can walk around in & not get very damp) I am going to get these pansies & johnny-jump-ups planted today! I had never seen blue johnny-jump-ups before, only the purple & yellow ones. I have to be wise about where I plant them since Mr. Sykes loves to eat them.

Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."

Dreary weather, so here i am, pondering the meaning of life. So, everything was here, living right along even before you were born. Then you're born, aware, participating in the livingness. Then you die & everything keeps on living & existing, but you're simply not aware of it. Or are you. 🤔🙄😬 ...

Good morning beautiful Caracara! Thanks for coming so close!

Good morning on this dark and gloomy day!

So he’s surrendering without accomplishing any of his stated objectives while declaring victory. Exactly what we said would happen.

Snail in the car.

They love their fermented feed!

Cinco de Mayo is blooming! Isn't it gorgeous?!

She's having a great time, but i wish she'd fill in the holes afterward! I sometimes step in them and twist my ankle a little.

It's gone!!! The only Paintbrush - clean gone!!!! Deer? Rabbit?? Arrggghhhh!!!!!

NONE of my bluebonnets are up. Very odd. Well, a couple came up - got to be about one inch tall... And only ONE paintbrush so far. Wonder why.

OMG!!! I had no idea we were springing forward last night! I never saw anything online... Well this explains a lot of my confusion today...

The large larvae have gone quiet & buried themselves. I assume they're morphing into adult BSFs. The ramp isn't necessary yet. But what the 'eck. There's a celery stick in case something needs the moisture from it. There's used chicken bedding in there, & there's cardboard for egg laying. 😁

Not a goldfish! 😂 I did a double take... it's a baby carrot. Silly chickens were having a little joke on me this morning.

Buttercup is 9 years old!

Lots of Cardinals!
