Last Friday I didn't post...too busy, I guess.
I took the day off and went to see my mother in Brenham. She had her list all ready: library, post office, feed store, Wal-Mart. We got all of it done in record time, then put up all of her groceries and heated up some beans and some broccoli cheese rice to go with fried chicken. It was a good visit! She seems to be bouncing back from her accident and was in good spirits. So far.
SIGH OF RELIEF.
Hubby cut down the shrubs that were looking poorly - they were 24 years old. In the midst of the rain we have had, I haven't made near enough headway in working on the front landscaping beds, so I feel anxious to get 'er done. Meanwhile, my crepe myrtle is blooming for the first time all summer! I'm looking forward to sunny days where I can really get in there and work on this area.
Do you see it?
While we were loading up the burn barrel on Sunday a shape moved in the leaves and spooked me!
It's a Gulf Coast toad, or a coastal plain toad. Harmless, but it gave me a start.
I also identified these pretty weeds that were covering our little hill - they are Senna Accidentalis, or septic weed.
What a crappy name for beautiful yellow flowers! They have really exploded with all of the rain.
Hubby and I try to eat in whenever we can, although we do enjoy going and doing on the weekends. For Sunday mornings at Highlands, I pack about 4 eggs, some bacon or sausage, leftover fruit from the week, maybe some leftover veggies, and whip up a breakfast feast.
Its the best start to our week ahead!
