It's just one of those days....

 I laughed so hard, tears were rolling down my legs!!

Old age support [R rated] sorry, just had to add this somewhere on my post.



My doctor told me to begin my exercise routine and build it up gradually.  My first step was to drive past a store that sells sweat pants!!

Never, NEVER iron a 4-leaf clover....that's pressing your luck!

Question:  Who's this moderation dude that they keep telling me to eat and drink with?

Have you ever had a day that seemed like another day [for instance it's Monday, but it felt like Sunday]?  And it wasn't?  Well, today, I think I'm back on track...it's a Saturday, and I'll post my weekly set of photos. As I mentioned in the previous post, our back yard is all abloom with climbing roses and my Tombstone Rose [in Tombstone, Arizona, they have the 'world's tallest rose'...a tombstone rose, scientifically known/named the Lady Banks Rose]. Since living in Arizona, and seeing the 'tallest rose' I always really liked the soft, delicate petals and the tiny leaves. So, when we relocated here, to Texas, it was one of the first plants I added to our raised flower garden. And along with this Lady Banks, I planted, side by side with it, a Don Juan Climbing rose to intermingle and have more color from Spring to Fall. This past month, with the damp mornings, the dew was heavy-laden on the blossoms and leaves...

...and being that this will be posted on Saturday, tomorrow is Easter. Altho, I didn't go 'overboard' with decorating for the holiday, I did manage to have the spirit of the season and brought out just a few things to get in the mood...

...with our taking of time out from the mundane routines this past month, we drive somewhere to walk short distances. Of course, most times it's on the hunt for birds to photograph. On this particular post, I share one I took through the door window of the car....hence the 'green' color from the tinted window shows up a bit. The other one, looking high into the sky directly above us, a huge flock of white Ibis flew overhead!!

...returning to an area in and around some of the nearby ranches, I spotted this double gateway to some ranch land property:

Then, one morning this past week, the sky was a brilliant blue as we walked the woods. But the woods were not an enjoyable area this certain time of day!! The dew on the grass, walking through the heavy canopy, the mosquitoes!!! Oh the mosquitoes....they were so thick, flying into our noses, clinging to our repellant soaked clothes, attempting biting through the material of our vests...I swear, if they could have, they would've carried us off to dine on our blood for days! Needless to say, we didn't stay long. Long enough to take a few photos of hawks flying overhead...then, back to the car to leave. And guess what was there at the car to greet us? Yep, you guessed right....MOSQUITOES!!! [the hawk photos will be posted/shared at my birding blog sometime in the future]

...actually, come to think of it, we shoulda known better than to walk in such dense growth after so many weeks of rains and standing water.  It was infestation week for flying, annoying, insects hatching in droves!!!
