Raindrops....


We had some rain...finally.

Not much...about a half inch.  But, it's a start.
We're promised some more this week.

Our weekend was busy.  Our daughter and family made a surprise visit.
So good to see them.  

All good things come to those who wait.  Or, something like that.

Hope your weekend was great, too.

Happy Gardening...

Visitor...


Miss Maggie was pitching a fit outside this morning.  First I thought it was squirrels...they drive her crazy, actually sitting on the fence, teasing her.  Or, maybe the baby deer.  Since they're not much bigger than she is, we think she thinks they're dogs.

But, nope...it was this guy.

I don't know what he was after.  I put out the saucer of water after he showed up.  I thought maybe he was looking for water.  But, he didn't look all that interested.

He's quite handsome...don't you think?  I mean,,,for a turtle.

Last year this time we had another visit.  Is it the same guy?  Why does he come?  And, from where?
Another puzzle to contemplate, in the garden.

I went out a little while later, and he was gone.  Hope he found a good place to hang out.

Happy Gardening...

Visits...







We've been having a lot of visitors here, the last week.  As you know, the deer are frequent visitors....read, DAILY.  These babies are getting bigger.  They're in the back yard every day. 

As you see, they're not afraid of humans.  They came up to see what I was doing.  I'd stepped into the Tree Bed, to take a picture of the agave.

They hang out here a lot.  There is always seed on the ground under the feeders. 


This guy showed up on the front walk yesterday.


Not sure why he came to visit.  He didn't stay long.


This guy showed up in the evening, on the covered porch.  He's a Walking Stick.  According to my Texas Bug Book, he eats plants, but they don't do much damage...unless there are a lot of them.  We'll keep a look out.  For now, he can stay.

Our favorite visit, hands down, was our friend Jann, from Georgia.  She was in Austin, for her granddaughter's high school graduation, and stayed with us for a few days, afterward.

It's been a fun week.  Hope your week, was just as much fun.
