Meanderings of a Mermaid

So sad to think about it but soon it is time to head to Home North. The house is displaying stacks of things that we'll be transporting north. The guest bedroom is one such mess. I'm not happy about a messy house, but with my protracted "two week shut down schedule" this is bound to happen. On the bright side, the wildflowers are stupendous this year. Wouldn't you agree?                                                               Hopefully I have made up for showing you the mess by offering up these flowers. Glorious, isn't it?

What do you see when you look out your kitchen window? Spring time means luscious fields of flowers around here. The fourth photo is off my front porch and the fifth photo is out the kitchen window. The other shots are steps away. And the peak of the flowers is yet to come in April!

Friends, I give you bouquets of bluebonnets. Enjoy. It is still early in the season but get a load of the gorgeous mini-lupin that graces our roadsides and fields. That's my pear tree on the right in the first photo, but the home is a neighbour's.

The house hunting is going quite well in Texas. This is a close up of the stonework on one of the homes I checked out today. Get a load of those worm burrows. There were also chunks of petrified wood in the wall, and all kinds of fossiliferous sediments. I couldn't live in this house - I'd be outside with my nose up against the stone all the time! The bluebonnets are so gorgeous now and fields of them are springing up everywhere. It is a type of lupin, but very short compared to what I am used to seeing. Here's a stunning Baby. A corvette. Several antique autos graced my parking lot last night. The group were on a quest to find bluebonnets. They had driven in from one edge of Texas just to do this. How's this for a slick car? A Lincoln Continental. Not one fly speck on there. How can that be? My van looks like it crossed the demilitarized zone.
