Yellow Rose of Texas

This is one of those keeper pictures. The light was right and the bud was in the perfect stage of growth. This was Jo Brooker's rose bush for awhile and now it belong's to Peggy Gordon.

Morning Bird Songs

Most of this noise is from the Mockingbird 'Droopy'. There is not much to look at but I wanted to share the sounds of a South Texas Morning.

Slowing down

You know what it is like when you have been running and then you slow down and try to catch your breath? The last couple of days have felt that way. I had my yesterday partially planned but then they needed two more shuffleboard players. I reluctantly agreed.
  Butch hired Tony the park worker to wash the motorhome. Just the lower part as Butch had already done the roof. And while they were doing that we went for our daily walk. I suggested we get the walk in before it became too warm and Butch said it is already too warm. I asked what the temp was and he said 73!! Apparently the humidity is making 73 seem mighty warm.
We were invited to Donn and Peggy's for supper and that was a delicious and welcome change. We had turkey and dressing with all the trimmings and it was truly a Thanks Giving feast. Bill and Kay were also guests of Donn and Peggy and we all enjoyed the food and friendship.
Keri sent pictures of my blooming tulips while we were at Donn and Peggy's. Thanks Keri!!

Donn told me he expected to see storm coverage on the blog as we had a doozy of a storm last Thursday evening. McAllen was hit hard with wind, hail and rain but we are 20 miles east of McAllen and we had lightning and heavy rain. 3 1/2 inches in rain gauges in the park. It was more of a storm than I had ever experienced  here in Donna. We did have a similar one in Harlingen while visiting Marlene and Bernard several years ago. It was before we owned a motorhome so it had to be prior to 2000.
