Where are we Wednesday

One more day in Columbus, TX.
Notice the full pregnant bellies of some of the mamas.  I think they usually deliver in May or June.

The deer have been different here in the Colorado River Thousand Trails. There are signs everywhere asking people to not feed them. It creates a gross imbalance and I'm just not sure it's good to have them be so friendly with us humans. Yes, I have been blessed to be up close to them in Lake Medina, having them eat right out of my hand. But in this park, this way in their standoffishness (is that a word?), seems right and natural.

We're heading to Conroe, TX in the morning. It's about 75 miles northeast of where we are now. I look forward to our new surroundings, but I'm definitely going to miss this place!

Garden Tuesday

This is what it's all about right now.  It's a flurry of activity, everyone flying around with purpose.  Everybody busy building their nests.

A bit of sun and warm weather energizes us as well, doesn't it?  Being on the road, not having a garden this year will be hard.  Normally I'd be planning, planting, fertilizing.  I found myself pulling weeds next to the motorhome a few days ago.  I can't seem to help myself.  I may have to buy myself a hanging plant to hang outside to take care of.   Maybe a big pot of petunias!  :)

All God's Creatures Sunday

I can't believe how many cardinals are in this area!
So many, that it's like living in a fairytale where, of course, all of the birds would be bright red!
They are very busy building nests in the thicket behind the motorhome.

Coming out of the activity center at the park the other day, I noticed a male cardinal flying at the side mirror on our truck. They're very territorial during mating season, and will attack another male in their "hood." I'm sure he's exhausted by the end of the day! He can never get rid of that other bird in the mirror!

Wishing you a peaceful Sunday!
