A lovely 91 degree Winter Day

While it was cloudy this morning the sun came out at noon and the temperatures quickly rose. We had a low of 67 and a high of 91 degrees today. Have we once again skipped Spring and gone directly into Summer while we are still technically in Winter?

As I have been typing tonight's post the NBA announced they have suspended the remainder of this season...what?  The one sport I truly enjoy and that brings me happiness is on hold? The Houston Rodeo the largest rodeo in the world has been canceled, no St. Patrick's Day Parade and it is only a matter of time before Fiesta in San Antonio is canceled as well.

Now Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson have the Coronavirus, they were diagnosed in Australia where they are currently located.  Wonder what State-run TV has to say about that...is it all a hoax? That is my two-cents for the evening.

I am having so many problems with Blogger it is not letting me know when I have comments as it has discontinued sending me e-mail notices.  Is this happening to anyone else?  I also subscribe to other blogs feed and I am not getting those either.

Yesterday after my trip to HEB made a quick trip to Dollar Tree and saw an item I had never seen before...readers but in sunglasses...what a novel idea and at a buck each they had very few in stock so I purchased two.  I do not know if I got the right grade level but it was the one that gave me the best possible vision...+1.50




Can you hear me crying?

I know I ask you this question every year but it is truly hell when I go outside and from one day to another I see those darn mesquite trees blooming. That only signifies winter is over in West Texas :(

The Best Little Tent

We got a little rain yesterday, none to make a dent in the drought relief scale but it is better than nothing.  The wind blew those round pollen balls all over the top of my Kodiak Canvas tent...No, I  have not taken it down!


God, I love my tent.  It is the best shelter for me in Terlingua and the best little shed while in Del Rio.  It has more than paid for itself tenfold.   If you are in the market for a good tent...look no further.  Now after that commercial minute...I hosed it down good and it looks just as it did when I first got it.


Those pesky Mesquite trees are all in bloom...if you have been reading this blog for a while...you will know that that does not make me happy :-(




Had a lot of things I needed to do today but after I got my fingers stuck in fly ribbon http://mylittlewalter.blogspot.com/ got sidetracked and did little if nothing.  Oh well, like Scarlett O'Hara used to say "tomorrow is another day".  :-)

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
