San Felipe Springs

I do not know how so many mosquitoes got in the house. I barely got any sleep swatting them until I finally turned on the ceiling fan in my room.  Found an online homemade solution to spray on myself, but need to go buy the ingredients. Will report back if it works.


Drove mother to our local hospital for her monthly labs. We went at noon to avoid the morning rush but to our surprise it was packed.  It took us over an hour just to get registered.



It got to 96 degrees (35 Celsius) today which for us is mild.  Since the hospital is close to several area parks decided to drive by. City workers were busy mowing and weed eating for the upcoming 4th of July festivities.


There were more people than the pictures show, mostly families swimming and having a picnic.


This is known as San Felipe Springs and it is where we get our local water supply.  As we were headed to another park we saw this beautiful lush pink crape myrtle and I just had to photograph it.


My neighbor in Houston said my own crepe myrtle was doing nicely...hope I can finally go home and see it for myself.


This park used to be known as State Park as it faces Highway 90 but now I think it is known as Star Park but don't quote me on it.


This is the calm before the storm as I am sure it will be packed on Friday.


Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
