Early Voting

If you have been reading this blog for a while you know that I tend to put off things to the last minute, today was no exception to the rule.  Waited until the last day to go to the courthouse to cast my early vote. There was no waiting line and I was in and out in less than five minutes.  Once there I decided to kill two birds with one stone and went to purchase the license tags for mom’s car.  The line was longer there than at the voting place.

Went by Cricket for the third time and finally got someone knowledgeable, he even gave me a $20.00 credit to compensate for my trouble.  Sure wish AT&T offered high speed internet in Del Rio, I absolute loved them when I had them in Houston.

The sage started blooming last week but I was disappointed that despite the rains this time around it was not as hardy and vibrant as it was back in May.

The Esperanza plant finally got some yellow buds…it sure took its time.  As for my Roma tomato plant, I think I can pretty much kiss it good-bye!

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.

The Sage is Blooming

There is nothing more beautiful here in the desert of West Texas than when the sage blooms.  It is a glorious spectacle.

I was awaken to the sound of thunder along with a show of lighting around 2:11 a.m. The first thought that came to mind was the memorial weekend crowd camping at Lake Amistad.

Around noon I convinced my mother to go driving around with me to the different campgrounds with the excuse that I wanted to take pictures of the sage.

I was so surprised that there was absolutely NOBODY at the Spur 277 North or at San Pedro Campground, and only one RV at the secluded campground on highway 90 West which exact name eludes me at the moment. The only campground that had people was my favorite Governors Landing.

Made me wonder if last night storms drove them to hotels or if they even came at all.  Yesterday I treated mom to a strawberry sundae at Dairy Queen and there were a lot of tourists so hopefully they are still around.

When we got home Walter was waiting for us!  Gave him some water, which he promptly drank.  After we finished our Long John Silver’s special meal of two for $10.00 which I must way was quite tasty we went outside to take some pictures.  Walter had never seen my Mom before so I think he got spooked and quickly retreated to his corral even though I kept on calling him back.

Hopefully he grazed on plenty of grass before we got home and had a full tummy.

Billy Bob had to include a picture of your tree, look how much it has grown
since your last visit!



May you all have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend.
