Even after a week of sunshine there are still puddles everywhere but I’m not complaining!  I spent an hour drinking coffee on the porch, watching the hummingbirds fight, then slipped on my tennis shoes for a walk.

Here is what I saw.

The Mama chicken and her two rapidly growing children, ready to escape the barn and catch some breakfast.

I think this bird already had some breakfast, he was just kinda hanging out.

And my darling chickens are quite fond of unripe blueberries, I’d like you to see my entire crop from 3 bushes this year…..

How much you wanna bet something gets them before they are ripe?

However, my blackberries are producing right and left AND being left alone!  Yay!!!!!!

Matter of fact I am making a cobbler today, first one ever from my own berry bushes.

“Happy Dance”

I finally made it out of the yard……

Pretty sweet pea.

This year, March, April and May showers brought June flowers.

And murky, watery mosquito bearing swamps.  With yellow flowers.

The new growth, however, is astounding!

Nosey is very glad there are lots of puddles left!

As I wandered along I saw some towering Sweetgum trees in a nice trio……

And then a darling little frog!

And her eggs!

Baby frogs en route!

Then I crested a hill and saw a movement.  At first I thought “Good Gawd those are the biggest rabbits in Texas!”

Then I thought “Oh, that’s a little bobcat!”

Then I realized, it was a pair of twin fawns crossing the road!  I only got one shot and missed the lead twin but isn’t she a treasure?!

I had planned on walking a lot farther than half a mile from the house but didn’t want Nosey chasing after the little spotted darlings.  And besides, seeing wild babies, well, its hard to top that.  So I trudged home happily thinking about my encounter with the two biggest ‘rabbits’ in Texas.

Thanks for walking with me today y’all.
