Started this one months ago but somehow it got lost in my Drafts folder. Hopefully, I will be back on SkyWatch now after taking a break for a few months. The Big Guy got a new car shortly before we went home for Christmas. The new has a moon roof. I tend to get bored … Continue reading Sky Watch Friday: Road Tripping
On Wild Flowers
The other day I was driving to work and noticed patches of beautiful pink wild flowers. One of the things I miss most about Texas is the spring time. That is when the wild flowers are in bloom. The mixture of Bluebonnets, Indian Paintbrushes with the green grass is just absolutely beautiful. Our first several … Continue reading On Wild Flowers

It isn't windy yet because the trees aren't touching the ground. #9: Complete strangers wave at you. This is especially true … Continue reading Top 10: Ways to Know You Are in Texas
