Bird breakfast time
Mama cardinal is feeding her hungry trio in the live oak tree just off the back deck.

Lull before the storm
The sun broke through for a minute as the dark clouds rolled in.
Would you believe that we have had over 9 inches of rain this month?!
We are setting daily records for precip beginning the first of May. And we haven't had a single hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico to blame it on. Our cats have become stir-crazy from being cooped up in the house every day.

Sunset after rain
After a hard evening shower (2 1/2 inches) the sun broke through creating this fairyland scene with raindrops glistening in the trees and grass.

Big Joshua Creek
A delightful surprise on our 'lost' trip home from Mo Ranch was this wonderful scene. If one looks he can see this in the distance from I-10 east of Kerrville.
Farm road
We got lost on this road which was not on the map. It led to a closed crossing over the Guadalupe, so we had to back track to an open crossing.

Crossing Near Sisterdale
We finally found a way across the river. The water was four feet down from its highest level last night. (Note debris on railing.)
Guadalupe after a rain
The heavy rains last night turned the usually clear river muddy brown. Here we are crossing the North Fork of the Guadalupe on the high bridge near Mo Ranch.
View from our deck
Sunday dawned clear, cool, and sunny, perfect for the worship service up on the hill.
Our 'penthouse' room
We checked into our second floor room with a balcony overlooking the night-time conversation circle.
Eagle
On our way to Mo Ranch west of Kerrville we had lunch at the Lumber Yard Cafe in Johnson City. The lumber has been replaced with the cafe and a number of shops.
Flowers for Lady Bird
There were flowers on every post and sign along the funeral cortege route for Lady Bird.
