Better plan on staying 2 years if you want to complete the paver project! You know that 10 week project that should be done by now........:laughing:

10 weeks or 2 years. Maybe I can help for a few days. :confused2: Should be in your area in afternoon of the 9th.

Last night I actually got by just wearing a "T: shirt, YEAH! wont be long though and being on a parking lot all night will be like a frying pan

BTW, on the way to work last night, I did Allot all the Bluebonnets and some Indian paint brush. Thick patches all the way down hwy 199 into Cowtown:thumbsup:

Will they last a couple of week?

Speaking of trees and snakes, found this guy while out riding the other weekend.
Some places you gotta look up as well as down when walking around

What a great lookin' rat snake. They will give you a start, but they are worth their weight in gold for rodent control. Unfortunately, this time of year they are also gobbling up lots of bird eggs and little peepers too. They sure can wreak havoc in a hen house.

Ron, I honestly don't know! I have never paid attention. I think there may be a few around in that time, but sure you will see one the way North, I have seen allot of BB around the Austin area west to Hwy 281.

I know it's not the ranch, but it sure is nice.

Ron, I've noticed the bluebonnets on west facing slopes along the highway are far ahead of the east facing or flat areas. The slopes may be getting a bit long-in-the-tooth in couple of weeks, but the others should be still looking good. Mine still have lots of buds that haven't blossomed out.

Our natural patch of Indian Paint Brushes in the front yard is in full bloom. With the 2" rain yesterday the other wildflowers will be popping soon.

Bird,

Are you, or someone you know in or near Abilene?

I am trying to locate Paul E. Leary, Jr's family and he was shown as from Abilene.

He was killed in a firefight 01.16.71. MAJ Leary was a great man trying to save some guys who were ambushed. I saw a note to him from his daughter Paula as written in 2008 at the Virtual wall Internet site and it make me want to try to contact them.

Thank you,

Jim

Sorry, Jim, but in spite of Abilene Christian being my alma mater, I haven't even passed through Abilene in more than 20 years, and I live about 190 miles from Abilene. Unfortunately, I don't even know anyone in that area anymore.

Hwy 290 between Austin and Houston is a really great drive this time of year because of the flowers.
