Brevet Preparation with J
I suspect that randonneuring may not be J's thing, but props to him for giving it a shot.
Texas Wildflowers
This is a reasonable summary of what they're like, only different areas will have patches that are different colors (such as the shockingly blue bluebonnets). Not as tall and gangly as Montana wildflowers, not as surprising as Arizona wildflowers.
Works Progress Administration bridge in Navasota
Stopped here for a quick snack, 30 miles from home.
Kitchen Thing
That's a fresh loaf of European-style whole-grain sourdough bread right there. Tasty. I am going to install hooks on the Kitchen Thing, plus maybe a towel rod, plus I need to relocate those spice racks now.
Succulicious
My cat loves to chew on succulents. See the small fragment on the lower left? That pieces has sprouted fresh roots and appears to be getting a new start on life. Other parts that she chewed on have also regrown, thankfully. One of the things on the right-hand side has grown some odd, flowerlike structures, too. Here's hoping I can keep this away from miss Emma for a long while yet!
Oh, now I think I get it. That frame at the back, is that where you'll hang things? (Maybe hanging things is a genetic trait from me: your dad doesn't appreciate it so much....)
This comment about the trait of hanging things comes up again, and again, and again. I'm aware that my father doesn't appreciate it so much, and every time I drill a hole to install a hook, I think about it. I do it because it's usually cheaper than the alternatives (buying/building more cabinet/drawer space). Okay, I could get rid of more kitchen supplies, but I actually use all of them, on a regular basis. Where else should I put my pots and pans, anyway? Right now they're all stacked on top of each other, which is a pain in the patootie whenever I want to use the cast-iron that's at the bottom of the cast-iron heap.
Heh, no photos of bluebonnets. I'm always on my way to get somewhere when I see them. Plus, I'm trying to think of creative ways to portray them. I may just have to do a watercolor painting or something. You know, in my spare time. ;-)
And yes, I would love to see photos of your plants!

PS - Any photos of bluebonnets???
