Texas Flowers

 

Welcome to the wonderful Friday each month where Nature Friday comes together with YAM Aunty's FFF!!  Make sure to visit YAM Aunty HERE to get the Rulez and join the FFF fun!! 

Today, I wanted to show you some flower pictures I found on Mama's phone. Seems that even in the heat of the Texas Summer, Mama can find flowers!

Here is some pretty Blue Plumbago....

This beautiful pink centered Caladium was in a container by a hotel where Mama stayed. It reminded her of the Caladium Duke's Mama showed us!

Of course she saw lots of Black Eyed Susan's!!

OH, I didn't introduce you to BB (Baby Bevo)! BB is our new friend we brought home from Colorado.

BB, these are all our Blogville friends!

Back to the flowers...

Here is a nice pink Crepe Myrtle! Mama is always amazed how well Crepe Myrtles thrive in Central Texas!

Our last flower picture is a pretty pink Rosy that Mama took just for me!

Although it's not a flower, I couldn't sign off before showing you this colorful Texas sunset!!

Thanks for joining us for a look at the flowers Mama saw in Texas. Next week we will be telling you all about our fun trip to LaVeta, Colorado!

For now though, we hope all our friends get to experience some nature this weekend!

Show us your nature! It can be flowers, your current weather, a scene out of your window, or maybe a picture from a vacation, walk or other journey! Any kind of nature picture will do! If you don't see a link below, click HERE  to go to our Hoppity Page.

Thankful for Fresh Air

This week, on Angel Brian and Maxwell's Thankful Thursday, I am thankful for the chance to breathe fresh and cool mountain air....

While sitting on Daddy's lap getting snuggles, of course!

Midnight Visitors on BWW

This week we are returning to our very own backyard to take a look at some of the late might visitors we have had this Summer. Here's some video TC caught of our thirsty, midnight visitors:

All that nighttime video is making me sooooo slllleeeeeepy.....

We are joining Sandee at Comedy Plus for the 

Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop this week!

Tell All Travel Tuesday

Today, we wanted to give you a head's up about some travel Mama has been doing "behind the scenes"(before we left for our camping trip).  

 Our Grandaddy (Mama's Daddy) is having problems remembering things and needs some extra help, so Mama took a trip to Texas to see what she could do.  

She left us alone with Daddy....

Sunny was NOT amused to have her routine disturbed. She showed her displeasure by playing the, "no treats until you take your medicine" stand off game with Daddy. He didn't give in though, and eventually Sunny got used to Mama being gone for 87 years (or maybe 10 days).

(and she took her meds from Daddy like a good girl most days)

Me?? Although I did miss Mama, I LOVE having Daddy in charge! He took me for evening walkies almost every night and I even got TWO walkies on the weekends! I saw sooooo many kitties and bunnies!! I was one Happy Lhasa Girlie!

Mama is back home now but she warned us that she will be taking shorter trips to help Grandaddy, and may need to leave us alone with Daddy again.  There has also been talk about another longer trip to Texas in the next couple of weeks. Rumor has it that Daddy is going to go with her and we may get to go too.

Paws Crossed!

Summer Flower Friday

 

 Welcome to Nature Friday where we get to meet new friends and share a picture or two of what nature looks like around Blogville. Sally the Sloth and I are wrapping up Mama's last trip to the Botanic Garden today with some Summer flower pictures!

 

 

Pretty pink and yellow lantana.... 

 

Faded pink cone flowers.... 

 

A raindrop covered day lily... 

 

A pretty pink Zinnia... 

 

It sure is nice for Mama to have a place to look at colorful flowers but, I sure wish they allowed pretty black Lhasa Apsos into the Gardens. It looks like a beautiful place for a nice walkie. Oh well, maybe someday!  

 

Back to the flowers....

 

A pretty red crepe myrtle bloom for Aunty C... 

 

 

 A nice oleander bloom with a few raindrops....

 

Black eyed Susans are the perfect Summer bloom!

 

Mama says these may be Cardoon flowers, but they also may be giant thistles. YAM Aunty featured a pretty Cardoon flower last week on Nature Friday.

 

Here is another view, maybe YAM Aunty can take a guess? 

They were as big as a dinner plate, but mostly done blooming.  

 

 

Thanks for joining us as we looked at the Summer beauty at the Botanical Garden. Hopefully, next week we'll have some pictures of our mountain adventure!!

 

Sally the Sloth and I hope all our friends get out and see some Nature this weekend!

Thankful Thursday

 

Today, we are thankful we are headed out on a Mountain Adventure tomorrow morning! 

We will be heading up to the mountains of Colorado for a long weekend of walkies and relaxing in ArCee!!

 

 

We may not be around commenting tomorrow and Monday, but we'll be back Tuesday to catch up with everybuddy!!
