Blue Bonnets at a Nature Center

You don't ever imagine that one thoughtful act can spread...



But if the act involves blue bonnets and they are allowed to go to seed every year and then mowed down then they will spread!  A friend of ours was very ill and in the hospital.  We went on a road trip to the Antique Rose Emporium.  Zachary and I found some blue bonnet plants for sale and we purchased 4 plants.  We took them to the Rustic Oak Elementary School Nature Center and planted them.  Every year the seed spread out a little bit more and with the right amount of rain ... the blue bonnets are putting on quite a show!

Rebuy - the way to make something used yours

Rebuying is my favorite way of enhancing and adding to my wardrobe.  Here in Pearland several resale and consignment shops have popped up, offering women and at some spots men an opportunity to find some items new to them.  Some to my favorites:

• Salvation Army Store at Broadway and Walnut
• Forgotten Angels at Broadway and Westminster
• Goodwill at Broadway and Walnut
• Restyle Pearland at Broadway and Wagon Trail
• Brooke's Boutique at Broadway and Cullen

Lost Dinosaur

If you know who this poor fellow belongs to send me a message ... He is living on my desk for now...

Number Four

"I for one am grateful," a voice piped up from the back seat of the car.  We were having one of the conversations about having more than 2 children and in this case talking about a friend who was pregnant with number four.  At that time people were all too free with their comments.  She had had it with the rounds of folks who found it all too easy to reprimand her for going over the acceptable limit of the number of children.  Our discussion ended with Zachary's comment because of course he was right!  Zachary as number four is grateful for being that number.  I love all four of my children.  They are all wonderful, independent and intelligent.  So, at the end of this week when Zack and the rest of the Pearland High School Academic Decathlon Team compete for the state title I will be thinking of number 4 and how lucky we are to have him!

Blue Sky

Every year Leon Hale would write about finding spring. I still miss reading Leon's columns. They always brought a smile to my face and often made me laugh out loud!  

Our first day over 75 degrees was yesterday. I am hoping that spring is in the air. I haven't seen my first robin and I don't think the mesquite trees are budding out. But I think I should drive about and see if I can find spring.
