A Beautiful Weekend

Well since the last post I've been slightly under the weather but not really. Doesn't make sense huh? Well the doctor has been trying new medications trying to get my blood pressure to come back down and trying to get my glucose back in control and the medications are making me feel funky until everything levels out and we find the right combo I'm kinda blah at times. Right now I'm good. It's been a beautiful weekend even with all the rain we had Saturday.

Let me back up to last weekend. Pamela came home for a visit and was hoping our new fence would be up well 90% of the fence was done but the fencing and gate section across the driveway from the garage to the house was missing. Why is it everything we tend to contract to have done is never done in the promised time frame. I guess luck. Not.
We were able to at least have the dogs semi contained without a leash.

Sophie was happy to run without a leash and chase a ball.


Dexter took up a position next to the flower pot where there was shade. Unfortunately I still had a leash attached to him just in case he got the urge to trot off down the driveway or where ever.

David came out to play some ball with Sophie.

Sophie always brings the ball back but sometimes she's reluctant to release but she does.

 I guess we finally got lucky and because before Pamela went back to home last Monday they came and installed the last section of fencing.

The Puppies can be Free. LOL  Well Dexter will be and Sophie can run free when she comes back to Tomball for another visit.

Love our new fence and gates. The section on the patio has the big star on the gate and smaller stars across the top.
This gate is to the back towards the lake.

Now on the patio we have some angry birds. David found where the swallows were building a next behind the speaker and removed it. Well this little song bird and 2 of her friends (Pamela said it was a Mom, a Dad and the x-lover. oh brother) were not at all happy. They were swishing and dipping across the patio and just a squawking. They'd swoop in just inches from our heads or face.

I think our friend here is a Tree Swallow. Most of the pictures I found were more blue but I finally found one that looks like my pictures here.

I tried to get a better picture today but as I was trying to zoom in she zoomed down right into my face and talked the whole time.








This cracks me up. The first time I saw this sign I thought "WHAT!" And I had to turn around and go back and see if I read it right. Yep I read it right.

Well of course they weren't selling their kids. Not the human kind anyway. But the sign still cracks me up.
As you can see they sell Sheep, Goats and the Kids.







Friday night I sat on the patio with a tall drink waiting for David to get home from work. It was a beautiful evening.

So what are the odds that Saturday When I was ready to do the same the weather would look like this. I think David said we got 2 1/2 inches. Maybe a little more.
We needed the rain really bad so it was welcomed.

Today was another beautiful day and I did step out 2-3 times and sit on the patio to enjoy the weather and visit with David while he worked on some projects.

So another weekend has come to an end and it's back to work.
