Can't remember the name right now. Oh those bluebonnets. Nowhere compares with those. Just love Texas. I have hard water at the city house. I didn't even know that's what it was, but I had little round scale droplets all over the shower. After I got it all off, I now have to rub it all down with a towel and it works. I've been to Santa Fe and Taos, but never to southern NM or AZ. I am trying to plan a trip to the Tucson Gem and Mineral show and rent an RV. We'll see. I'll put out a warning notice before I get behind the wheel as I'd imagine I'll be all over the place.donna bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507579686738843451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974379645841145390.post-12226439432524614542017-07-30T13:31:31.492-05:002017-07-30T13:31:31.492-05:00Yes - my beloved Texas Hill Country, where the wat...Yes - my beloved Texas Hill Country, where the water in the streams runs a beautiful green color over the moss on the limestone below. Which also makes for some of the hardest water I've ever seen come out of the tap. My hair looks like a wild haystack! I know they say that women from Texas (I am just an interloper) have big hair. Something about "The bigger the hair - the closer to God " <br />- nonsense - the real reason - hard water!Ry @ Sotto Il Monte Vineyardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03963652024916167506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974379645841145390.post-3048701976928449502017-07-30T10:43:21.462-05:002017-07-30T10:43:21.462-05:00Texas hill country?

I haven't seen the dirty rats like I was since I quit feeding the birds, but I know they are out there. I went to dinner with a friend the other night and she had a giant rat snake on her porch. I told her I wish she had saved it for me, but she is terrified of snakes. She called a critter getter and they couldn't find it, so now she is sleeping upstairs.donna bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507579686738843451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5974379645841145390.post-68718843938427749052017-07-30T08:27:02.404-05:002017-07-30T08:27:02.404-05:00Congratulations on the newest little one!

Her sister got an injunction and the court has taken over his money. So sad as he has dementia and it won't get better.
