We’re certainly having an early spring. Even by Texas standards, it’s early. I could more accurately say we’re in early summer. The past week has seen our temperatures mid to high 80′s. Can’t wait to see what happens in July/August. Should be interesting, to say the least.

The only thing, other than weather, going on with me is my car. I drive a huge suv and it’s having a bit of problem with the hatch. For those unfamiliar, a hatch is that back door thing that raises up to allow access for packing a ton of groceries in the back. Anyway, it’s stuck. Won’t open. It’s due for a visit to the shop first thing next week. Around this area, you make a mechanic’s appointment the same as you’d make a doctor’s appointment. No idea how this works in other areas.

Dogs. That’s always good for a paragraph or two. I know most dogs can tell time. They always know when it’s time to drive you crazy, when it’s time to be fed. Things like that. But, honestly, mine can tell time. Actual time. Bitsy, the Mini Pinscher, knows exactly when 4 pm rolls around. Food. A few weeks back we did the daylight savings time change. All of a sudden 3pm becomes 4pm. That means the dogs will be getting fed (stomach time as we call it) at 3pm. Nope, Bitsy never mentions food until 4pm. She seems to know exactly how to read a clock. Odd. Sissy, the Chihuahua, doesn’t care what the clock says, she just wants food.

Today’s photo entry was taken in my yard. There are four of these bushes scattered around. One of these years I have hopes they may all bloom at the same time. Bridal wreath is the local name. No idea what they’re called where you live.
