An Austin Sunset

May has been a busy month around here.
My 91 yr. old father lives with us and there's never a dull moment!

I'm looking forward to having the summer to help my dad, 
but I still have one more month of school left.

Although two of our kids and their families live in Texas 
and our oldest and her husband and baby love to travel, 
we are always in touch chatting, face-timing or texting.   
Our son recently snapped this beautiful sunset photo near 
Lady Bird Lake and shared it with all of us.
Of course, I had to "borrow it."  =)

It's a beauty worth sharing.
Thanks Jason!

Wishing you a wonderful
Memorial Day!

Are you watching eagles and owlets?

I am addicted to watching the DC eagles

Mr. President and The First Lady are such wonderful parents!

This is a screen shot I took of the early morning light on their nest.

And I'm watching and waiting for the owlets in Savannah, Georgia to branch

and take their first flights.

They are also hilarious as they are wide awake most of the night

 and their swaying and bobbing will make you laugh out loud!

It's so windy most of the time on the island where the 

Great Horned Owls have nested...

The owlets must be exhausted from their tight grip on the nest!

serving scoops of orange and raspberry sherbet for Sky Watch Friday

My sister took this breathtaking photo this morning upon their return to Maine... 

and it reminds me of two wonderful quotes:

"I count myself lucky, having long ago won a lottery paid to me in seven sunrises a week for life." 
~  Robert Brault

"God is now serving scoops of orange and raspberry sherbet on the horizon.  

What a beautiful sunrise!"

~Terri Guillemets

These quotes fit perfectly!  Don't you think? 

Many blessings for a beautiful Easter weekend!

Peace and Joy

an eye on me - It's Sky Watch Friday!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

We finally had an opportunity to get out for a walk yesterday.

There were clouds, but nothing ominous.

Until we saw this smoothly sculpted eye giving us quite a look!

 Looking over my shoulder, I could see a front was on its way.
Quarter size drops of rain started falling on us.
We were close to home and it was actually a neat feeling thinking
it's rain and not snow.
Later in the night we saw bright lightning and heard rolling thunder...

... strange sounds in the month of March here in the northeast.

 Today, the sky is variable,
a mix of sunshine, clouds, and rain.

 ... And who doesn't love a silver lining at the end of the storm?!!!

I hope you all had a great week!
