Where are the Bluebonnets?
Have a couple blooming in my backyard, but those are the only ones
I've seen so far. In the past, they're usually much easier to spot by this time. |

Where are the Bluebonnets?
thanks, y'all, for the bluebonnet info. i travel almost exclusively
west of the Interstate... mostly down either 281 through Marble Falls/Johnson City or Highway 16 through Llano/Fredericksburg. Usually a good showing down both. hopefully, they will start showing to the west before long. could a good spring rain partially overcome the setback of the winter's drought? tks On Tue, 25 Mar 2008 23:35:34 -0500, "oldhickory" wrote: and in our front yard...this is a couple of weeks ago..they're even better now...if we can just get the "girls" to stand still for their portraits.... http://davidandmollie.com/pictures/plants/bbons |

Good show. :-) I've considered a covered "run" for our kids to give them outdoor time, but so far, I just bring fresh (home grown organic) catnip in for them from time to time and make sure they have access to windows. -- -- Peace!

Cats love nature shows... Do you grow catnip for them? Being a mint, it does well with no babying. -- -- Peace! Om "Thousands of years ago, cats were worshipped as gods.

I guess it would work as well for a detention system....though they'd try to dig under. They try to dig under our fence sometimes. We had to fortify the plastic edging at the bottom with bricks because they were digging it up and flattening out and sliding under the fence. Little buggers...of course Cleo just likes to dig in anything. We keep asking if she's planning a trip to China.... Yes, we had outdoor cats at one time but no mas. I'm glad. We were very lucky they were never eaten. WTFWWT? I do so understand what you mean... One car hit cat, dead with an eye dangling out of the socket was the final "lesson" about letting cats run free. His name was "Onyx" and he was a beloved stray my sister brought home. sigh No mas indeed! -- -- Peace! Om "Thousands of years ago, cats were worshipped as gods.

There are many that understand.
Persephone is currently purring in my lap: http://i26.tinypic.com/rr4mqd.jpg One of the darkest torty's we've ever met! Been fighting for her life now for a couple of months but she appears to be doing better. She's only 7 and even after a dental, she's having mouth issues. Vet says it might be auto-immune. sigh Possibly tongue cancer based on the swelling. Now that she just finished the current course of Prednisone, I need to take her back and see what she says. It's a matter of spoiling her thru the pain to get her to eat and keep weight on. At least she's feeling good enough right now to want to snuggle! Cats in serious pain just want to hide. Hill's A&D, various flavors of Fancy Feast, Whiska's "Cat Milk" and well chewed bits of whatever meat I'm eating, as well as 9 Lives Gravy poured from the cans for the wet food feeding for the other furkids. She actually gained 1/2 lb. :-) In article , "oldhickory" wrote: Thanks for the kind words. They're cuties--we love em! -- ie ride fast, take chances.
