This is a shortened version (meaning fewer pictures) of what I did for Mother's Day. Children and naturally grandchildren were with the other mothers - enough said there. The day was OK, but made better by these views from my front deck. The flowers are changing from bluebonnets to other flowers. It was really beautiful - weather and all.
Picture one - lots of prickly pear cactus, a cedar, a mesquite tree that is about to bud out. They are the real things that show spring. They don't leaf out early!!
More of the bluebonnets, still prickly pear!
On a hillside. 
Here you can see them a little better - along with dirt. Ohhh that red dirt! I wanted to add pictures of my crazy cat and the hummingbirds. I will do that one tomorrow.
