The Hobbit Hole VII - But not yet weary are our feet...

[JenB]

It's been so nice. Last two weeks, we've had ground. Now... well, it hasn't disappeared yet.

[Wneighbor]

All along the farm road to my old home yesterday there were wildflowers starting. I used to love driving that road cause I had speed on those curves and hills down to a science. Yesterday, I was driving like one of the farmers... and enjoying every last wildflower I saw! :-)

[Wneighbor]

Good morning! The troop one is one the way.

Troop Package March 8

Okay all, this is what the packages looked like that I sent out last Monday.

There was one more box than these that went out too. These each contained a large bag of Gardettos, a box of the big Little Debbie Oatmeal cakes, a package of cookies, lots of hard candy, shampoo, soap, several magazines and homemade fudge.

[RosieCotton]

Mmmmm...fudge...

[JenB]

Sigh... I'm about to leave for school. Have to run by the bank on the way or I'll start bouncing checks. Not a good thing. At least yesterday was payday.

[Pippin]

WHAT!?

You all moved again!

Hmm!

Maybe I'll take look at the new "Hole" :O)

[My back yard]

Yeah, we used to make a drives through the hill country several times during this wildflower 'sploding time. It is just spectacular. Someone (visitor from out of state) once make a crack that it was just the highway department planting those blue bonnets for tourism. I wanted to roll my eyes but didn't. We came around a bend afterwards that the bluebonnets covered as far as you could see, off across the hills in the distance. I bit my tongue.

And Bear in RoseBear with his Hawaiian wedding shirt.

And here is elfboy with his daddy Professional Engineer. :-) Coupla happy guys!

Next, we have msdrby and elfboy. (hehehe... and the future elfgirl) And this would be WN at her Baskin Robbins stop on the way home!

[Overtaxed]

At least Kitty has her salad...

[My back yard]

Cool packages for the troops!

[JenB]

What a great group of people! Next moot, they'd all better be there...

Course, I won't be... grump, grump...

[RosieCotton]

I still have a coupla days till payday.

Should also get a little pay for the St. Patrick's Day concert here. Nothing much...but I'm going to use it for fun stuff. Should be enough for another batch of paperbacks, in any case!

[JenB]

Mmm, paperbacks. Always, always a good thing.

[Wneighbor]

We came around a bend afterwards that the bluebonnets covered as far as you could see, off across the hills in the distance. I bit my tongue.

You know how when they're like that you can smell 'em on the breeze? Well, from the back of a motorcycle you can multiply that bluebonnet fragrance by a factor of 10! It's the most incredible thing to ride through the country in spring when they're blooming and smell that!

At the old house I could look out back and many years the bluebonnets would cover the fields over to the next hill. It was a sea of blue blowing in the breeze. Nothing like it! This is what Texas is all about! :-)

[Wneighbor]

oops. WN has formatting issues today. Trying to move too fast and do too many things at once.

[HairOfTheDog]

~applause!~

[My back yard]

I wouldn't mind making that trip on the back of a motorcycle - once.

And I'm out of Bailey's!

I don't think I'd do the Bailey's while doing taxes, but it sure would make doing the 'Flylady' thing a LOT more tolerable! ;o)

[SuziQ]

Great pics of the TJ Garcia moot!

Our #2 son will be in Austin weekend after next to interview for Grad School. He's thinking he'd like to go to UT Austin rather than UMass Amherst simply because it will be warmer in the winter! LOL! He's tired of the cold; I can relate!
