Spent the afternoon with family at Kevin's house. He smoked the most delicious brisket, melt in your mouth tender. Anita made a great strawberry spinach salad and a heavenly strawberry cake with lemonade frosting. Tasted like spring!
Becky and Kasey were able to join us for the day. Chelsea didn't get to drive down from Lubbock, really wanted to spend time with her this trip, too.
All my grandchildren have grown up, don't have any little ones around anymore. The boys are both getting drivers license in a few months. Driving in Midland/Odessa scares the crap out of me and for them to be on the streets with all the speed freaks makes me crazy.
Deb didn't make it over, she had Mummers meetings and had to prepare for class on Monday.
I am so proud of all my children, they are an unending joy to us even though we don't see them but twice a year.
Flashback to Saturday, a great field trip with Midnats to Buchanan with 49 species for the day. We sat for an hour by the big pond while the birds came to us. Sparrows, warblers, thrushes, terrific morning. Good news, the bee tree is active again after being dormant for several years. Wildflowers in abundance despite the drought conditions. A few weeks of scorching temperature will devastate the flora totally.
We did receive a few rain showers later Sunday afternoon but very spotty.
Counting down the days until we leave Midland.
