The Great Outdoors

Little Benny Boo was not feeling so great yesterday. He had a little fever and slept most of the day. I think he was awake a total of 5 hours. He and Sam watched a little movie together one of the times he was awake. It seemed to be mostly teething and maybe even a little growth spurt considering he was constantly eating when he was awake. Or maybe we've been pushing him a little too hard and he just needed some rest. Hopefully he feels better today.

Hanging out around the house was very exciting for Sam. He' gotten to see lots of different wildlife around the yard including this turtle who was hanging out in the rose bushes.

Sam was not afraid to pick up the turtle, but the turtle felt safer inside its shell.

Going with Papou to check the mail.

Texas Star - I love the contrast of the buds and the flower at full bloom

Gladiolus

The golden silk orb-weaver, aka banana spider, aka giant wood spider is sometimes referred to as a writing spider due to occasional zigzag patterns built into its webs.

Sitting on the porch waiting for it to rain. Afternoon showers are common on the coast.

Drip ... drip ...

Pretty plants, pots and glass

Flower pots on the porch.

Hydrangea - as southern as magnolias and pecan pie
