Now that we've cooled down a bit, enjoyed some rain, we're going hard on the fall vibes. Sunday supper was stuffed acorn squash with arugula/spinach salad with persimmon and a lemon vinaigrette . #dinner #fallfoods

Texas has little public land, and every time we go to one of the many state parks, it is slammed. Texans love being outdoors, and the parks department can't add these new parks fast enough.

I was watching my favorite nature show, 'My Back Garden on a Rainy Day', and I see a bright flash of orange. Hell yeah, a Baltimore Oriole! I love migration time 👏👏👏 #birds #birdsofbluesky

We needed this. No, really, we just ended our 2nd longest dry stretch on record. We really needed this. #rain #txwx #garden

Back garden and porch. Gazebo to the left with a birdbath in front and lots of potted plants. More potted plants to the right in front of a raised bed of mostly zinnias. Paver path down the middle leads to the lawn and rose garden.

I hope y'all like the frog posts, because we finally got rain, and it's about to get real froggy in my photos 😂 #frogs #toads #wildlife

Had to give my pollinator bed that sunset treatment. She deserves to shine. #sunset #bloomscrolling

Sunset after a stormy day. Lots of heavy clouds of purple, gold, pink, and blue. Framed by the treetops and the top of our gazebo. And our newest pollinator bed with all local pollinator plants like lantana, mistflower, Turk's cap, milkweed, and more.

We had plenty of rain followed by this treat. Some days are just a little better. #sunset

Gina Hinojosa just needs to run on taking away the blue alerts from the cops. That alone will have her winning in a landslide.

Good morning from the garden 😊 The rain is on the way! #garden

Rose garden to the back with pink, purple, yellow, and white roses. White morning glories to the left growing on a trellis. Birdbath to the front right with iris leaves and purple heart flower with a rock border. Pebble paver stones line a path through the yard.

Gazebo to the back. Raised flower bed in front with several types of zinnias. Blue plastic chair with a metal stool to the left front. Various potted plants around.

Love being woken up by a “blue alert” from the phone at 6:18a because a cop was shot (but sounds like will survive) like nine hours ago and four hours from here.

I was awestruck when I saw this beautiful Blue Morpho at a butterfly conservatory last month. There were a lot of them flying around but they would only land in one area, on a large leafed palm tree by a small waterfall. #ColourADay #BlueTue #Photography #ECK #Butterflies

A very large butterfly is resting on a large leaf, with its wings fully opened. The upper side of the wings are a bright blue, and tiny scales on the wings give it a shiny appearance. The wings have a dark border with small white spots. It is native to the rainforests in Central and South America and feeds on fruit juices and tree sap.
