A few weeks ago.
We paid less than $3 per gallon for gasoline. Go figure.
February
The mockingbird in the tree outside our door has found his voice after a quiet winter.
The ground is getting some color.

The Huisache trees are in full bloom.
The sandhill cranes are circling in search of thermals.


I don’t think it’s time for the cranes to migrate north yet. Maybe it just feels good to soar.

Mardi Gras
Has come and gone. Fat Tuesday, there was a parade. There were decorated golf carts, decorated people, bicycles, baton twirlers, a Grand Marshal, cheering spectators, and beads. The guy at the end might have had a broom and a shovel. But that’s all over now. Today there was a parade for the Olympics. (We celebrate the Olympics *every* year.) There were decorated golf carts, decorated people, bicycles, baton twirlers, a Grand Marshal, and cheering spectators. The guy at the end might have had a broom and a shovel. Life at Sandpipers.
