Weekend

Saturday we had a good day birding. Copano Bay Bridge. Goose Island. Lamar Penninsula. We got a family of Whooping Cranes up close!



Mom, Dad, and a kid. They’re big birds; almost as tall as Judy.

Saturday we packed everything we needed into the Jeep. Drove down south to Edinburg and moved into our house. We’ll stay here for 10 days or so and get everything like we want it. This is fun.

We needed a centerpiece for our yard, so we planted a Foxtail Palm. It was so special we named it Enrique.

It got cold. Enrique died.

We planted a Cuban Royal Palm. Ricardo.

It got cold. Ricardo died.

The last cold spell, all the Pony Palms on the island survived. Meet Jethro, a Pony Palm.
