Road Trip!

 We’re off to Colorado.  Yeaa! We started by driving to Mustang Island today.  Mustang Island State Park. A visit with Carolyn at Island Woman Boutique. A walk in Charlie’s Pasture.       Saw a Magnificent Frigatebird …and a soaring Spoonbill.  Tried to meet up with Forest and Kim for fish and chips at Snoopy’s but couldn’t quite connect so we had to eat there by ourselves.  https://mapsengine.google.com/map/edit?mid=zRXJT6qqTEFI.kRqdR6nNLAqw A good start to our trip. 

Bougainvillea

 The bougainvillea was getting out of control for the spot it’s in.  I kept letting it grow because bougainvilleas bloom on new growth.  I wanted to see it bloom when it finished its growth spurt.  I gave up and cut it back, but I didn’t cut off any of the long branches that had started to bloom. So it ended up looking a little goofy as a small bush with a few long spikey wands; flowers on the ends.  But I got my flowers.
