Big in Texas

The e-mail I received yesterday had pictures of the blue bonnets of Texas which are really very pretty. I had never seen a picture of them closely so had no idea what they looked like. When I saw the markings of a very large snake in the middle of them, I thought I was seeing things, but as you can see here walking through the blue bonnets is not the smartest thing to do.

I can see the snake but it looked to me like a tree stump at first. I had no idea they had that size snake in the grasses of Texas. Texans always brag about how big things are in Texas so maybe we should start to believe them.

What a sight to see, really lovely, but now that I know there are snakes the size of boa constrictors I am not going to be a fan of Texas. I wonder if we have snakes that size here in Oregon. I know I have a garden snake and that little thing can scare me, image my reaction if I saw one Texas size.

This cartoon is so close to the truth of the economy that it is down right scary.

Aah, my friend, Maxine . . . she always had such words to spout and most of the time she is right. Now that is scary.

So today, spend your time looking and listening, learn something new today and share it with all of us. I'm off to visit my doctor but not before I pass through the scale room and have to stop and take of my heavy duty shoes . . . I don't want to break the scale. Next time around, if there is one, I want to be a Barbie Doll, perfect and loved by all; you know it will be the season for Katrina the Great and I'll be out of style. Oh well, such is life. Enjoy today and be good to you. I think I'll stop by Rays and see how those ribs are cooking, sounds about time for a treat for dinner tonight. Stop by, I'll share. Hugs to all.
