It was a gentle rain that fell
on that sweet spot in Texas.
Wildflowers accented the back yard
with lavenders and magentas
Joyful gurgles came from the little pond
filling the sweet smelling air.
Parrot’s Feather waited
to bloom alongside Lilly pads.
Amaryllis just days from bloom
lies in wait
in a painted pot
by the back deck door.
Everywhere the eye touches
there are pots and plants,
this and that d’art
of color and life.
The easy setting of chairs
made comfortable
for reminiscing laughter

The RV gave us all kinds of engine trouble all the way there...almost didn't make it. But our host had an ace mechanic to get us going again. Then less than 30 miles from home we blew a spark plug. Luckily we had a friend that could bring us one and we made it home. Then it took us an hour and a half to get back in the house. The keys wouldn't work in the lock....We had a neighbor break in for us.
Visiting our friends in Austin however, was heaven! Weather was perfect! Good food, good friends, good times. ~L
