It’s good that a  picture says a thousand words, because this post is mainly pictures.  You can fill in the rest.

My postponed birthday last Friday, post-cupcakes from Sugar Baby’s.  You can see the evidence on David’s chin.

Saturday, May 4th, the Faerie Festival at Lucia’s Garden.  We didn’t want to go home.

At home, we finally figured out how to sit on Daddy’s car.

The bit of 59 between our house and our old neighborhood has the best taco trucks driving along it.  Now, really, how could you not want a taco gordo?  Ice cream trucks bore in comparison.

Carmen can tie loop-knots on my old running shoes.  Over, and over, and over.

George Ranch

Now, for your daily RDA of George Ranch pictures.

Somebody (the chickens?) dug up an aloe vera.  We were happy to replant it in exchange for a chance to use the shovels.

After fixing the aloe, we weeded a bit of the garden.  We figure the George Ranch has just as good adopted us, we might as well adopt them back.  We’ll be looking for more chores to do when we visit.

After the planting, C&D played in the dirt at the front porch.  They got a little bit dirty.

These bloomed this week, all over.  I need to figure out what they are.  The color was almost ultraviolet to my eye.  I wonder what the bees think about these.

On the way toward the 1930′s complex we investigated an old tractor.  The loader scoop was just the right height.
