It's allergy season here in South Texas, where at least this year, everything is still sickening green. I am ready to see some dead grass, and the brown tumble weeds of of West Texas. So, being tired of going through kleenex at the rate of a box day, I went to see my doc. He gave me a steroid shot, some antibiotics and some prednisone pills. He stressed I should the pills first thing in the morning and lay off the caffeine. I took the pills alright, but had my regular 4 cups of coffee. Talk about flying high and being jumpy. I have been all day. I think I will lay off the coffee tomorrow. I just hope I can sleep some tonight.
I went this afternoon to Goliad, to so some scouting for deer hunting, and locate some squirrels. I found a couple of buck rubs, and saw a nice doe. I was in the woods for about 2 hours, and got really hot. I told Becky, I didn't know if it was the drugs or not, but I feel way too hot, so instead of hunting this evening, I just came home. I am going try again tomorrow evening, maybe the temp will drop from 95 down to something in the 80's. (that's a cool spell down here, this time of year)
Alright I am posting a couple more pictures for you. I think the red flower is a Tropical Sage. What say you? The other is of the San Antonio river, which runs along one side of the property. This place is right behind the old Spanish Mission there, so there is alot of Texas history in this area.
P.S. Moon Pies and Goober Wheels will be shipped in a day or two in care of the Nara Visa Cowboy. Who knows, I might find a R C Cola and add it to the deal. Nothing better than a R C Cola and Goober Wheel, unless it's Grapette Pop

avisaMitchell County is not used to a WHOLE goober wheel! She has only seen various parts of the goober wheel, none of which match, but do eat pretty good!
Goliad-a prominent place in Texas history. Probably more significant to me than the Alamo. Went there one spring day and a gentle breeze was blowing. Made the hair on my neck and arms stand up.A really eerie feeling to know what happened there.
The air up here may have a little dirt in it, but the stuff you're breathing will kill you.
Worked for neighbor today, penning, sorting, hauling calves to the sale in Dalhart. Jeff is 77 and still works like he did yesterday forty years ago. Some really good stories. Avery enjoyable day, as most are.
Check out Real Live Preacher's blog. Thought of you on his new project.
