Why? Because he is so cute, especially when sitting still. Not so much when he's running all over the house...<br /><br />It's a beautiful spring day here in Texas. I wish that spring lasted forever here. I know that all too soon we will head into the interminable Long Hot Summer, which is really no fun. Maybe if I had all summer off to go swimming, I would enjoy it more. Should we tear up the fish pond and put in a pool? Nah... pools aren't for lazy people... they require too much work. So it's mosquitos and terrified goldfish for me.<br /><br />We haven't really been traveling much lately, as Victor is working on something Very Important at work and doesn't have much free time. We did go down to Austin a few weeks ago, which was lots of fun. I had kind of forgotten why I love that city so much, so it was a nice reminder. <br /><br />We have been sticking to home a lot during the weekends, working on the yard. I've got a decent flower garden going, with irises (left by the previous owners - thanks!), petunias, bluebonnets, shamrocks, and some other kind of pink flower. I think I might add a few more things in this weekend. We're also trying our hand at container tomatoes, strawberries, and herbs. Wish us luck, because our thumbs aren't very green yet.<br clear="all" />Mandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02271871362091384360noreply@blogger.com
