Rain was predicted - so we had sun and warm weather (70's) today. Weatherpeople seem to have the same rate of success everywhere.Photo 1 - a redbud in full bloom (I didn't realize they could withstand both southern summers and northern winters)
Photos 2 & 3 - deer hunting (plus just plain old hitting-them-on-the-road) is BIG business in the area. This is Mason's Deer Processing Warehouse (I am NOT exaggererating when I tell you it is bigger than their supermarket!) The first photo shows their sign "We Accept HOG" (lots of wild boar down here as well). And, in case you can't read the other photo it says "Vacuum Packed" and the top says "24 Hour Drop Off" (guess you just leave it on their front step with a note if they're not there).
Photo 4 - Texas bluebonnets are just beginning to bloom - a smaller version of Maine's big ones. I'm told the Texas ones are annuals unlike the lupins we have in the northeast.
Photo 5 - The last major piece (and probably the most complicated cut) of sheetrock went up today. In Photo 7 John is putting in the last screw.
Photo 6 - Angie & Karen took advantage of the pretty day to paint doors.
Photo 7 - The goats across the street from the Habitat house. The 4 kids have been great fun to watch. (There is no zoning in Mason so several homes have goats or sheep on their lot.)
Last photo - Bush/vine from the house next to the Habitat house. Have no idea what it is but it sure is pretty!
