George Jones Dead

Texas has lost another great entertainer who made Country Music come to life.  He has been a legend in his own right for many years.  Who's going to fill his shoes I ask? 
Jones was born Sept. 12, 1931, in a log house near the east Texas town of Saratoga, the youngest of eight children.
Condolences to all the people who were involved in his life.  He will be missed in Country Music, but will live on is his songs.

Five Living

Dallas, TX is host to the five living Presidents as they celebrate the opening of the George W. Bush Presidential Library.  The SMU campus is where the library is located and high security has been in place for several days.  America, has once again given us status here in the Dallas, TX area.  We hope that all goes well without incident, considering the recent events and tragedies.  Congrats to George W. and Laura Bush on this special day.

Turning Green

 

Leaves are strting to come out on all the trees, with the warm temps we've been having.  This was a week ago, and now they are full of leaves.  I need to take another picture to show you.  I love spring with all the new growth.

Front

Just a display of spring in my front flower beds.  All too soon they will be bloomed out and I have to wait another year to see their beauty.  Gotta love Spring.

Beautiful

Such a beautiful day out and they say we have another chance for cool temps, here in North Texas.  Sure thought spring was here.  Guess it's just going to be a rioty one for us down here.  I'm just going to enjoy what we have today and keep an open mind.

Texas Blast Kills

A huge blast from a fertilizer plant in West, TX has killed at least 5 possibly more and sent over 180 people to local and nearby hospitals.  The small town just north of Waco, TX is home to about 2800 people.  The blasts leveled many area homes and businesses.  Emergency crews were dispatched to the scene to help in any way possible.  The fumes from the fertilizer was considered to be unsafe.  People were evacuated to safer distances and triage was setup in a ball field to help with the injured.
Our prayers are with those affected by this disaster.

Storms

It's been raining and storming all morning.  A few minutes ago lightning knocked off power for a few seconds and I had to rebut this damn computer.  I was going out today to do some errands, but realized early on that the weather wasn't going to hold.  So here I sit making do another day, until maybe the weather will cooperate with me.

It's Spring

I walked out the front door this morning and there it was.  The beautiful iris that Mom had planted some years back.  The rains have made everything green and the spring flowers are bursting forth their beauty.  I noticed my red rose has a bloom on it that's starting to open.  It's ggoing to be a windy day, but it will have warm temps and plenty of sun.
