There is Nothing Like Rain

Love all the color, especially the green,
since we usually don't have it for long.

A new section in my landscape that has really
been successful from all the rain.

Everything is so pretty when it rains

Flowers bloom and leaves are green.

The temporary Fish Pond makes a wonderful water feature.

My dry creek bed is a feature I enjoy when there is no rain.

Working on my landscaping.  I like the process of the idea to conception,
 to watching the plants grow better than I had planned.

Having a little fun with my landscaping.

After years of mowing weeds to look like we had a yard,
this year... we actually have a real yard.

When you just don't have time to get to the lake to fish.....

Texas Style

No, not really....In taking out the pond, we had to take our Koi fish out of the pond and move them to a temporary "home" until we can build a new pond.  We hadn't cleaned the pond in awhile so it was hard to find the fish as the water was draining.  But take a look at my husband's attire..LOL.  He is wearing a t-shirt that says "Just Do It" and camouflage shorts, with a different camouflage  print rubber boots and drinking a beer.  He cracks me up.  Even one of our dogs enjoyed helping to locate the fish, while my husband scooped it up in a net, then my daughter would take it out of the net and put in a bucket.

"There it is daddy, get it!"

We would then carry the bucket to the "new" location and she would take them from the bucket and put into the trough.  17 Koi.  It was a long evening and a funny one.  The fish would freak out with the moving bucket and occasionally would jump out!   But we got them all transferred safely.
