It was about 70 degrees today! I was out riding my bicycle and spotted a whole yard of these crocuses. I had to stop and take a picture.

Remy loved her Valentine's Day gift! She was a little poodle with a heart in her mouth, named Honey Bun. Remy announced that she would call her "Sweet Honey Bun".

Remy loved her Valentine's dress! She was so sweet, running and giving me a big hug, "Thank you Grammy!" She said she hoped her friends at school would like her new dress.

Finished Remy's Valentine's dress today. I can't wait to see her wear it!

Today, Remy told me her eyes were magical. I believe she is correct!

Windows open today - in January? The high temp today was 66 degrees!

So happy to have passed these tests and gained new credentials - RPFT!

Today, Remy and I helped install the new doors at my house. We also helped the electrician wire the kitchen and install ceiling fans. We actually played on the tail gate of my truck, who needs a playpen when G'ma has a truck?

I got a good photo of the eagles on their nest at the lake, everyone is excited that they are here!

One last bird photo from my Texas vacation!

The lone spoonbill that I found today in Port A.

Guess who is 30 years old today? We went to San Juan's to celebrate after IU won their basketball game!

We had to wait for a table at Moby Dick's this evening. We all had fish of course!

Ahh, one of my favorite birds to watch.....

I found this Snowy Egret at Leona Turnbull birding center in Port Aransas. I love watching them fish, they wiggle their yellow feet to stir up the little fish and then snatch them up.

Another unusual sight this trip is these Red Heads all congregated together in a pond in between the park headquarters and Malaquite. The bank of the pond was nearly solid with the Red Heads with a small number of Blue Wing Teal and turtles.

This is the first time I have been able to photograph the Crested Caracara. I've seen them every day this trip.

I love watching the Reddish Egrets fish. They raise their wings to shadow the water so they can see their prey easier. It is like a dance they do, fascinating to watch!

Thule seems to LOVE the beach! He enjoys running on the flat sand and kicking it up with his hind legs. We rode over to Malaquite where all the beachcombers loved seeing him ride in the front basket on my bike.

I drove until about 3AM, slept for a little while and then was at Snoopy's by 11AM! Then, out to Bird Island where the wind was blowing and I surfed for the afternoon, perfect.....
