Good morning blog friends. It is spring -- we have 88 deg one day and then 78 deg the next. (Those are Fahrenheit readings, of course.) We desperately need rain but it isn't happening. Perhaps this week...

P.S. -- today (Monday) it is 60 degrees and will be in the 40's tonight!)

It is wild flower time -- we have seen a few flowers -- the pink evening primrose and some bluebonnets are blooming along the freeway -- that combination of colors is delightful. It is so dry, however, that our flowers aren't making a grand show this year. We have bluebonnets but they are only 1/2 their normal size.

Meanwhile, we have bought a new car! This is a big event for us -- we keep our vehicles for a long time -- Sweetie just sold his pickup -- he bought it new and drove it for 20 years! My car is a 2003 and we will keep driving it -- it was a year old when we bought it. Usually we buy less than new cars -- in years past they were called second-hand but now the most used phrase is pre-owned. Our new vehicle, however, is NEW -- and it is pretty. It is a small SUV and that is not my favorite type of vehicle, but it was Sweetie's time to choose and this is what he wanted!

It has a lot of bells and whistles -- the electric driver's seat allows me to raise the seat until I have a clear view through the windshield. No more peering over the steering wheel!

We also get On-Star free for 6-months. I think that will be nice. The car (through On-Star) has a hands free phone -- isn't that a hoot! Our new car has it's own phone and it's own phone number. Other features are pretty standard in today's new cars -- they are just NEW to us since we have been driving old, old vehicles!

Today is quilting day and I'm looking forward to the fellowship and the time to work on a couple of projects. Gotta run -- hope you all have a great day!
