This field of Texas Bluebonnets, beautiful though it may be, harbors something you'd rather not meet face to face....
Diamondback Rattlers like flowers too!
Here's hoping that all of you are having a good Memorial Day weekend. We had company all day; our son and his family, our baby daughter and my brother-in-law (Mr. kenju's baby brother). Older daughter and her family couldn't come - which was a shame. My third granddaughter swam in the pool - even though it was no more than 71*. I swear that girl is part dolphin!
We ate hotdogs and brats with all the fixin's, baked beans, potato salad, corn on the cob and watermelon. And since we are having company Monday also, I have to go to the store and buy more food for dinner (we decimated most of what I had today.) Unfortunately, my BIL has to return home tomorrow morning, which is a shame. I was hoping to tell our friends that they got 'two brothers for the price of one' (which probably isn't all that funny!) They won't know what they missed; mr. kenju's brother is much, much funnier than mr. k is!

That is one scary snake!! The brats sound perfect for a party. Happy Holiday!
Hmmm! Snakes in the flowers, eh? Sounds a dangerous place, Raleigh! ;)
And what are brats? And what fixings go with them?
Sometime the US sounds more foreign that Africa to me!! But I love you all!
It sounds like you had quite a party at your place yesterday! Enjoy today.
One thing good about rattlers, they are gentlemen and let you know they are there. Better than the sneaky copperheads here.
71 degree pool water isn't bad once you get moving, infact it encourages it. Glad someone was brave enough to wet a toe.
Glad you had a nice family weekend.
That looks like one scary snake! And look what's hiding in all that beauty!
That is one granddaddy of a rattler. I think he is too old and fat to be very dangerous. At least I would hope so.
Have another wonderful day.
What a fun holiday you are having.
Ours has been quiet and peaceful. Sometimes we need one of those.
Sounds like my kind of picnic.
Glad you all had a good day and the rain held off ! Me too.
Sounds good!!!!!!!!!! Enjoy!!!!
I'm a native Texan and love the Texas bluebonnets. I've never cared for the rattlesnakes found in Texas.
