Gene rode his trike this morning.  I went on the walk around the lake.  I walk only a mile but that is better than zero miles.  I came back and sketched on the footstool.

Gene left after I did.  I was taking photos of flowers along the way and I looked up and saw him coming on the trail.  As he rode up, he said, "I'm smiling!"  then again after I said nothing, "I'm smiling!" Oh, I was taking photos.  Duh!  So I took a photo of him.

The flowers are not as abundant as some of the time.  Here is some of the variety we have at the moment.

I think the first is Black Eyed Susan with the eye actually being a real dark red.  Then the little Wine Cups, so pretty.  The Indian Paintbrush and Indian Blankets.  A little pink thistle looking one and some other tiny pink ones with more of the Susans.

I forgot to put the Mexican Hats in the collage.

And, this may be a kind of Queen Anne's Lace.

It was windy and muggy, the easterly lake was without reflections for the moment and the westerly had some reflections.

Gene got the storm door installed.  He has been wanting one for the front door for a while.  So I got one for Mother's Day.

The Longhorns won their baseball game last night against Kansas.  They don't have to play today because they are in the winners bracket of a double elimination tournament.  One of today's games will determine who they play tomorrow.  Texas Tech and TCU are the Number 1 and 2 seeds but both lost their first game.  It will be interesting to see how today finishes up and who the Longhorns play tomorrow.  Hook 'em Horns!
