Extreme Couponing

On a recent grocery run, I was pretty proud of myself for finding so many deals.

What Grows in Texas?

My mom recently asked me what the gardens were like in Texas. What do people grow here? I did not inherit my mother's love of gardening so I haven't really paid attention until now. I snapped a few shots of what we see in our "garden". 





Earlier in the spring, I noticed some pretty blue wild flowers growing beside the highway. Ok to tell you the truth, I didn't really notice them until I saw people on multiple occasions taking family photos amongst them. I learned quickly that they were Texas bluebonnets. And here I initially mistook the state flower, the pride of Texas, as a bunch of flowery weeds on the side of the highway. Like I said, I didn't inherit my mother's love of gardening.

Because it's hot in Texas

To keep the high school football players hydrated, they have this huge contraption for them to drink from.

It was so hot at an outdoor banquet that they brought out huge fans in an attempt to keep us cool.
