Randomocity



It feels like we have been very busy lately but it also feel like there is nothing to write about so here is a smattering of our recent life and times. 

Captain Y went fishing for the first time in a loooooooong time and caught a Warsaw grouper and a nice red snapper.  Too bad snapper season isn’t open yet so he had to throw it back.




Despite planting late, the garden has really taken off.  Thus far we’ve harvested two cherry tomatoes and a half dozen okra. There are more okra growing, a bunch of green tomatoes and some tiny little bell peppers. 



Our basil plant is HUGE.



I’ve gotten used to seeing odd things when I open the refrigerator.  You never know what Captain Y has stashed in there.  And yet, I’m still surprised when I see something like this looking back at me.  



We had a crawfish boil last weekend.  It was delicious but we forgot to take photos :-(

We went to the spring NASCAR race at Texas Motor Speedway and had a great time.  The weekend deserves its own post if I can ever make myself sit down and write about it.  


Captain Y went turkey hunting in Oklahoma with some of his buddies and got these two Tom’s on the last hunt of his trip. 

 

 We got to see Scars on 45 play at the House of Blues and stuck around after the show to talk to the band.  This is our second time to see them live; they put on an excellent show.  


This little wren flew into the garage the other day; I think she wanted to use the washing machine, or maybe just help me sort the laundry.

  1. I was wondering how your garden was coming along this year. We just harvested our first things this weekend- green beans! Okra is close behind, then maybe jalapenos. Looks like this year will be much better than last! When are you guys going to come see us?

    1. I can't believe how large your garden is or how well it's doing this year. Let me know what your summer plans look like, and we'll see if we can plan a trip!
