As they rest of the family was closing up the old house from Antique Alley, I heard sirens in the distance. It seems the gas compressors at the pump station caught fire. The Maypearl Volunteer Fire Department responded an let it burn out. They closed 916 to traffic, but luckily there was no explosion.

My Older Sisters Weapon of Choice
Do you recognize this AC? When we were kids growing up I had to play with my older sister (there were no other kids close by). I was playing with this in the yard one day when she came along and gave it a shove. She almost took my thumb off. Of course, all my childhood injuries were her fault. Little Sister drug this out to try to sell at Antique Alley this weekend. It didn't sell.

Easter Cold Snap
Lynne and I went to the old house Thursday night to mow and do a little clean up. The Old Blush rose was blooming nicely.
There was one Iris blooming and all the rest were on the verge of coming out.
And then... Saturday morning it started snowing before 9 o'clock in the morning and snowed all day long. It melted as soon as it hit the warm ground, but stayed for awhile on the grass, trees, and roofs.
It was really pretty. Down between Hillsboro and Waco they had over four inches of the white stuff. I don't think we had that much.

What's Growing In My Front Yard
These are pictures of things I found growing in my front yard. I don't know what the blue flowers are but there are clumps of them all over the yard.
Another that I don't know the name of. They are very small though. There were some smaller pink and red ones that I couldn't get a picture of.
And of course these are the Blue Bonnets. The hillside is covered with them and the photos don't do them justice.
