March 24 & 25 - A lovely day in Texas

Yesterday was a bit cloudy so we just took it easy.  Today was a lovely day so we went to Memorial park where Kirk and I could meander the trails and Cam could ride his bike.

This little dragon would like to eat that dragonfly


love that hot black trail

In the afternoon, I went to the pool, mainly because I could, and did some aquacises.  Then we went to Redfish Willie's Waterfront grill and had some great cajun gumbo, shrimp and prime rib for that true Texas mix.   Nice view of marina from restaurant.  Drink of the night was a Fish bowl.

After that we cruised along the marina looking at a wide variety of commercial shrimpers, sailboats, megacruisers, flatboats, etc.

Fresh snow here on Thursday but the new stuff is all gone now. -13C last night yet the sun has lots of power now we are past equinox. Going up to +1C maybe today. Robins arrived at our house yesterday. Temps will have to get up a bit more for the rest of them to come even though there is not much snow left anywhere except for full shade areas.
Nice sailboat!
