Birds



The neighborhood Guinea Hens

  In our park we have a group on Guinea Hens, Roosters, and Black Chickens. Along with a goat. The story with the goat is that the county just let three of them roam around to keep the grass down. They all have a big yellow tag hanging from their ear. If you saw the goat from behind it almost looks like a deer. So, one of our neighbors call it a doat. Funny!!
The birds are from the neighbors of the campground and just visit now and then.


Tern


The birds on the beach are interesting. We don't see these in Nebraska.

Terns, Skimmers and Seagulls on the beach

 Last week it got below freezing for about 3 nights and was very cold during the day. So, we unhooked the water during those nights and put up blankets and towels on the windows to keep the warmth in. I think it helps, but it feels like we are in a cave.  Saturday Morning, things were warming up, so off came the insulation and in came the sun!!! Yeah!!!!
This coming week is suppose to be very nice. 70's!!!  Sounds like a beach day coming up!!!
I can't wait! Later-M

Brrrrrrrr!!!!!!

Doesn't get much better than this!!

 A week ago we were at the beach and today we are hibernating inside the rig.  It is 28 degrees outside this morning and we have about a quarter inch of ice on everything. I even see icicles!!!  The area is pretty much shut down. Schools are closed, all the bridges and overpasses are blocked off. The news is telling everyone to stay home. This isn't the way it is suppose to be in southern TEXAS!!!!  But, by tomorrow the temps are suppose to be in the 60's, Yeah!!!!!!

Freddie the new beach dog!!

 Sooooooo, what better thing to do, but show off my beach pictures!!    Our friends from Michigan (Rick and Gail) and their two Golden Retrievers, Our friends from Iowa (Terry and Linda) and their Pekingese and Schnauzer mix dogs, along with our group all headed to the beach.  We had a great time, grilling out, playing games and just sitting around taking it all in!!! 

Dog day at the beach!

The dogs all got along great!!  Tucker even got to play frisbee, off leash!!!!

Last year we sat right next to the bulls eye for a group of Parashooters. Which was exciting!! And this time we saw a HUGE scaffolding structure going out of the main jetties to the Gulf of Mexico. I'm assuming it had something to do with an Oil Well. That was quite the site!  It had, from what we could tell, 3 tug boats pulling it and 2 tug boats behind it. You just never know what you'll see at the beach!

Mandi and Logan

Some type of HUGE oil well equipment going out to the Gulf, with tub boats

Our set up on the beach

As usual the day went too fast, but I'm sure we will be back again!! Later-M
