"Q" is for Quack!

Meet George. He is the Pekin duck that lives and QUACKS at our pond. He and his mate, Gracie, are fairly new additions to our little piece of Texas.
They are fascinating to watch and listen to and have great personalities. When I speak to George he turns his head and listens (processes), very much like our dog does. He really QUACKS me up! (sorry couldn't resist that)



Have a Quirky day

"P" is for Pink Pistol! Only in Texas is it "normal" to name a boutique Pink Pistol. The Pink Pistol boutique and Red 55 Winery are located in Lindale, TX about 20 miles from our home. Lindale is the home of country music star Miranda Lambert. Miranda is also part of a country western group called The Pistol Annie's, hence the name.

The store is full of t-shirts and tourist stuff, and memorabilia from Miranda's music career. The grand opening was held last weekend complete with a visit from Miranda, tons of bling and a whole lot of PINK (what else). People came from across the country and stood in line for hours to see the store (we did not). It was a lot of excitement for a town who's populations is less than 7000. 

Have a Perfect day

"M" is for Millionaire pumpkins. We spent our morning at the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Gardens. It drizzled rain the entire time we were there but we persevered. An amazing amount of pumpkins decorated the grounds. I loved the colors and variations of the millionaire pumpkins.
What a great place to visit!



Have a Marvelous Day
