Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous...
This afternoon was absolutely gorgeous. Sunshine, light breeze and 76 degrees. We don't often have days like that here - spring is fleeting in Texas - so I was determined to enjoy it. With that in mind, I took my camera and went in search of pictures. When I got the camera for Christmas, I did warn you that there would be pic spam in your future. Well, the future is now. ;)

The second pear tree and the small redbud tree farther out in the yard

My Dad doing yard work
Obligatory picture of Dad and an unhappy Smokey the Cat
My mom and Smokey the Cat, supervising the proceedings

The reason that Smokey the Cat was unhappy was because they wouldn't let him in their garage to use Boy the Cat's litter box. Smokey still remembers when that garage and litter box were his, dammit, and he doesn't see why he can't pee there, too. In fact, if they leave the garage door up, Smokey will sneak in there to use it. ;)
