navasota windows

heeeeeey navasota posse, HEY!

do you remember them singing that during basketball games? navasota was frickin' intimidating. they all looked like adults against some scrawny, little pip-squeaks.

however, they have a nice, old, traditional, small-town downtown. these are some windows from one of the buildings.

white poppies

clare likes to see the goldfish in the courtyard of the hotel san jose on our way back from joe's coffee shop. these little poppies by the reflecting pond are so floppy and friendly looking that i had to draw them, so i brought a camera one day.

i've explained to clare how the hairy, little pods open up into flowers, and it's so fun to see her get excited about a pod that opened up overnight that wasn't there the day before...

eggs

anthony's dad and uncle david are raising chickens and rabbits and doing some large scale gardening out on their land in oak hill. i took rosie out there recently to survey some work they were doing and to meet the animals. rosie looooved it. she was running around, acting like a big dog. it was incredibly amusing.

anthony's uncle david gave me two of these eggs right from chicken cage.
