We FINALLY got a dash of rain today. It's been too long already since our last storm. Hopefully the forecast for the next few days holds true, and we get more rain ... lots more rain. We already have large cracks in the ground from the dry conditions. Some of the grass in the yard is brittle, and browning. NOT a good sign for the rest of the year if conditions don't improve.
You know how much I love Texas weather. 
On the bright side, the wildflowers are getting more and more beautiful as the days go by. I've GOT to get out and take some photos!
And the June bugs are coming out in force, too. They are so uncoordinated! If turtles could fly, but mostly just crashed, they would be just bigger June bugs.
I love this illustration! Is it also a stamp? So cute!

LOVE that illustration, Miss Anna! Adorable! I think [maybe] I know what a June bug looks like, but you might need to snap a photo of one in flight (or crashing) and one sitting still. ;-)

I've never seen a June bug and I don't think I ever want too!! It's been raining here all day - I'll send the storm down to you when we're done with it. Rain is awesome!! :)

We have had lots of rain here and teh dandelions are starting to grow. Need to get them sprayed now. We are still in a serious drought though.
I love your flower image with the fat bee.

Did you know that June Bugs + Motorcycle + 35MPH + No helmet=DISASTER?
Just thought I'd pass that along to you. No charge for this public service announcement.

Ooh, imagine how pretty this image would look on fabric as a coordinate for the journal fabric. Yum! (I think you need to get yours marketed so we can buy yards and yards!)
