Easter pics in the Texas Hill Country 2023


The first 2 videos were taken at our daughter's house 

over the Easter weekend:

This first one is our daughter and granddaughter with their horses, Tootsie and Hemi eating carrots from their front porch.




This video is of one of our daughter holding one of their bunnies. They have some black, some gray, some black and white... and they had one little golden one that has already found a home. The people who took him sent this next pic of the bunny with their puppy.



So it looks like he has found a good home... and a companion dog.

Also the trip to the hill country was not altogether uneventful. We kept getting alerts saying one of our tires was losing air. DH filled it twice on the road, but it wouldn't hold. So we finally found an Auto place in this little town... but they had just closed for lunch... so we waited out in the car in the rain for an hour (actually looked for a place to eat while waiting, but didn't find anything). But the place eventually opened and the people were very nice, fixed the tire (had a screw in it), and we were on the road again. However, our 4.5 hour trip ended up taking more like 7.5 hours.

But the rest of the weekend was lovely. We hadn't been to our daughter's house since 2019 (right before the pandemic) so it was wonderful to spend time there. Here are a few pics we took to commemorate the occasion. 










There are more pics and videos, but I won't inflict all of them on you. These are enough to get the gist of our visit. 

We went out to the little town of Boerne on Saturday, dinner out at the Vinyard on Saturday night, and then we cooked for Easter Sunday. We had 'Marry Me Chicken', spinach cups, roasted garlic potatoes, and carrot souffle for our Easter dinner with 4 different kinds of mini cheesecakes for dessert. Scrumptious!

Granddaughter had to leave after lunch to get back to A&M as she had classes Monday morning. But the men watched a movie and daughter and I went for a long walk down the country road in the afternoon (my steps went over 4000 - which is high for me. Hers usually top 10,000).

Before I close this post, here is a video of our gray feral kitten who is getting big... he reminds us so much of our Ghost.  Here he is walking through the high grass in the back to the patio. We let the grass grow around Easter as the cats enjoy hiding in it.




That's it for today's post. Hope everyone had a nice Easter!


Hugs (virtual),

Rian

  1. I loved seeing your videos, which do help tell stories very well. I love that puppy and bunny picture especially. So cute! And those ears are definitely very special. I do hope you had a good time away, and that your tire was fixed eventually. Sending back some virtual hugs. :-)

    1. It was a great visit... love being with them... as well as all the animals. Moose (the Great Dane) thinks he's a lap dog and loves to be close by you at all times.

    1. The drive down was long due to the tire and the weather... but yes, it was well worth it.

  5. I'm so glad you had a wonderful Easter weekend, minus the hiccup with the tire, of course. I loved the videos and pics. The one with the golden bunny and new woofie companion is over-the-top adorable. ♥

    1. Yes, the golden bunny (I call Peter) did well in his new home. He and their pup seem to be good friends. She sent another pic of Peter with another rabbit friend that had come over for a play date.

  6. Oh I loved seeing the videos and the pictures. What a beautiful home and farm your daughter has. I love how the horses come right up to the porch...and bunnies that hop around in the yard. My kind of place! Never seen such tame bunnies. Your kitty is awfully sweet too. Thank you so much for sharing these. Made my day. I'll have to come back and look again. You have a beautiful daughter, and granddaughter.

    1. Thanks, Henny. I wanted to take pics of the black bunny that lives close by in the pasture... (I call him Romeo) He visits the stall where my daughter keeps the female bunnies every day. He can't get in, but he touches noses with the girls inside in the space between the door.
