It's a BIG Country

Well, I'm sitting at my uncle's in College Station, TX, the cat in the lounge upstairs, Jonie playing with Dharma (my uncle's Golden Retriever) in the fenced in part of the yard with my grandfather sleeping in a chair nearby, watching a lizard make repeated attempts to scale the window (each attempt punctuated by a "thud" as the lizard hits the glass, balances on the pane borders, and then, within moments, concluded with a second "thud" as it falls on to the window sill). I arrived here early this morning, and I'm almost too tired for useful thoughts - I've been sleeping VERY badly, and I've driven about 1750 miles since I left NYC at 9:30 AM on Tuesday morning.

For now, I'm going to take the Jonie for a walk and take some pictures of the spring flowers in Texas, for though I've been here before, it was always in July and August (including one year when it was over 100 degrees 40 days in a row!) and it's much, much nicer here in April! ;) Poor lizard...
