Once again, Donna and I haven't been up to much. We're mainly just loafing about the house. We do our regular walks, putter about the house a bit, go out to eat once in a while, maybe take a drive around the lake, and that's about it.
Earlier this week, we went out to San Angelo State Park for a walk. Gosh, the wind blew so hard. It was blowing steady at 20 or more mph, and gusting at 35 or more. It really made walking hard. But we persevered and got our 5+ miles in.
I hoped to see some color at the park, but there is very little out there. It has simply been too dry this year, I'm afraid. I'd like to get down to the Hill Country to view the wild flowers; perhaps we'll venture there soon.
For now, I'll leave you with this pitiful collection of tiny flowers. It's all the color I could find on our walk.

| We saw several stands of these purple flowers. They are quite small. I do not know what they are. |

| When we walk at the park -- as opposed to hike -- we stay on park roads such as this. This road is no longer maintained, and it gets very little traffic. As a result, it is a good place to walk. Notice the trail up the slope beyond the road. |
 |
| I noticed these little orange blooms at the foot of this prickly pear. I look forward to watching the cactus roses later on. |

| Near the end of our walk, we passed this small herd of bison. Notice that the mesquite trees are leafing out. |
