Beaded 2 Bless

Spring is still struggling with winter and will soon be overpowered by summer's heat here in the countryside of Texas. In the wee hours of the morning the temperature managed to drop from a comfortable 70-ish to a chilly 50-ish and now- cold rain. I am thankful for the rain, but I am not a fan of the cold. I tend to get slow, crickety and cranky when the cold comes in and today is no exception. These wild Blackberries are loving the spring rains.

On the other side of the wall is the safe room(storm cellar underneath) and office. You can also just see the edge of the back door. The other end is the one I will be avoiding- it has the kids'...
