I had promised some wildflower pictures , took me a while to figure out how to do this as I am not used to posting yet. 
Posted pictures of my brother for some personal friends.  He was paralyzed from the waist down due to a major staf infection he contracted in late 2008 and almost died when it was discovered 3-09 by the Dallas VA hospital.  He had a scratch that he received working at Kroger grocery store, Ft. Worth, Tx and did not take care of it.  It was in the middle of his lower back and thought it would be ok.  Just goes to show you really need to clean up any scratches or something like this could happen.  Dallas VA gets nothing but praise from me over this situation.  Two Harris Methodist hospitals supposedly did not find the MRSA infection which is still hard for me to believe.
He was very depressed the first 6 months but then learned to accept the situation even though it was hard.  His VA home  says he is a social butterfly, ha, ha and I am thankful for the way he has adjusted and accepted his life as it is now.  He will never walk again.  He served 1 year in Vietnam and rest of  Air Force time, state-side.  He says he is thankful I can help care for him and see to any needs he
has, either medical or personal.  He was divorced 2 years prior to this situation and has a 21 year old daughter at Bedford, Tx  and a son, 23 years old who is in the Army .  They both see him when they can.

Hope everyone enoys the pictures and has a great day today. Also want to welcome Charlotte as a
follower to my blog, glad to have you on board . Charlotte, I have been working on a quilt for over a year now and almost have it cut out, then I can start sewing.  It is one of those patch quilts that you stitch all layers in rows with batting in between and then it is done.  The seams are stitched facing up.
Forgot to mention, the bluebonnets are all gone due to too much heat.  We are now consistently having 90 degree plus and no rain in sight. So dry now it is scaring everyone here due to fire danger. Wildfires still burning in NW Texas.  I guess it will end up burning 2 million acres or so.

Have a safe day everyone.  Our Easter day was good but exhausting.

Love In Christ,

Marie
