In Between the Rain


Liz found this place when it was under re-construction. It is Hot Wells Hotel on the River Walk. It was several things over the years - sulfur springs touting health benefits, a hotel and spa for the famed (with a movie studio built across the river; a movie studio in San Antonio!),  a dormitory and school.

We went there while they were working on it and she looked around a bit. It's now a park and we can officially visit it without sneaking around (of course, we still can't go inside the buildings). 


A Red Admirable in the field behind the Catholic Church. 
So many beautiful wild flowers and butterflies and birds back there! The grass is a little tall to walk in the field right now (Texas doesn't like to cut down the wild flowers until they're ready to die). But we go back there to fly kites and shoot off rockets and walk, when the field is tame. I like it both ways.


Harrison and neighborhood buddy climbing a tree near the library. I love our library. It's near woods and trails and a park. The back area has a large porch with rocking chairs. There's a sort of creek with huge rocks that Harrison likes to climb around on. This tree was close by the creek and perfect for climbing. Climbing trees, jumping rocks, running down trails  ~ that's the stuff life is built on. Some of of the stuff anyway.
