Tyler Texas

It has been raining today, but before it started, we took a ride to downtown Tyler.  Look at the street.  It is cobblestone.  And old.  And beautiful.

The downtown was pretty big, and I noticed that not just in Tyler, but in all of Texas, there are some beautiful big churches.

This church is the First Baptist Church and HUGE!  This is right down town Tyler.  And this isn't the only church downtown.  So many more.

And if you are riding around and want something to eat, you can stop here at Sum 2eat.  This used to be Hattie Mae's Sum 2eat but it looks like it is closed for good.

The birds are finding the bird seed that I am leaving out for them.  Here is a cardinal.  Both male and female have been coming around, but I could only get a photo of the male.

And even though the blue jays look a bit different down here, they are still pretty noisy.  And bossy.

The woodpecker is pretty much the same though.  We have so many snow birds, finches and other kinds, that it is just so nice to see such a huge variety.

And I can't forget a photo of Tully.  And Ethel.  These two are best buds. Ethel gets upset though if Tully takes the whole blanket.  Ethel likes to be on the pillow and under the blanket.  Tully likes to be on top of the blanket, but with a corner of the blanket over her.  They are happy to be home either way.
