Explanation: The Omicron Cetians have been silenced. After alien-like monsters were reported to disturb his daughter's sleep for four nights in a row, this father took action. When last questioned, the daughter seemed to indicate that the hullabaloo might have come from a planetary system possibly sounding like "Omicron Ceti". Getting to the root of the problem, the dad then took his daughter outside and used a powerful laser to blast the alien's home world. Humorously, the parent star Omicron Ceti now shows itself to be unstable and is dramatically increasing its brightness. Happy April Fool's Day from the folks at APOD. In actuality, the star being pointed out is Mira, a famous variable star expected to reach its maximum brightness again in late August. The father in question was actually pointing out, to his daughter, the star that shares her name.
This next song is The eyes of Texas, a very important song in my family as both my children (and their Dad) went to University of Texas. All three grandchildren will be headed there one day!
The first weekend in April is when everybody in Houston decides to drive out to the country to see the fields of Bluebonnets! It is also nice to find a little Country Church. My Son took his family out on such an adventure yesterday in search of the Wildflowers. Surprise, they came to Kates Cabin to see Grandma Poppy and my flowers!!! What a great Day to see my Boys!!

Here Are Bluebonnets in my front Yard!
Blast from the Past:
When both the kids were at the University of Texas, I moved to Austin to be close to them! I found a job as a Chef and stayed there 5 years. I fell in love with the 'music scene' happening at Austin City Limits. I met Patty Griffin back in those days and just fell in love with her music. Tonight, You get a mini-concert featuring 4 of her songs, so you can feel the music!
This is Patty Griffin:

Explanation: Do you recognize the city lights of Paris in this picture? Taken on March 25 from the top of the 210 meter tall Montparnasse skyscraper, many will spot the looming Eiffel Tower, or the large domed structure of Les Invalides (right), or the colorfully lit elevated Metro train line gently curving toward picture center. You can even pick out the Arc de Triomphe close to the horizon on the right. But regardless of your location, the celestial lights near the western horizon should look very familiar. The lovely triple conjuntion of brilliant Venus (top), Jupiter, and a young crescent Moon was visible in evening skies around planet Earth.
We have stopped by Paris to say Hello to a friend of mine: Gurbet Kusu. Below, His beautiful work is focused on World Peace.
I have included his Blog address below, check it out!
Bonjour (Hello) Gurbet: Greetings from Texas!
