Iris

These are some of the yellow iris that mother planted several years ago.  They are blooming out very pretty this year.

The Trees

Once again spring has arrived and the trees are turning green.  I love this time of year and all the new growth and flowers that bloom.  God sure has made a beautiful world.

Iris

 

These iris are right at the front door, which gives me pleasure each time I go in and out of the house.

Red Rose

Last year I planted this rose bush and this year it's showing it's approval.  I really love roses and hope to get this nice bush to grow and thrive.

It's This Way

 

If you don't like Texas weather, just wait a few minutes.  It will change.  Don't be sad if it isn't what you were hoping for, because anything can happen.

A Texas Temp?

It's been a crazy year, so far.  We've had all types of weather and many disaster's have hit certain areas of the US.  Texas, has been having the warm cool type of weather with a bit of rain on occasion.  While this helps the drought conditions, we are still below what is needed to keep the lakes at a good level.  Today, is a beautiful crisp spring morning, with low 40's at 9am.  It's a warm up trend which will last two or three days and once again a cold snap.  My sinus's are killing me, with the new pollen that is being strewn around.  I'm ready for warmer weather, how about you guys?

Spring Yet?

 

Well, what do you think?  These spring flowers are blooming and the temps are real nice.  The ground hog predicted that we would have an early spring.........so, now it's a wait and see.

Rain

 

It turned out to be a fast moving storm, with alot of high winds and some rain.  There was thunder and lightning to go with the scary time.  Even my grandson, who lives up in Nebraska,  saw on the news that it was bad down here and chatted with me to checkup on me.  It wasn't as bad here as it became other places.  For that I am thankful because of the huge old trees here in my yard.

Trees

These are some of the trees around my house.  It gets downright dangerous when a storm comes through our area.  I keep my fingers crossed when there are high winds involved.  You never know when a big limb can come crashing down.

How To

There are two different types of growing for tomatoes........do you know the difference?

It's Crazy

During December and through January the Texas weather has been crazy.  You can see this snow fall and the very next day it was all melted.  Gone and temps in the 60's came back to grace us.  I wonder what this weather will do to the bugs infestation this year?  Last year we had grasshoppers that ate everything in sight.  Hopefully we will have a better year.
