Let’s go.

The first bluebonnets.

The Carolina Jasmine is waking up.

The Mountain Laurels around the neighborhood are beautiful.

Nothing says Spring like a pot of annuals.

Our Croos Vine is in full bloom.

The patio area is looking like Spring

The roses are going to town.

Pansies look lovely.

What could be a better sign of Spring than a honey bee hovering over a crossvine bloom?

Time now to relax with food and entertainment. I hope you have a super week.

    I haven’t been able to step outside myself yet, but I really want to, as something is flowering in our hedge. It was lovely to join you for a walkabout, John. Thanks for the invite…
