Along the upper Texas coast the first signs of spring are weeds! Yes, weeds, they pop up in your grass, flower beds, and in the cracks in the pavement...everywhere! As annoying as that is, it's still a sign of spring. I am itching to rake the last of the winter leaves, put out the weed and feed, and mow the grass. I know that is just a fleeting moment...soon I'll be complaining about mowing, the heat, and weeds (summer weeds this time). You see we have weeds just about all the time...it never gets cold enough down here to kill them off.
Hummm lets see...need to put new gas and filters in the mower, edger and blower (gotta have that mechanization you know), sharpen the tools and...he mumbled as he wandered off toward the garage.
Retirees do that you know!

Another day:
Wow...what a difference a day makes! Yesterday spring like temperature and blue skies have been replaced with low hanging battleship grey skies and cool damp winds. Well that's southeast Texas winters for you. Ahhh but spring is just around the corner.

Spring...well almost!
I know its February, but here in south east Texas the weather is teasing us...warm days and cool nights. It enough to make you want to "dig"...you know turn that dirt and put seeds and plants in the ground. Well in lu (is that a word?) of that (tempting as it was to dig and plant) I cleaned up the garage. How exciting...but you have to know that much "junk" from last years hurricanes still cluttered the garage. It is now straight...not orderly nor totally clean but straight and everything is in place. Now...if I can just keep it that way.
