Spring break...Texas style

Ahhhhh....spring has indeed sprung. The fronts roll through with their thunderous rains and blustery winds, followed by brilliantly blue skies and balmy temperatures. Yes spring is here! As they say down here in Texas...”if you don’t like the weather , stick around a few minutes, it will change!”

Spring break was great this year...the grandkids, boated, swam and roared around the neighborhood on the golf cart. They are back in school now...most of the damage has been repaired and our tired old bones are almost back to their normal aches and pains.

Brrrrrr!

Just as we thought "spring has sprung", along comes a cold front...well more like a cool front with rain. Most to the garden beds have been weeded, the first tomatoes have been planted and the herb garden is up and growing. I shouldn't complain as we are way behind on rain and need it!! So bring it on.

Spring cleanup:

The leaves are starting to decorate the trees, the grass is starting to turn green, and grow! Even the birds are singing their spring tunes and the bugs are back, yes they too must sleep in the winter. Yesterday we cleaned our garden pond and weeded the beds...oh yes that’s the bad part of spring...weeds, they seem to arrive first and grow with wild abandon, consuming every patch of ground they can find. Ahhh well that’s spring…”bring it on!”
