RAIN

Rain, Glorious Rain.

We've had 3 weeks of intermittent gentle soak-in-the-ground rain and everything looks wonderful.  The bluebonnets are germinating and so are the weeds!  Maybe we'll have a great wildflower spring.


The Naked Ladies, so called because the bloom spikes erupt before their leaves.


Lots of blooms on the pear tree!  Nothing will come of this, so late in the season.

Snow on the Mountain native euphorbia.  I picked up seeds along the roadside in my neighborhood.  love them

Crepe Myrtle Tuscarosa

I bought this livestock feed/water container at Tractor Supply to use as a pond and it is at least 12 inches deep and all filled with the recent rains.

Butterfly vine, the dried seed pods look like butterflies.

Heavily blooming prostrate rosemary.

Native ground cover horse herb.  I love it.

Crepe mrytle.  I think this is 'Dynamite'.

Judy Wisdom memorial rose.  A joke name for a passalong rose from my friend Judy Wisdom.
