My garden awakens slowly this year. The fresh spring color is a welcome sight.

Spring 2010
   


    Cedar waxwings arrive to eat all
my pyracantha berries. Swollen buds on the
Texas Red Oaks are visible in early March.

    Texas Red Oak foliage is pink when
it first unfurls in mid-March

   "Bloom where you are planted!"
Mother Nature beautifies my sidewalk. 
   Hinkley's columbine is a Texas native plant. Mexican feather grass is in the background.

A wet fall and winter gave us spectacular bluebonnets by April. Creola enjoys them
from her favorite bench.


  
The first leaves of spring in my back yard are
my Texas red oaks. The pollen counts were
"off the chart" says a local meteorologist.
