Spring has started to arrive here in Texas. The trees are starting to leaf out and soon the flowering trees will be in full blossom. It is my favorite time in Texas, a great time to get out and garden before the heat of the summer gets here. It’s been a dry spring and I am already having to use our sprinkler system.

Makes me jealous – we got another coating of snow last night!

Okay – try living in Pittsburgh right now. We are well and truly in mud season, that time when you really see all the stuff in the garden that you should have cleaned up in the fall, but it was mud season then, too, right before it froze solid. Bleah. I’m not sure if I envy the snow of 5 hours North or the dry of Texas! ah well, thank goodness for the garden catalogs…

An update on Spring here in Texas. We are in full bloom here. The red buds and Bradford Pears are just gorgeous. I went to the Ft. Worth Botanical Gardens yesterday, where I volunteer, and just enjoyed the weeding and gabbing with the other ladies that help out. It is good for the soul. I am amazed at the varieties of bulbs that are coming up there, Texas is a tougn place for bulbs with it’s extreme climate. It is a good reason to help out there, they know what grows in this climate. For those of you up north you will be happy to know we are back down in the 40’s and rainy for the rest of the week. The rain is much needed here though as we have been in drought conditions for a while.
