I sit here again today...

this is our 31st day of
triple digit temperatures
and no rain.

But your gardens in blogland,
full of green grass and
pretty petals of very color and shape,
are there for me to visit.

But there is a very small chance of rain
this weekend. So I wait...

...and watch...and hope.

That's my SHOW & TELL for today.
I TELL you...p l e a s e SHOW me your flowers.
Don't forget to go by Kelli's house for more
SHOW & TELL FRIDAY

Really my Saturday is more blue...
as in boys age 4 and 6.
Still busy with my great-nephews.
But I'm taking a moment just for me,
to share some pink.
Well fiddle-dee-dee!

Isn't she a little sweetie with her head full of curls?

And come Sunday afternoon,
the boys will be heading home.
I will be resting in a quiet corner of the house.

I know I have a lot of visiting to do. I didn't even
get on my computer yesterday.

But I'm so excited, this is my first time to
make the Pink Saturday list.
Check it out at Beverly's~How Sweet the Sound~

Hope you all have a fun weekend.
See ya'll soon.

TEXAS in bloom~

I am just wild about Wildflowers!

Just a few...

Wish I could say I did this wonderful work of art
but I didn't.

The landscape is alive as the Maker
shares these little jewels with His children.

And when I stop to observe,
I just have to say Thank you, Lord
that is so cool!

Please stop by Susan's for a map of the
other OUTDOOR wonders.

Last week there were but a few
purple buds peeking, teasing.

This week...out in all their glory.

When words escape,
flowers speak.
- Bruce W. Currie

In my garden there is a large place for sentiment.
My garden of flowers is also
my garden of thoughts and dreams.
The thoughts grow as freely as the flowers,
and the dreams are as beautiful.
- Abram L. Urban

When you leave my garden don't forget
to pass by Kelli's House.

Cowgirl Up!

Saturday I went riding with a friend who
lives on a beautiful ranch.
We had so much fun and I hope to go again real soon.
The views were wonderful
as you can see the hills of Wimberley.

I came home with several rolls of old rusty fencing
to use in my front yard. Keeping the deer out of
MY area is an ongoing project. I use mostly local
plantings but still would like to have a few
flowering pockets here and there.

(you really must click to enlarge)

I just LOVE Spring!

After a little rain the salvia is full of
pretty pink flowers...the butterflies and
humming birds are in heaven.

I even have a few irises ready to open and
show off their purple petals.

I do see a little evidence of nibbling:-(

This is on the outer edge where I was
working this morning until the sun
got a little too hot. Can you see
my 'new' 2nd Time Around fence?

Thanks for stopping by day.
