Bloomin' Beauty

Maggie Mae always finds her way into photos. I think she secretly desires to be a reality TV star, and hopes someone will finally discover her! Here, she does her impression of a laughing hyena. Or maybe it's Tickle Me Elmo.




I'm amazed at the size of some of my roses this year! They are really big! (Seriously, look at your fist; now imagine a rose about more than 2x that size!)



And some are just really pretty!



And bushes are just loaded with blooms!



I love that a bouquet of roses greets me each time I drive up the driveway!



Annuals and ivy in early bloom. I love a splash of color against a dull brick wall!

I wish the photos could really convey the true beauty I see outside my windows. And the rose fragrance is wonderful!

A Little Spring

Spring has arrived in North Texas. And with the wonderful spring forward time change from a couple of weeks ago, the days are longer and the outdoors beckon! Dave and I will be planting our garden soon. My perennials are beginning to peek through the soil. The Bradford Pear trees are in full bloom.

I also found this great video of a Plumeria plant blooming and wanted to share it! Enjoy!
