The Bluebonnets are coming up . . .

Ah, yes . . . it must be spring!

The bluebonnets in my front flowerbed are up with a vengence this year . . . perky, full, reaching toward the sun, and the most beautiful steel blue color . . .

Our nearby local park . . . you turn a corner on the walking path, and "bam" . . . the bluebonnets just surprise you . . . they are popping up everywhere.

And, we are seeing them on the sides of the highway throughout the DFW area. This time of year, it is often a wise idea to drive on the service roads, so you can see the flowers better . . . and not cause an accident on the highway because you are driving too slow!!!

Where is my camera??

To a Texan . . . bluebonnets mean spring is here. I am a happy Texan!

Ever forward . . . ><>

Love those bluebonnets! My mailbox clematis is about to burst into bloom and I planted flowers today. I also plan to put in some basil and tomatoes, but I'm afraid we'll get some more frost or snow the way this season's been going.

Another sign of spring: a mourning dove is nesting in one of my empty hanging pots on the front porch. Wonder if it's the baby dove I blogged about last year?

I don't feel dressed without having a pen, pencil and notebook with me!

I'm at the age where I pretty much know what I like to have with me in terms of every-day-carry.   I like 4"x6" sized notebook...
