May in the Gap at the GateWay

The days here in May have been teasing!!!

They tempt us with the promise of rain, and yet.... just dew kissed mornings is what we have

(we are only 4 days into our wettest month... but we hope for rain each day!)

The xeric gardens at the cottages are doing well... you can see the salvia greggi here alongside the 2 bedroom cottage (as well as some renegade poppies that I just couldn't let Troy cut down, eve though they wandered into the drive area)

Wildflowers are spectacular here on our little hillside.

Anyone wanting to collect for dried flowers will have a heyday right now!

Chocolate flowers are WILD here... yes, I said Chocolate flowers!

They really smell like chocolate. You can tell them from others similar in the
masses of yellow blooms, because the chocolate flower has a distinctive brown stripe
along the back of the petals.

These little yellow flowers can be mistaken, but with a trained eye,

and very shortly you'll easily see the differences.

We are hoping for a bountiful May season for our GateWay family and guests!
Western Heritage Weekend
Mother's Day
ACU, HSU, and MCMurry graduations

ALL are this second May weekend!
BTW... the Perini's Wine Summit last month was a huge success as well as Erinshire in the Gap!

Come visit in April or May and there will always be something to do!
