The mesquites have leafed out and the Redbuds are in bloom! SPRING is here!

WE love it when the redbuds are in bloom in Texas!


... and old timers will tell you that when the BIG mesquite trees choose to put out their leaves,
you can plant your flowers! Spring is here!
The chance of a freeze is about nothing!





It really looks good this year since we had the
cedars taken out around the cottages.
...if we'd had more rain, we might have even
had more wildflowers by now... but still we see the new growth popping out everywhere.































SJ is quick to show me the new little trees that can now see
the sunshine without having to share in the shadow of the
cedars.
Spring is one of the best times of the year out here in the Gap...
WE are thankful for every season, but this is one of our favorites!
