SPRING SPRUNG... THEN WENT TO SUMMER!!

Heidy-Ho, Blogging Buddies.  It has been busy lately which has kept me from the keyboard.

There isn't a lot to report... not surprising, I know.  But I did have a few photos I hope you can enjoy.

I found a couple of packets of bluebonnet seeds last fall.  I doubted they would be viable since I know they were at least 6 or 7 years old!!  However, I tossed them out into the front bed last fall where they would get plenty of sunshine and there was room for them to grow... if they did.  :)  I was absolutely surprised and happy to see a few little seedlings during our "snow" days in February!!!  They did survive and I ended up with two very healthy plants and several smaller (but blooming!) plants.  It was great to see them.




 Interestingly enough, I was delighted to spot three little guys in the back yard pecking at the ground a few days after the blooms had opened up.  It was funny as they were also a beautiful blue!  These guys are Indigo Buntings, fully "bloomed out" in their breeding finery!




Now then... we did actually enjoy a colorful spring albeit short-lived.  A couple of quick shots I found while on my morning walks.


Finally, I want to leave you with a sign.  You know I watch for the things that make me laugh... and like to share them with you.  See if you can find the irony  in two of the panels below that are next to each other.  :)

I suppose since summer seems to have arrived in April this year, it's a good thing the good ol' Tire Garden is planted.  We'll see how it goes with the early heat.  Hope we get tomatoes & bell peppers!!

I hope you enjoyed our little photo post today.  Not exciting, I know... but something else to see!!

Until next post...
