The lastest spring we have had in a while...

We have peas coming soon and onions. The tomatoes are blooming and there are some green ones. The peppers are growing and the cucumbers seem to be eaten up by something. We even have a bluebonnet patch in the backyard where I tossed out some seeds last winter. Now I am just waiting to put my sweater away. It has been such a cool spring. Paula will be home soon and the fun will start. Dad and I like the quiet, but LOVE the fun the kids bring when they come. I have a new calling in the Primary- 2nd counselor. I am over Cub Scouts, Activity Days, Baptisms, and 5 CRT classes. Oh, I visited a family that John and Melissa know to give them a baptism book. Left with mud all over my Sunday clothes. The dog decided to sit with me on the couch and cuddle after digging in a muddy ditch. Spring is rain, sunshine, mud, flowers. We like it all.

the Mexican Plum Tree

This is a native to TX, grows from Oklahoma through Texas. It blooms white in the spring, has small, sour plums in late summer (perfect for jam) and orange leaves in the fall. Then it is bare in the winter. So I have my four seasons!!
