April showers are providing us with pretty roses before May. Ever-Lovin’ was watching Pretty Baby in the backyard when he stuck his head in the den door and exclaimed, “You need to get your camera and take a picture of the roses before the storms destroy them”. I got Trusty Camera, and the roses are […]
I called Miss Jane. “May I visit your garden?” “The daffodils are gone, but there are iris blooming and and some roses,” she replied. “You are welcome to come.” And go I did. It is always a treat to stroll through Miss Jane’s garden. A new wreath adorns the garden gate. The large hoop is […]
You don’t have to travel to Fredericksburg, Texas and the Texas Hill Country to see bluebonnets. You don’t have to travel to Ennis, Texas to see bluebonnets. Right here in Dallas, Texas there is a beautiful field of bluebonnets. We were leaving the Dr.’s office, and I probably had my attention focused on iPhone texting when […]
Spring has been a long time coming this year, but a visit to the Dallas Arboretum for 2015’s version of Dallas Blooms can certainly make one know that spring has arrived.

Look how pretty this is. The gardens were green and lush. Here is a close up picture. What are these beauties? […]
Finally a dry, warm, sunny day. Ever-Lovin’ and I wanted to see Dallas Blooms while there were still blooms to be seen. Let it be known. The gardens are gorgeous, and there is plenty to see. (The Arboretum is always beautiful – in any season.) See what greeted us even before we entered the gardens. […]
It is officially spring in Dallas, Texas. How do I know? Dallas Blooms opened at the Dallas Arboretum on March 2, 2013. Super Sister is in town, and first on our agenda was a visit the Arboretum. Sweet Mother of Pearl. How I love visiting the Dallas Arboretum. It is pure joy. As we entered […]
“What we have here is a failure to communicate.” That is the way it is. I am sure none of you have this problem, but true confession – we do. Here is our story. Just the facts. I wanted some herbs to put on the new front porch. While I was buying some herbs, the […]
