Spring 2013

Tough little bluebonnets dealing with hard conditions this spring. Didn't post flower pictures so far this year bc it has been so dry. We did have a little rain last week.
Eastern Bluebird eggs in one of the nest boxes my brother and I put up this year. This is the second round of eggs in this box. We have had a few nests that had babies in them w feathers - hope they made it - bet they did.
Mourning doves in nest by kitchen window. First time any bird has made it this far in this location - usually something gets the eggs or babies. Saw one of these fly out of nest the other day. There are now a new set of eggs in the nest.
This is its first bloom - four years old, a unique plant. Grown from seeds that came from plants that a friend gave me - this is the only survivor of maybe 50 or 100 that I tried. If I had a hundred plants to decide if they were beautiful enough, I might x this one. But as it is, think I'll keep it.
