It’s a good day for me when flowers bloom! I planted this Crossvine last spring and it did hardly more than survive. But! It did survive the drought and our rare but extreme winter weather. With a bit of water and a dose of Fox Farms Big Bloom, Voila! It’s a beauty.

The hummers have found it today and as they feed, they all but disappear into the funnel of the flower. So much fun to see!

Also, a good friend gives me Amaryllis bulbs each Christmas. This one was given last Christmas and just bloomed again. Remarkably beautiful flower!

And for the finale, here’s a silly little Texas Anole hanging out on one of my hummingbird feeders. I don’t think he’s dangerous to the hummers here, just cooling his jets in the shade.

I hope your spring is a lively as mine and that outside is your happy place. It surely is mine! Mom used to say that when I was a toddler, one of my first words was “Side!” Heh heh. I’m still saying the same thing.

I’ll see you out there!

Namaste,
