Spent
the weekend working in the yard weeding and pruning and moving some
things around and watering and pulling up hay grass. I have filled
the wheelbarrow once and it's half full again and you can't even
tell! All that seed was moved into the yard from the 12 acre field
behind us by the flood, the gift that keeps on giving. Well since the
st. augustine grass has died in big patches over the last two years,
the yard is more of a meadow anyway.

the plumber showed up yesterday and so I won't see Rocky again until
the end of the week while they get the water back on at my neighbor's
house as her need is much greater than starting on the little
bathroom. And as I'm anticipating a visit from fellow blogger Joanne
from Cup On The Bus and granddaughter Laura on Thursday, I started
the onerous task of dusting ah, if only it was as simple as
swishing a duster around. It's one thing to live with the layer
of dirt on everything, another thing entirely to let people see that
you live with a layer of dirt on everything. So while I busy myself
with spring cleaning, here's more flower porn.
Your flower porn makes me feel all warm and woozy-headed!
ReplyDeleteDo not speak to me of dusting.
Your gardens are beautiful. Enjoy your visit with Joanne and Laura.
ReplyDeleteOh how you tantalize! I had that second from the last in my yard at my house. We called it "mock orange", but I have no idea if that's right. But the smell is divine as I remember.
ReplyDeletethere is a mock orange that is fragrant and has thorns. this is a mock dogwood, no thorns and very mild to no scent.
DeleteI had no idea Texas was so lush and gorgeous.
ReplyDeletedepends on which part. there are 10 ecoregions in Texas. I'm in the central gulf coast plains. https://tpwd.texas.gov/education/hunter-education/online-course/wildlife-conservation/texas-ecoregions
DeleteYou must dust more often if it means we get all these gorgeous planty pics!
ReplyDeleteLook at those indian paintbrushes! Wow. You have such beautiful flowers in and around your yard. I'm inclined to say you should just let the dust be, but I know if I had people visiting I'd be dusting too -- I get it.
ReplyDeleteFlower porn is right! Gorgeous! Mike has been planting right & left (THANK YOU for the daylilies!). Even today he's plotting about peonies...
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed your visit - and your dust-free home!
