Two Spring Days... March 25th and 26th, 2023
Just wasn't feeling it yesterday, so I took more pictures today and blended both days into one post. This is the time of year when I get to see new things happening to my plants. Hopefully, some new birds will visit soon, too.
Still not sure what all these blooms will do. Some on the bottom look like they may be withering, so maybe that's all there is. |
The kids enjoying the weather in the landscaping. The grass is just a little high. Miss Olive doesn't like it rubbing on her belly. |
I would love to be able to read her mind. |

Bulbane |
Surprised to see this Titmouse choosing a suet ball instead of a sunflower seed! |
Is it just me, or does this Northern Cardinal look a little paranoid? |
This blue jay stayed on the fence for about 10 seconds. |
Then he flew away when I was trying to get a better shot! |
I would love to be able to read his mind. |
No new blooms today or yesterday. The ones you see here are withering away. |
This little Titmouse is pretty acrobatic. |
I'm pretty sure he is posing for the camera. |
Darker pink rose |
This squirrel was in the tree going from branch to branch munching on hackberries. I guess he got tired of Miss Olive not letting him get under the feeders. |
I think roses are pretty in all their phases. |
I love the shiny heart-shaped leaves on Jared's Redbud Tree. |
Remember last year? Neither of my native Lantana plants bloomed in the Wildzone. These are very immature blooms on one of them. |
Same plant, different bloom... |
Spiderwort |
Only one rain lilly came up after all that rain! |
This is the same lilly from a different perspective. |
This plant grows in my Wildzone. It is a Shrubby Copperleaf. I water it every time it stresses and treat it like I planted it. Others would call it a weed, but I think it is beautiful! |
My little Mexican Buckeye tree has its first ever seed pod. The pods have three large seeds in them. The tree is not considered a true buckeye, although we do have two Texas natives that are. |
Catchweed Bedstraw growing at the base of our trees... |
The sky above where I was sitting... |
