New Beginnings


In the midst of so much cold weather, I am reminded once again..of the promise of spring. At the far back of the fence row, there is this wonderful green growth..the flower heads waiting patiently for their time to bloom.
These are some of my favorite flowers..some call them Iris..I call them the old fashioned name..Flags. They are seen all over ..from today's yards, to fields and pastures...and old homeplaces, where the houses once were and are no more....only the flowers show that someone had lived there before.
I think my favorite color is purple..maybe yellow...no, wait..it's white. Truth to tell, I love them
all....their fragrance is wonderful...
Three days later...still no blooms

Tiny Pink Flowers


These grow in a great mass along a fence next to an old building. I like both the building and the plant..I think they're wonderful

Three Tiny Friends


I took these photos at the end of summer..I'm not sure of their names,.... I just know they are closed up till evening time..when sun is going down and air is cooler.
I call these little flowers three beautiful friends..one is for a lovely friend in Singapore, one is for a lovely friend in England...and the other is me..lovely ??, fun loving ?? crazed?? in Texas

New Pepper Plant


This is my new little plant..I just got it today. It's called Chili Fire Power, and as the name implies..is a hot pepper plant. Though it's a tiny little plant yet, it's trying hard to be big, and already has some teensy beginnings of peppers. Yayyyyy for little plant.
I already have plans for my vegetable garden..I can hardly wait. I've been looking at gardening catalogues and dreaming of a perfect planting season and wonderful vegetables.
