I still check on the news in Central Illinois because we have a lot of friends and family still there and it’s nice to know what may be impacting them. And here was a breaking news item from today, Friday, April 17, 2020.
A snow in April is fairly unusual and it will melt quickly and become a slushy mess for a few days before being pleasant outside again… but it made me grateful for the mild weather and beautiful wildflowers we’ve been enjoying in South Central Texas. So here are some of the wildflowers from our property and local area.
And of course, living in Texas, I must give special attention to the state flower, the Bluebonnet!
My garden continues to do well with blooms on my strawberry plant as well as on one of my tomato plants.
I hope spring blooms soon for you in your backyard! We also hope you are staying safe and sane as we finish a 5th week of social distancing and sheltering at home. Thanks for stopping by and hugs,
Libby
Thank you from Illinois for the Texas spring wildflower photos…….
Update from us is that the snow melted quickly, providing water to our soils. Our daffodils, purple drops and blooming myrtle survived and are lovely reminders that Spring Blooms Eternal….
Hugs,
