It was quite an awesome sight to see all the snow. We got 12 & 1/2 inches here, east of Sulphur Springs!

I drove down to Houston the day before the snow and brought my daughter home... it snowed quite a bit of the way and this is what it looked like when we got home.

Well the snow is gone and now we are having beautiful weather. I've pulled up my pants and started cleaning and working in the garden each and everyday. Don't you just love to feel the sun on your back, a gentle breeze on your face, and the dirt running through your fingers? Oh how I've longed for Spring to arrive and to be able to get a very much needed fix by playing with mother nature.

I've been very busy trying to get things cleaned up and spruced up so our gr. grandchildren can have their Easter Egg hunt here. Lot's of things blooming, Dogwoods, Redbuds, Forsynthia, Pansies, Snapdragons, tulip trees, too much to list. 1,000's of daffodils are just about finished blooming here for the year. Hosta's and ferns are showing signs of life after a long wet winter nap. My irises and daylilies will be in full bloom very soon and I just can't wait to see them. Spring is in the air and blooms are just around the bend. Happy Gardening dear friends!!!

I think we need a gardening forum for all Texas.

Would save bouncin' around on the various threads, hmm...I'm interested in all areas of Texas too! Thanks to you,...I have interesting plants that don't normally grow in our area that we live in.....but do in yours.....and they're some of my favorites. somethin' special about growin' plants outside of their normal range.

I really, really want to have just one forum....but couldn't figure out how to do it without making anyone upset for changing it. If it's what the group wants, I'll change it in a heartbeat. I feel the same way....one forum, with many threads. And if it's something important, we can make it into another forum. Now to diplomatically close the vaious area forums.
