Upside Down Rain Gauge

Well, this contraption isn't doin' nuthin' for nobody like this. LOL.

The Constant Gardener

Here we go again. Seedling a-growin'.

Fingers crossed for a good harvest at the end of it all.

It's time to get them plants out of doors again.

Over the winter time, we have had an assortment of plants indoors to protect them from the low temperatures.  They have actually done quite well indoors and are ready to bust out mightily in the sunshine once again. 

I have some dead-leaves-trimming to do, but they will look gorgeous afterwards. :)

Spring Time Irises

The hub's parents used to have the Most Amazing Irises in their garden, and they would have garden parties to celebrate them.  Our Iris plants are so very humble compared to theirs. Almost 2 decades ago, when we first came to Abilene, we actually picked them up in a back alley in town, where someone had dumped them.  

They have given us year after year of delight, even though bloom time lasts only about 2 weeks or so.

Awkward ConTrail

We are on the flight path of so many planes that we are very used to seeing contrails all over the sky every day.  Today, though, was a little different, because of the turn that one of the planes made. I mean, planes make turns all the time, and this must seem like one of the dullest things to have observed, but hey, we don't hardly see this.  So there.  :P
