Last of the snow

All but deepest shaded snow is now melted as it has warmed up to over 60 degrees! Seriously, weather: you are just messing with us now. My plants don't know what to think, esp. with more freezing temps ahead. But I'll take a cool, sunny Texas winter day and run with it. These are some photos from the yard this morning.




Last weekend, the bees were busy on a healthy bok choy. Now, it's mush, but the bees are still trying to extract nectar from the limp blooms.

Some pics from this morning's beautiful and brisk walk at Shoal Creek:

It might be winter

We've been in the 20's since Tuesday night, and now a snow day. A beautifully pristine inch of snow over everything. And a chance we'll get above freezing this afternoon! Tomorrow should get up to the 50's...so I can see what this weather has done to my garden.


The birds have been swarming the feeder the past couple of days. A cardinal tried to chase off a gang of sparrow toughs, but there were too many. Plus, my little feline lurker was not so camouflaged in the snow.
