Random Things

I think the weather down here in the spring is perfect!! It's warm, but not hot. (Unless you have black on and are standing in the sun.) There's a cool breeze. The nights are cool and the days are sunny and beautiful. But a weird thing I noticed both last year and this year is that the leaves fall off the trees in the spring. That is SO weird to me! Growing up in South Dakota, it seemed that the leaves fell off the trees in early autumn when the weather started cooling off. The trees have it backwards here. HA! Maybe I just didn't notice the leaves falling off the trees in the spring out there? I like to think I am observant, but that might have escaped me...

My hydrangeas are starting to grow and should be blooming in a few weeks. They are going to look nice! The other flowers I planted last year were mostly annuals, but I was told that since it doesn't freeze here, they tend to come back. Umm...so far it's not looking so good. I only have a few in the back yard that are coming back to life. I think I might do some yard work this next weekend and get the yard looking nice again. It is full of leaves right now and looks bad. BOO! I might go get some more flowers, although Katie thinks that if there is a flower, that she must pick it. So...I might end up getting some small bushes or something instead. I guess I will wait and see what I find!
