The last two days we have been enjoying the nicest weather. It was rainy over the weekend, and we needed rain, so that was good. But after the rain stopped, the weather has been perfect--sunny, warm but not too warm, and clear. I always tell my out-of-state friends that April and October are the best times to come to Dallas. April is actually better than October because of the bluebonnets.
G's wildflowers are in full bloom. Well, I can hardly call them wild since he tends them every weekend, but the seeds were called wildflower mixture when he planted them about 5-6 years ago. It is interesting to see how each year the mixture of flowers is a bit different. The first year was the very best, with a couple dozen varieties, I think. Since then it has been a botany lesson in watching which are the dominate species. But that balance is upset too because G pulls out the Mexican hats in order to let the other stuff grow. They are beautiful, and lots of people slow down and gawk as they drive by.
The fire ants have come out of the ground with a vengeance since the rain too. D seems to be quite sensitive to them and has several bites on her feet that look pretty nasty.
