Spring in the Texas Hill Country

Happy Monday, Friends! Come take a virtual stroll with me and enjoy some beautiful Texas blooms from my neck of the woods. We'll start with our state flower--beautiful bluebonnets on the river trail where I walk several times a week.

One of my favorite things about walking the trails is gazing at the huge trees. I love how they seem to be forming a window looking onto the Guadalupe, here.

There are always plenty of ducks in the vicinity, and usually deer and squirrels, too. 

This lovely flowering vine caught my eye. 

I'm partial to walking along the river, but the trails wind and curve for miles. There are several different places to park depending on which portion I feel like exploring on a given day.

Now let's check out what's blooming in my garden! My upcycled garden sign has weathered well since last summer. 

On the inside of the gate are my favorite pink knock-out roses.

Remember the clearance welcome sign I upcycled last month?

Wild yellow coreopsis and oregano in the background...

...and one of several fragrant rosemary bushes that thrive here. 

Last but not least, yellow knock-out roses!
