Trees and garden

I forgot to include picutres of our two newest trees in the back... a burr oak and a crepe myrtle (when it blooms it is supposed to be red...will post pictures when it does).
I added some photos from our front garden as well...it is well into blooming. The passion vine we have growing around the post was cut back to almost nothing by Eddie and has been growing like crazy. It started blooming this week!

April

Not much new going on here.
Hummingbirds are back. We’ve had some visits from the black-chinned.
Our garden is starting to bloom and grow lots of weeds.
We just finished our state testing called TAKS last week.
Eddie went to NY for a wedding this past weekend. I thought that I would have a nice quiet weekend. I ended up having lots of rain and some hail the day and night Eddie left (see picture of lots of rain…never did get the hail in pictures, it was only marble size and melted with all of the rain. ON Friday night until after 11 PM, I helped with a lock-in for the WEB program that I am a sponsor for (we had the 8th graders come and make posters and a commercial to recruit 7th graders for the program for next year). Then I picked Marie up from Jamie in Brenham on Saturday and on Sunday took her to JJ (Jamie is staying longer with mom because her foot surgery was worse than originally thought).
Today, I did not have to go to work, because I had jury duty in the city of Hutto. I can now say that I have served on a Jury!!
Enjoy the pictures!
