Signs of Spring


Sometime this past November, I planted some tulip (red and yellow) and daffodil bulbs in our raised beds. We began to see the blades of some of them coming up and pushing through the soil about a week ago. Within a day or two later we saw buds on one in particular which since have opened up! The rainfall we have been receiving most recently along with warmer temps and humidity has encouraged such. Although tomorrow is supposed to be 80 it will most likely turn cold again before we plant our garden. The only thing we have in right now are the onions.
It is so exciting to see everything slowly come to life again. I think Spring is my favorite season here because there are so many beautiful wildflowers to see before the merciless, hot summer comes along.
Once the tulips come along, I will post more pictures.

I love bulb flowers, they are beautiful! I also love 80 degree weather too! It's good to hear from our Texas family, we love you!
