I took a walk around the yard to see what our Spring showers brought us.

We have bluebonnets! Not in a place I expected, tucked up against the trees near the road, but maybe they will spread.

I have three ironweeds sprouting this year! These are in the meadow, and in a place we don’t mow. I only had two last year, but they grew chest height and bloomed purple.

The surprise finding was the pumpkin vines poking out around the compost heap. Hm. It will be interesting to see how far they make it, as I don’t water over there and it doesn’t get that much sun. Here is for a pleasantly wet spring.
