I was having lunch today with a couple of friends, both who had lived northeast for awhile but had migrated back down to Texas. "It's weird that it's the holiday season and we're all in shorts," one of them said. And that's pretty much what fall and winter is like in Texas. Eighty degrees?

Spring is finally here! Although it's been feeling like spring since February? But that's Texas weather for you. Today I was planting flowers I'd purchased three weeks ago tending to my garden and noticed a lovely Texas bluebonnet blooming.

Apparently “Wedding Planning Wednesday” is a Thing
I learned recently from the internet that "Wedding Planning Wednesday" is a thing. I have to say I haven't done very much of it lately.

Crafty Spring Cleaning
Happy Monday, everyone! I hope you had a nice and restful weekend. Mine was great. It was beautiful and sunny. I was able to take the pup on a walk and get some more plants for the recently departed ones. I've been indulging in waking up semi-early, snuggling with the pup, and watching TV while… Continue reading Crafty Spring Cleaning
