You do a good job of looking and showing the beauty in your part of the world. It's dry here, too. We had rain, but it dries up pretty fast.Elaine/Muddling Throughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07542943000832182111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755931701182556976.post-58129561630276983932013-04-23T09:42:04.585-07:002013-04-23T09:42:04.585-07:00Somehow I didn't realize it was still so dry w...Somehow I didn't realize it was still so dry where you live. Plants must be really tough to survive, year after year. So far we've had enough rain to fill the ponds and creeks, but always, there's that fear of another hot dry summer. My iris plants are beginning to bloom in spite of being nibbled down to the ground by deer last winter.<br /><br />lil red henhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15494641068959278096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755931701182556976.post-78100829344841910062013-04-23T08:49:00.265-07:002013-04-23T08:49:00.265-07:00Drought or not, there is much beauty all around. ...Drought or not, there is much beauty all around.

Things are starting to green up here, and at last it is warm enough to start feeling like spring. I love the wildflowers you have there. It always amazes me that they could grow in such dry conditions.Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03865193802444007545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755931701182556976.post-40485694345808182512013-04-23T05:36:16.215-07:002013-04-23T05:36:16.215-07:00Such a different climate than what we have here an...Such a different climate than what we have here and yet so beautiful! <br /><br />Love Gertrude! <br /><br />I need to get my "Chuck" some new clothes for this year.

Thank the Lord the trees and flowers manage to bud and bloom in spite of it. We are getting plenty of rain for now, but I have my rain barrels and stock tanks filled all the time just in case.<br /><br />Miss Gertrude is lovely, but I think she might like a summer blouse and hat. I'm sure you'll come up with the perfect summer attire. :)<br /><br />Have a great week!<br /><br />magnoliasnteahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08517995125207145961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755931701182556976.post-38514262489399283852013-04-22T20:32:06.644-07:002013-04-22T20:32:06.644-07:00Everything looks to be blooming just beautifully, ...Everything looks to be blooming just beautifully, Kathleen.. in spite of the drought!<br />And Miss Gertrude definitely needs a hat if she's going to stay out in that hot sun for very long. :)Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02693565002250035794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1755931701182556976.post-26746361879637811972013-04-22T20:24:04.573-07:002013-04-22T20:24:04.573-07:00What a beautiful carpet of flowers.
