Needed: A Blast Of Spring

[SetWave]

I love Spring! But, it seems Old Man Winter just wants to hangout a bit longer. We're getting some cold, cold rain that was due in January. Phooey.

Bee on a bottlebrush flower in my backyard.

Just love this shot, RnR!

Takes me back to when I was a young child, I was forever outside and always watching bees on flowers and in gardens.

A Renewed Blast Of Winter Makes Me Remember April At The Old Place: A winter storm outside today made me think of the old place in spring. where things started blooming starting mid-April.

The old place was a lovely colonial on the perfect lot with a great yard. Unfortunately, taxes were going up, the place needed a lot of work (e.g., new roof, windows, etc.) and we were getting old. Better to ride than do yard/house work.

On the Texas Gulf Coast, we're supposed to get another blast of cold weather next week again ..... that's late in the year for us.
It's supposed to get down to the low 40's here, and 30's north of us.

Wonder if we'll have another Black Out?
