I've been busy working around the pool, landscaping it and just making it pretty and enjoyable. Fred also tripled the size of the garden this year and that's been keeping me busy too. These photos were taken around March 23 and are just a little of this and that...
I've been seeing the jackrabbits out and about, it was almost dark when I spied this one and I had the camera with me....
Lots of wildflowers are blooming...I've got lots of photos to share!
I picked this hanging basket up at HEB right before Easter, I love it!!
The garden right after I got done planting it...Lets see we have; Tomatoes, Green Bell Peppers, Green beans, cucumbers, Hot Peppers (I accidentally bought them, oops! We don't like hot stuff), Cherry tomatoes, Yellow squash, Zucchini squash, potatoes, onions, cantaloupe, and watermelon. Michael planted sunflower seeds, but so far only one came up. I might put some more in as I think he put the seeds too deep in the ground. Everything is up now and growing. I'm working hard at keeping things watered and weeded.
I have also been working on putting together planters of my own and planting other plants around the deck at the pool. I'm trying to put in drought tolerant plants. I'll show you photos of the bushes and other items I've planted around the pool in a bit!
Prickly Poppy's are up and blooming.
We've also been seeing lots of Feral hogs on the neighbors property...
They're cute but such a pain...piglets!
A boar I saw...We didn't have permission to take care of the Feral hogs but we do now. The neighbor finally came out to his property and I talked with him and he told me to take care of the hogs, yeah! But since that time we haven't seen the hogs out there, go figure!
On this day there were 4 sows with about 20 piglets and the one Boar...way too many hogs!
The water in the pool had warmed up to 72 degrees and Michael was enjoying the pool...Take my photo Mom, take my photo...watch this Mom, watch this, lol...he was having fun!
Since that time we've had numerous cold fronts come through and the water temp dropped to 68 degrees and no we haven't been swimming, it's just too cold.
Captured my girl out in the pasture...fat and sassy! She's lost her winter coat and is all slick and sleek now...
The scissor-tailed fly catchers have been hanging around the garden and I love it. I know they are enjoying the caterpillars and bugs in the area...

Love that jack rabbit. My daughter sees them at Lake Travis but we never see them here anymore, just cottontails. What you call prickly poppy we call stinging nettles and we have lots of them. I saw the biggest field solid of them yesterday that I had ever seen.
Hello Paula. Just the past 4 years have we started seeing Jack rabbits and road runners too. I still haven't gotten a good photo of the road runner, they're so flighty. We have bull nettles here that sting and hurt pretty bad but with the Prickly Poppys they just have thorns on them and don't sting like the bull nettle does.
