Timi likes to lounge on the patio, obviously! [ATTACH]
In the front flower bed we have a Texas native, salvia greggii. It comes in white, red, raspberry, and once I saw a blue one. It blooms all...

Pacnorwest, those inflatable lanterns are the type we have. We received the first as a freebie from the power company. Reassuring that! We...
