This is Native Plant Week here in Texas. With all the gardening challenges we face, sometimes native plants are the saving of our flower gardens!...
I don't even want to think of "white cover on the ground" and frosts and temps in the 30's! Here fall is official when I start wearing long pants....
Lovely photos! I love dragonflies--they have a special meaning for me and my husband. We took Master Naturalist training, and the chapter we...

Congratulations, Toni, and I love the way you think.
