FIRST DAY OF SPRING 2015


By

First Day of Spring
Google it...
and you will see Google's new Spring artwork.

We made it through a pretty rough winter.
All of us have been patiencely waiting for Spring to come.
Well, I don't think those people from Boston have been too patient.
Way too much snow for my blood.

Vannie went on a walk this morning and came back with these great pictures.
Just had to share them with you.

SPRING HAS SPRUNG.!!!

Let's make a game out of this.
How many can you actually name?

OK..there are 19 flowers/plants to be identified.
Time to get up off the soda and do something productive.
This first person to do it, will win an all expense paid vacation 
to your nearest Home Depot Plant center. 

Calling all amateur horticulturists, backyard gardeners, plant lovers.
Vannie said she was going to be working on it, too.

Remember...I am in Austin, Texas.
Some of these plants might not grow in your area.

Don't pick them...just identify them.!
