Seems that overnight the Texas Redbud trees popped into bloom and the Mexican Plum trees have followed, now all we need are the Mountain Laurels (the smell of grape bubble gum fills the air) and spring will be officially here.
The Texas Hill Country will "spring" to life shortly after the Mt. Laurels. Time to get those cameras ready and capture those fields of wildflowers that herald summer!
This is also an exciting times for all of us "porchers". Now, "porchers" are folks that live outside as much as possible and in central Texas that activity is most enjoyable during the next several months. In our neighborhood this takes on front yard porching as we have a lively area with lots of visiting walkers from around town - if you stick yourself in the backyard you will miss all the action! The races and rallies should return as well, and these provide interesting Saturday morning entertainment as we are on most race/rally routes.
A full calendar of events to get you out of the house and soaking up some spring sun and cool air can be found at http://www.nbcham.org/cwt/external/wcpages/wcevents/eventsstartpage.aspx - you can even set reminders so you don't miss a thing!
Get out and about, be neighborly, and see Texas first!
