We had a lovely welcome-home present awaiting us when we returned from frigid Boston this afternoon.
spring has arrived here in Texas.
Before even unpacking the car, we had to traipse around, snap photos and pull a few weeds.
(Note: about a year ago, our friend Randolph gave me a little tour of my garden, showing me what I had inherited from the previous owner and what qualified as a "weed" or a "hackberry bush" that really ought to go. About an hour later, gloves in hand, I went to dig in and realized that I should have videotaped his little seminar, as Teflon Memory had struck again. And I feel stupid asking for the whole shpiel all over again. Now I just merrily pull whatever looks ugly to me.)
