We had a lovely welcome-home present awaiting us when we returned from frigid Boston this afternoon.
Our front garden had prepared a colorful show for us during our absence -- proof that splendid 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.)

Ah, home sweet blooming home.
