We like to try to count the Red Buds when driving around town.
Why do you like them so much?" asked Graham and Annie the other day.
"Well, Red Buds surprise me, since they bloom from what look to me like regular trees. It's hard to tell which tree will be a Red Bed until the dark pink petals show up," I started to explain.
"Actually Mom," interrupted Graham, "I think I know why you like them so much. I like them too."
This painting captures the color quite nicely.

If Graham likes them, that's reason enough for me (and you, surely!). :)
Texas has much beautiful foliage. And we miss Wayne who loved it too.

As we drove home last night, going about 25 mph on the highway between Fish Creek Pass and SS in a blizzard, barely able to see the road markers, I turned to Allen and said, "I think the bluebonnets are out in Texas right now."
The redbuds here come bloom near the end of March and it is always a good sign that the gloom of winter is over. It has been a cold, windy winter and I am so looking forward to warm spring weather.
