Lately we seem to have alternating days of rain and sun. Plants are slowly greening up, but there is still not much to talk about in the way of flowers. It’s fun to look at the buds on the limbs though and watch them develop. These are on a redbud branch.
Today is Texas Independence Day. It used to be a big deal when I was a school boy; now you don’t hear much about it. I guess the state employees and schools still get a holiday. Traffic was really light on my daily commute.

Hey Bill, Go to gravitar.com that is where you get to post your picture. Take your hat picture and make it 80×80 pixels, and then tell gravitar where you have it on your disk, and then follow the prompts. It’s really easy, I did it, so can you. Then where ever you comment that allows them it automatically puts your picture! I just comment and it shows up. (except here which doesnt allow it.

Ah, yes **big sigh**. Buds, flowers, green! What wonderful thoughts those are. Our ground is starting to thaw a bit and we’ve had no snow for quite some time though it’s not unusual to get a 3-foot dump in March/April. This Saturday will find me outside tidying up the yard and slaking some giant thirsts. February is a rough month on evergreens here.
Have you done the gravatar thing yet?
Hi Bill,
Thanks for the pic of the buds. I haven’t seen anything that looks like that in my area. Nice.
I have a gravatar. I like the little pic by my name. It pops up on my comments because Haloscan is beta testing it.
There are times when I think Texas can have its independence any old time.
Maybe California should start thinking about it.
