Wildflower time

I have a lot of office work this week so not a lot of time for the Ranch. I did finish clearing the cedar around the pasture gate. You now have a good view approaching from either the cabin trail or house trail towards the mountain pasture.

I had both the JD Tractor and JD Gator picked up this week for repairs and maintenance. Also sent the smaller JD chain saw. Good time to get it done. It will be a little harder to get around without the Gator, but walking will be good. The weather is great.

Wildflowers really starting to bloom. The Prairie Verbena has looked good for a few weeks. The Texas Bluebonnets are also starting to come out following this big rain. The Jasmine, Asian ground cover, and Honeysuckle we planted in previous years also looks like they will finally take off this year. Terry also set some Begonias, Ferns, and Mexican Heather last week that seems to have enjoyed the rain as well. Time to think about setting out some tomatoes.
