bluebonnets 2013

are nothin' like the bluebonnets of 2012, but they're still BEAUTIFUL.

these plants will still get bigger over the next few weeks.

backyard:

last year the entire backyard was FILLED with bluebonnets. this year i have patches. the dog dug most of the ones in the flowerbeds. there are a few plants left. there are a skimpy few by the swingset -- that's where the dog likes to go to the bathroom -- don't know if that has anything to do with the skimpiness!!! the ones on the side where his house & "dog yard" are never had a chance!!
these are the ones by the patio that bloomed at christmas then froze then came back!!

with as many as there were last year, i expected a whole lot more this year -- but it's like a poker game, you take a chance & get what you get!! (by the way, i've never played poker in my whole life, but it sounded good!!!!!!!)

front side flowerbed:

for 23 years i've tried to grow bluebonnets in this side flowerbed. they've never wanted to grow here until this year!

the driveway!!!!:

this one is right at the entrance to the garage! i've learned to straddle it as i'm driving in!!!!! i've never run over it nor have i hit the garage!!!!

wonder what next year will look like?!?!?
