Flowers and Lizards

This Purple Shamrock has survived my not-so-green thumb since it was given to me nine years ago when Isaac died. It's a mercy.

This is one of two Bluebonnets that are growing in my yard after a baggie full of seeds from a dear parishoner were broadcast last fall. Bluebonnets can be hard to grow as they're pretty picky about soil. They like Mary's yard and the steep embankments of Texas highways however.

I'm glad to have a couple of indigenous Mesquite trees in my yard as well. I've heard that cows distributed Mesquite pods in Texas during the cattle drives and that they weren't here before then.

This desensitized lizard lives in our backyard.
