Welcoming the weekend!

I am so glad it is finally Friday. I picked up my son and 4 friends from school. Luckily, I dropped 2 off at their own homes! The other three and I stopped at the Jim's Big Burger (locally owned and wonderful) For once, I was actually not hungry, so I just ordered iced tea. I occupied myself by playing with my camera phone. They were not cooperative! Luckily, my plants can't hide. My Texas Wisteria is getting greener by the day. I am watching the flower buds closely!
I have numerous hardy Amaryllis or Hippeastrum Johnsonii in my yard. They came from my great-grandmother's yard about 40 years after she no longer lived there! The house was rented out and the yard NOT cared for! My grandmother remembers them being there when great-grandma Lillie lived there.

I can always count on Society Garlic. The first thing I did when we arrived at home was check on my peeps! All six appear to be doing well. Then I pulled out the lawnmower and evened out the backyard! It looks much better! That called for a glass of wine to celebrate and enjoy the beauty of spring!
Previously, I posted a photo of blossoms on my Satsuma Mandarin tree. Now the petals have falled off and the baby mandarins are visible!
On Saturday afternoon, I will be helping at one of the homes on the V.P.I. (Victoria Preservation Inc.) historical home tours. My sweety and I plan to tour the homes on Sunday since he has to work on Saturdays.
Ya'll Come Back!

  3. Love the shot of your wisteria; ours bloomed a couple of weeks ago. I hope you don't get the freeze we are forecasted to get here. I can't tell you how many times I've had those beautiful purple buds freeze just before opening.
