Texas Spring/Summer Thread

[Bird]

The second round of showers this afternoon brought my total up around .39". Grass is really starting to grow. Bluebonnets in the area starting to bloom. Seems like Spring, however, another freeze forecast for tomorrow night doesn't sound all that great.

Yes, and most of my garden is already in the ground and looking REALLY good. I need a LOT more rain, but certainly could do without a freeze.

.8 inches day before yesterday, none since, bluebonnets beginning

I wish you guys would send that rain down my way after you are through with it (south west of Houston). My area is already in the severe drought category again.

There is enough moisture in the ground that the white oaks are full of bright green leaves and the Texas Acacia (also know as Huisache) is in full bloom making the air smell SOOOO sweet. The Pecan trees haven't started to leaf out yet but the buds are showing signs of doing so soon. It's been in the 80's here with overnight lows in the low 60's but it is supposed to cool off a little the next few days; lows in the mid 30's and highs in the mid to upper 60's for the next couple of days then warming up again.

No rain.
I kind of saw the first snake of the season. It was being carried by a roadrunner running across the road. I had to brake so I would not hit him. I don't think I'll count it because I don't know if the roadrunner found him hibernating or awake.

The pecan trees are still not out so the big questions is will we get a frost this week. All of the mesquite are out.

This big bird came to our bird feeder but then got camera shy.

You need to get a picture of that Road Runner. :laughing: It was one of the biggest I have seen.

I'll try, he still is running back and forth on the driveway. The other one with the snake was about a mile away.

Crazy windy here. Gusts over 30mph.
Hope nobody throws a cigarette out the window, even if it's their first attempt at quitting smoking....
