Most folks think of spring as the time of the year when nature does a little showing off, but cooler temperatures and a tiny bit of rain give a host of Texas natives just what they need to put on a lovely Fall show. Here at the house, Shannon and I do our best to stick with an organic program; so the birds, bees and butterflies can enjoy the yard with abandon as well. I’ve created a gallery of images to show you what was blooming this morning. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. Leslie
