After all my wining and complaining about our hot and dry Texas summer, I can now honestly say that it is splendid here. With some recent rains, the entire city turned a glorious green and to our great surprise, we have flowers blooming. I had actually forgotten what color our crepe myrtle was since it hasn't ever bloomed (it is coming out with white flowers), our Texas sage, seen here with Ivan is more purple now than green and our transplanted flowers from Big Buddy's give us pretty purple blooms each morning.
But the real zinger is that our hundreds of seeds are making plants now that the temps are cooler. We had thrown out 2 packages and then a whole box of wildflowers and were hugely disappointed when only a few measly plants struggled through our summer heat. Now we have hundreds of little flower plants. I hope they will get to bloom before it gets too cold for them!
Of course our prettiest flower, who also came past the time we were expecting her to come is our little smiling, cooing daughter.
Grandpa Ray came bearing gifts. Here are a couple of them: a brown eyed sheep and a blue eyed one. She seemed to like them. They have numbers on them, so maybe they are sheep for counting to go to sleep! Another bonus, Dominique likes to sleep longer in the cool of our room as long as I bundle her up real good. She slept until 7am this mornign ;) ahhhh sleep, what joy!
