⦿ a sure sign we've officially entered spring is the massive pollen dump taking place right now
⦿ I thought the neighbor had installed a fishing light down at his retaining wall
⦿ turns out it was just a bunch of pollen floating atop the water
⦿ favorite hill country landscaping plant I'll miss are the mountain laurels that burst forth with beautiful purple flowers every spring
⦿ these were currently blooming along the side of our back porch
⦿ another harbinger of spring is the reemergence of lizards and geckos
⦿ little man Finn killed a T-rex sized gecko on the back porch recently
⦿ then he proudly pranced around the back yard with this fresh kill in his mouth
⦿ I didn't get a video/photo of the gecko murder or corpse, which I'm sure you're happy to hear
⦿ but I did make a video of him on the hunt for another lizard or gecko in the back yard's landscaping bushes this week
Pollen is a whole thing here too, it's own season in a way. We rolled up the outdoor rugs and cover the furniture if we're not sitting on it but ugh!! We're a little bit behind you but are seeing the yellow stuff now too. Not so much on the lake yet, but we have loads of pines and it's crazy. The weekend for your niece sounds like it was fun too. It's great you can host a fun teacher getaway. You're so right-they need that!
