Water Under the Bridge

Last year about this time I was marveling about the lack of rain. This winter has been totally different. It has snowed four times at our home, five in the metroplex since the beginning of November. One of those snowfalls was up to 12 inches, appearing to be about eight inches here, and set records. The last snowfall of it's kind in Dallas was 1976. So much for global warming. Ha.

My thoughts of plants currently are limited. Since we now are a family of three my priorities have changed a bit. And my gardening went rather poorly last season. Nothing was pollinated, though it bloomed numerous times. I was not allowed to dig in the dirt either. So this year I have ideas for helping the pollination process, but I am also thinking about more foods I like to cook. Sweet potatoes, pumpkin. Hum. In the past I have generally stuck with squashes and tomatoes. Texas is hot. I'm not sure where I want to go from here!
