Very pretty!

Since I last wrote we had a huge wind storm and heavy rain (heaviest rain I ever remember being stuck driving in--visibility was a few feet). Needless to say, trees took a big hit, though mine are fine. I lost my largest Texas Star hibiscus stalk near the house and the rest of them tipped over and are going to be a challenge to mow around all summer because they will continue to grow if they're not completely sheered off. The creek flooded at the same time and more trash washed up on our road. No good deed goes unpunished--a neighbor and I spent a couple of weeks in March clearing up roadside trash. We've had trash wash in three times since then.
