The Bradford Pear trees are supposedly the surest sign of spring around here and so far they're behaving as expected - perhaps the temps will follow soon.

 

Nice! Looks like you guys finally got some rain after all!

 

Are those ornamentals or do you also get fruit? They're beautiful either way.

My dad used to say that mother nature couldn't fool a pecan tree. If the pecan trees budded, there would definitely be no more frost. As far as I remember, it always held true at least in East Texas.

 

Monday was weird. I thought the Bradford Pear blossoms were blowing around. Later I saw the weather report. It actually was snow flurries. Temperature was 51

 

We lived in Tyler for 5 years, very nice place. Thats one place that i have lived, that i would move back to.

 

That's where I was born and lived until I left home at 18. Back then, it was a lot smaller and a great place to raise kids but a terrible place to be a kid. I think now I probably wouldn't mind living there if I ever left FL. Of course the only way I'll leave FL is if Dean kicks me out.

We lived there 78 thru 82. Oil was booming, its where my oil biz career started.

 

It even got down to the low 40's here last night -- weird for this time of year!


And the cycle repeats -- it's booming again!

 

The pear trees look nice. But more importantly, are there any buds on the weed yet?
