May Garden Bloggers Bloom Day

We had the best weather ever for the middle of May this past weekend. Highs in the mid-80s, lows in the low 60s, this is unheard of in Houston. All weekend long I just kept saying how great the weather was and how freaked out I was by how great the weather was. I spent almost the entire weekend outdoors. This may have been a once in a lifetime opportunity to enjoy Houston weather, cool and without mosquitos in the middle of May, it’s just so weird, it freaks me out writing about it.

Enough about the weather, let’s talk flowers. There are tons of flowers in bloom this Garden Bloggers Bloom Day.
