Bugs for babies

Carnation! Last year, I bought some carnation seeds in the spring and tried to get them going one of the flowerbeds ... to no avail. But the one I kept in a container had its first big bloom today.

The cardinal vine began blooming a couple of weeks ago.

The pink hibiscus opened for the first time this season today.

The pink and white gerbera daisy.

I love this photo.

Convolvulus

115_1550-800 — The cosmos have started to bloom. But was this the red crest cosmos from Baker Creek, or the two different varieties of yellow-orange cosmos from different companies purchased last year? Once I plant the seedlings in the beds, I'm not usually obsessed with keeping them labeled, thus this happens.

The front yard Betty Prior rose.

The better bush burpee tomato is starting to fruit. It's the only tomato I'm growing this year. In a container.

115_1524-800 — The convolvulus returns for a second season. I need to learn how to save this seed.

Julie Morales animated GIF for RE/MAX newsletter

I created an animated GIF for the RE/MAX of Texas eNewsletter that I compile every two weeks that features REALTOR Julie Morales and a quote she gave the story’s author about her decision to join RE/MAX.

Though simple, the GIF presents the story in a sophisticated way that encourages readers to click.

Yellow miniature rose

The yellow miniature rose bloomed again. It was one of those grocery store roses that Kim bought for me, I believe for Valentine's Day. It struggled indoors, so I potted it up and put it out.

IMG_3336-800 — Also in the front yard. What is this called? I need to chop down an invasive bush-tree that is overshadowing this flowering-grass-like-plant.

Corina’s 8th birthday party

We celebrated Corina’s eighth birthday this weekend with a small party with family.

115_1452-800 — We had a lot of fun!

We had cupcakes from Evil Empire Bakery!

115_1455-800 — Everyone loved the spring chick cupcakes

115_1492-800 — Corina got a lot of new toys to play with, including this bracelet making kit I got her.

115_1504-800 — Later, after everyone left, I made Corina take this photo outside with three blooming angel's trumpets. They bloom at night, and she also wanted to play with her glow wand.
