The spring flowers are in!

 We get them at Valley Garden Center in McAllen. It’s just like our annual trip to Lafayette Florists in Colorado for all those years to get spring bedding plants when it was time to plant, except we’re in the first week in February and in Colorado it wasn’t planting time until Mother’s Day in May. We got a wagon-full.
