The Texas state flower is the Bluebonnet which appears every spring.  They blanket the roadways and are a protected species.  With it comes buttercups, Indian pinks and other spring flowers.  The amount of flowers will vary year to year and this year did not have a bountiful crop.It is when the families bring out their children to take pictures in the flowers.  You will see many, many pictures of children in the flowers of that spring.  Some even get their pets into the action.Back in the 80s we had a snow cover and the bluebonnets that year were the best.  Mom said it was the cold covering during the snow that affected the crop.  So when it snowed and remained on the ground back in our winter of 2021,  I was excited because I thought we would have a wonderful crop of spring flowers.  D... 04/13/2023

Fleas?   Dogs and cats both fight them every year.  It is almost that time of year again.We have found that benefical nematodes work very well.   A popular Saturday morning talk show in San Antonio is done by Bob Webster who owns the Shades of Green nursery on W Sunset.  When we first tried Beneficial Nematodes, I thought it was a lie.  Well, 2 weeks later and NO fleas in our yard.  For the last 20 years it has pretty much remained that way unless our cats decide to visit neighbors.  Then we have to treat because the cats' treatment doesn't always work.The other item that we use is Diatomaceous Earth which is a white powder that can be spread out.  When the fleas, roaches and other critters walk through it, it dries out their bodies and they die. And it is safe for people and animals.  ... 03/14/2023

Extreme Home Makeover is in Floresville, TX.

The reason this is so special for me is that my first listing in  Floresville was the home that Shilo & Kathreyn bought.  While I was not the buyers agent but the listing agent, I did get to meet them and as you go through the contract period you learn something of both your client and the other agent's clients.    My seller Randy has become someone I consider to be a great person and a friend.  Shilo and his... 01/18/2012
