Texas Flowers

This year the flowers are beautiful in my yard. When I planted the flowers, I tried to keep them as native as possible. Mainly because I hate to water everything all the time.

The purple bush is called Purple Sage. Some people refer to it as Texas Sage but I really think that is just the Texan's who refer to it as such. This is the most vibrant I have ever seen these flowers. So full of blumes, it's almost glaringly purple. And they smell like bubble gum!


The yellow bush is by far my favorite all along. It is called Yellow Bells.


We all know Black Eyed Susan, who new she was a Texan Native?


The sunflowers have finally opened up. They're always looking over the fence though.

Secret Garden

This is the garden that Jonah and I made last year. It is kind of tucked away a bit under a tree and it feels kind of hidden in parts when you're back there picking the spinach.


Last year, I was pretty down because it didn't do so well. This year, it's a totally different story!

Freya is the harvester of all things green and leafy. She has been eating the strawberries one by one. I can't wait to see her face when the sunflowers actually flower. The leaves are pretty impressive as it is but just wait a few months.

I am hoping that the weeds slow down cause I am having a hard time keeping up with them.
