San Jose Mission Corner Rampart

Corner fortification.

View of the fortification from inside. Can you imagine standing or kneeling on the wooden "floor" above and peering out of those portals to protect those in the mission?

New Bargain Fern

$3.99 for a dying fern.  Soil totally dry. Some healthy fronds.

Trimmed up, Super Thrive applied, ready for a new pot. Good bargain.

Clouds over Houston that held tornadoes and hail. Was listening to weather as I drove to rescue my son who's little car got flooded.

Another Year Another New Start.

Hopefully this year I can do better than last. They say you build line upon line.  Let's hope so.
To start the year off well, here is a cheerful flowerbed, and yes, they are still blooming in Houston. Nice place to visit.
