The butterflies are out and the flowers are blooming – my allergies are in full swing, so that must mean it’s spring! I might not be able to breathe through my nose… and I might have to carry around travel size tissues in my purse, but it that just means it’s my favorite time of the year. Down here in Texas, the summers get to about 110 degrees on a daily basis, so we tend to take the spring VERY seriously. It’s just about the only time of the year you can sit outside and enjoy the flowers and weather without feeling like your about to die. That’s why the hubby and I have been getting our backyard nice and purdy for this lovely time of year.
