This morning, we awoke to rain.
Beautiful
wet
life giving
rain!
My parched brown yard is lapping it up.

It sounds so peaceful pit-patting outside my office window
I may sit here all day
(wait, I do that anyway, since I became a blogger)

About Me
- Diane
- I married my high school sweetheart 34 years ago in the LDS Temple. I have 4 children (3 married, and a 14 year old) and 6 grandchildren. I lived my entire life in California, until 6 years ago. I now reside in San Antonio, Texas. The most important thing to me is my family; I have invested the most in them and it has paid great dividends. I love doing anything creative that beautifies my surroundings and I love nature. I minored in Art and majored in Interior Design at BYU, yet, my profession is a Tax Preparer.

How beautiful and peaceful ... I love looking upon flowers and green background. How I miss seeing bougainvillaea. My love for it began with my grandparents, (the Johnsons). In the yard of each of their homes, they would plant a fushia colored bougainvillaea, just like the one you have in your yard. It seems like a tradition. When I lived in southern California growing up, I'd see it everywhere. It was part of my living experience. And of couse, one sees it everywhere when visiting Hawaii. It brings beauty to my soul, just like the sunshine. Here in Colorado, we purchased some from a nursery a couple of times at the beginning of spring, and did enjoy it through the summer, only to later have it die; even after trying to care for it indoors during the winter months. Thank you for those beautiful pictures. I love seeing pictures of your home. Have a great day! Love ya, cousin Lynne

Yes, Miss Lynne, I too love the spectacular color of bougainvillea and have planted it in every yard we ever lived in, only to have it die in the winter. Until I moved to San Antonio, I considered it an ANNUAL, but the milder winters here seem to sustain it, if I cover them during occasional freezes. It looks beautiful against all the limestone that is found here.
