Just worked outside for about an hour and it was hot enough to make me sweaty (Sorry if TMI.)

and lots of plants and trees are blooming. It must be spring. So are we done with #Trumpvirus now in central Texas? Isn't that what our glorious leader said would happen?

But at least one can rule out seasonal allergies if you get upper respiratory symptoms.

with the spread but then I do not have DJT's great store of scientific knowledge in my head about the way viruses spread.

so I've been getting sun every day because it helps my mood. We have rain moving onshore this evening and rain in the forecast for the next few days, then a sun/cloud mix. I love this time of year. Even though the news has been so very bleak, I see renewal all over our yard and it lifts my spirits.

be able to save ourselves and our planet. My redbud and my peach trees are blooming as well as Columbine. My bulbs are pretty much spent but hopefully other thing are coming along. We have to get a jump start early here because summer will wipe out most blooming things. Thanks for your input from another part of our beautiful country. Never been there but maybe some day.

of daylily and iris last year that I dug up from a friend's place who wanted them cleared to make a brick path. No idea what colors or type, but who cares! My rose arbor and clematis arbor are springing to life, as are hydrangea, rhody, tulips, Easter lily, etc... Soon, I will be overwhelmed in magnificent blooms and scents. There are hundreds of plants blooming all season in such a small area, including veggies, cactus, succulents, melons, morning glory cradling my pumpkins on the fence. I can't wait!

I realized I haven't heard much about Texas (or other Southern states) diagnosing cases. Is that because they are not testing, or could that provide some hope about warmer weather mitigating it?
