on the weekend, when we returned to our old midtown neighbourhood for a quick, late lunch.
Hazelton Lanes, a nearby shopping mall, is undergoing a massive reconstruction, and the café we wanted to go to was gone. But it was close to 4 pm and we were starving.
We had a nutritious, heart-healthy lunch--okay, chocolate bars and Diet Pepsi-- and I took a few photos of the neighbourhood to remind myself that, yes, Spring will come soon. Even to the suburbs.
Daffodils? Yup, spring.
ReplyDeleteIt's two to three weeks late this year.
DeleteWe got ours early, Barb. It was here and gone before I could enjoy it. My roses started to bloom two months ahead of schedule. Now they're covered in black spot and aphids. Nature is such a saucy minx!

Your poor roses! Tulips can take weathery punishment, but not roses.
DeleteAfter such a long, cold winter, the least Nature could do is give us an extraordinary Spring. "Saucy minx," indeed!
Thunderstorms, baseball-size hail, tornadoes....Spring has hit Texas for sure. (And everything is green)
ReplyDeleteWow, I shouldn't complain! Although we did get a bit of hail last week, it wasn't that big.
DeleteHi Echo! Spring is almost over at my house. The heat and humidity will take over soon.Thank goodness for air conditioning!
ReplyDeleteLily Faye, you've been going to the beach lately, so you must be in the south somewhere. I love air conditioning, too. My long fur makes me too warm, sometimes. I also like to like in front of a fan.

Arrrgh, I meant to type "like to lie" not "like to like." Clumsy paws!
