It's Been A While...You know it's been a while since your last post when you can't remember the password to get into your blog account. <br />
<br />
After nearly 17 years in our home, we moved last fall to a home one mile away. It's a beautiful lot with tons of potential and an older home...read that to mean it's been a lot of work. There are lots of projects in the works and lots of dreams that will hopefully come to fruition in time. <br />

This cypress vine was a volunteer that hitched a ride in a 4" pot from the nursery this spring. I found it languishing in the undergrowth as a tiny seedling and moved it to a larger pot in the heat of summer. It started flowering this week and I was instantly reminded of how much hope can be held in one tiny flower. This sweet little vine reminds me that this garden will be beautiful. No, IS beautiful, yes, is beautiful, right now. The move has made me step back and appreciate the small steps and victories of growing a new garden. <br />
<br />
I'm not sure how often I will post here so if you're on Instagram, please find me there @cat_jones_atx. The ease and instant gratification of Instagram has lured me in and I frequent the app and post updates there regularly. You'll get glimpses of my new garden and snippets of whatever happens to catch my eye. I hope to see you there!<br />

The Texas spiny lizard is usually quite shy, however, today he posed for a portrait atop an old ladder in the garden. I've never been able to approach one with camera in hand; they typically make a hasty retreat. I guess he was reluctant to leave higher ground. <br />
<br />
On top of a wetter than average spring, we've received over 13" of torrential rain this month. The backyard is a mosh pit and there are many drowning plants. Among them: native columbine, Texas betony and lamb's ear. No surprise that oak leaf hydrangea and river fern are content and taking it all in stride. There are insect infestations and snails galore. Blood thirsty mosquitoes are swarming. <br />
<br />
It's brutal out there. <br />
<br />
But, you will not hear me complain. After experiencing so many years of drought, especially the summer of 2011, I promised myself I would never utter a word of complaint about too much rainfall. Ever. I just never expected keeping the promise to be so hard. <br />

The light is a bit other-worldly in the garden recently. The last remains of oak pollen have been washed away by multiple rain showers and the air is pure and clean, scented with jasmine. Between the storms are opportunities to catch glimpses of magical light and the imagination lingers on what it might be like to live in a place with reliable and abundant rain. A place lush and green. This spring the mind doesn't have to wander far; not any farther than the back door.

A few random thoughts: April is the most promising of months. This spring is so fabulous, I can hardly sleep. I'm completely falling in love with my camera again. All I can think about is my garden. My back hurts and my nails look horrible. I'm happy. I hope you are too.Cathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03872899189875117518noreply@blogger.com9
