"Spring is sprung, the bird is on the wing. How absurd; I thought the wing was on the bird..." We don't have the drastic change from winter to spring like we had in New York but the transition in central Texas is still one of my favorite times of the year. New England has autumn foliage but we have spring wildflowers. Most of the area along the roads are covered in bluebonnets. I'm not sure what the plant in this photo is but it is incredible this time of year. This particular bush is in my front yard near the driveway.I survived the first week of school. This week, we have Brysselkex cookies, croissants, pastry creme, apricot glaze, fruit tarts, scones, cream puffs, eclairs, blueberry pie and key lime chiffon pie. Yikes
