Did you hear?? I Live In Dallas won "Best of Big D Reader's Choice" for Best Blog in Dallas. Congratulations to Jennifer and Neil !! What an accomplishment.

Update from P&B's Garden Brian and Jennifer are on vacation in Costa Rica this week. Me and Paul ..... just hanging out. Looking forward to this weekend when we celebrate Rachael's 29th birthday !!

This is a new hibiscus for me this year, Kopper King. Darker leaves and a huge pink flower with dark center. I am running out of room but I am sure I will find a permanent spot for this beauty. Happy Summer !!

Texas soil is far cry from the rich earth in North Dakota where my Grandmother grew her hollyhocks. I have been trying for several years to carry on her tradition and get them to grow here but they tend to get rust on their leaves. I finally got one to do pretty good in the back yard this year.

Thank you Jenn !!

My all time favorite garden tour is coming up !!

This is a happy weekend for me because Ma and Dad are here from Chicago. Today, we went on a garden tour of five homes with the Colleyville Garden Club. There were some very pretty yards, but I think our yard is the best. Below are our rocket snap dragons at their peak.
