Come in for a Nature Break! We have arrived at the last day of January 2012! This month seemed to fly by. January in South Texas this year has been mild. It is 65F outside right now. My American Red Maple Trees are in full bloom. The red flowering quince is spectacular and in full bloom. One elm tree has budded out. So there is every indication that Spring has arrived at Kates Cabin Bird Sanctuary! A freeze is expected on Saturday, so we will see what happens!
I would like to remind all of you to take notice this Spring of all the wonderful trees and flowers bursting forth with New Life. All life on Earth is important and connected. Make time in your busy life for yourself to go on personal retreats for a day, an hour, sometime even a few moments will do; just to give yourself time for reflection.
Your photostudy tonight is of some of the things I am looking forward to in February! The Texas Redbuds will be the next tree to give us a show! Then the peach trees. Already activity around the Sanctuary is increasing with the arrival of new birds everyday and the insects returning. Roses are popping out everywhere. The next 2 months is the greatest for my woodland garden featuring the flowering Dogwood Trees. We will have a very colorful time here on blogger this Spring. Happy February!! Enjoy.
The following photos are from last spring here in my garden. The Redbud Trees produce the flower first in spring, before the leaves come out.
