So beautiful, roxsol!

Thanks Annie.

Hit the road two days early to beat the ice and snow storm. Taking kiddo back to school in the mountains at the crack of dawn.

Just taken. Spent blooms with new buds forming. It had already bloomed in November.

Family portrait, Dec 26, 1981 - photo taken by my BIL on the family farm in central Texas. Not my natural hair color. I'm wearing pink plastic shoes from Greece, slacks from Brazil, skinny belt from women's dept at Neiman-Marcus, pink & gold socks from the Funny Farm Boutique in San Francisco, and a simple pastel pink button down shirt. I took my pink sunglasses off for this photo.

A pink vase that the previous owner left behind.

Lars, my husband just gave me the whole run down on what type of tractor that is. That’s all that he could see in your picture.🙄

Jasdip, mine (about the same size) is doing the same thing and is full of blooms right now. The large white one had only a few new blooms. Go figure.

I think Carmelita (the Havanese) was either 2 or 3 months old. With the exception of the black and chocolate colors, all that color fades as they get older.

Roxal, it is a McCormick Farmall, and the cab had air conditioning, as it gets very hot in Texas. My father also had John Deere tractors, which were green with yellow accents. I gave my father a book on tractors one Christmas, which he liked very much. I think my father preferred Farmall to John Deere, but I liked the John Deere store because they sold toy models of the tractors, and I collected those as a child and played with them.
