When it starts to get really hot here in Le Sud de Texas, and I see these fabulous blogs of people gardening in California with their Foxglove, Peonies, Roses I miss living in a cooler climate.
Then when it gets hot as the dickens around here these gorgeous things bloom.
They are Crepe Myrtle trees and they are prolific in Texas.Trimmed on the bottom they look elegant....But look at these "Country"Crepe Myrtles.....!!!!!!!
Humongous! See how close those power lines are?
Colors: Red, Cranberry, Pale Pink, Fuschia, Purple and White. These will grow up and look like a big line of color someday.
I love the white ones... This one in fron of the Ingleside B&B in Brenham.
Nice car....(mine) HAHA!

These last two photos are in the lovely front yard across the street from our house, the old Jacobs House....(we can live there 50 years and it will still be called the old Jacobs House)
We see this view out our front window, they belong to our lovely neighbor Elaine.You may have tasted her family's delicious salad dressing, Brianna's. Thanks Elaine, for the view and thanks for keeping us supplied with Champagne Caper Vinagrette..Yum!
Oh, if you like a fresh fish recipe we marinate Halibut or Sea Bass or other firm fish in the dressing and coat with Panko Flakes and bake...DEEE-LISH!!!
