We've had this daisy for nearly two years. This is the first time it has bloomed. Impressive, no?

Margaritaville

I hope we go somewhere that has good margaritas. *smile*

The weather here has been too good to be true. Even for Texas it is unusual to be having all these days in the 80's this late in the year . .normally we have a handful, but I think we've broken some record that was set in 1923. The roses seem to love the cooler weather and are budding out like crazy. I hope they have an opportunity to burst into full bloom before we get a good frost.

We finally put our bulbs back in the ground last weekend. The silly things are confused and are growing big time. Already they are taller than the pansies (which are, of course, gorgeous). The bulbs in the pots are behaving . I dug around in the mums, the violas and the snapdragons and see no unruly bulbs. My grape hyacinths did that last year, just started growing like they knew what they were doing. They did, however, wait until the spring to bloom. I can live with that.

I've gotten some disappointing news from my sister. She was planning to make a short trip here late this week from Jacksonville, FL . .but had to cancel. Her husband is a Commander and lost two men over in the Gulf -- not a war thing, an accident of some sort. In any event, she's not coming and I'm disappointed.

Thanksgiving looks like it might turn out to be a good turnout. Although Dede and her family nearly always come, it has been a number of years since her brother, Chuck, has attended our gathering. That will bring us up to eighteen for sure with a possible eight or so more. Should be fun.

We went to our favorite neighborhood Mexican food place and the margaritas were great!
