Spring in West Texas is interesting. This year, spring officially started shortly after noon on March 20, 2014. Hmmmm. The weather did not change much. But amazingly, the trees responded: All of a sudden the trees that bloom did so within just a few hours of the official arrival of spring! This is amazing to me. But, it usually happens every year in Texas.
The locals tell us that the mesquite trees tell us if we have had a final freeze or not: The mesquite trees do not leaf out or blossom until after the final freeze occurs. There is a mesquite tree down the street from where I live, and I need to check to see its status.
