They are not quite as eye catching as a field of colorful tulips, but every Spring the Texas landscape becomes more colorful than it is for the other three seasons, with the blooming of wildflowers, of multiple types and colors.
Above you are seeing some Evening Primroses which have sprouted out of the ground since the last time I walked around Sikes Lake.
Yesterday, when Linda Lou rode to Walmart with me, my vehicle's temperature monitoring thermometer said the temperature was 106. My phone said it was 102. It felt like 125.
Today's walk around Sikes Lake was only slightly HOT, temperatured into the mid 80s.
Texas is in a state of severe drought. This may limit the amount of color the wildflowers will be blooming this year.
The Sikes geese were being frisky today. One hissed at me, another seemed to be chasing me. I think the hot weather and a lot of green stuff to eat is making the geese overly energetic.
Soon flocks of goslings and ducklings should be making their annual appearance...
