		<description><![CDATA[This spring in Central Texas is the most colorful that we have had in years. Not only are there greater numbers and a larger variety of wildflowers this year, they are also much larger and more deep in color than I have ever seen. Every day brings new discoveries and more brilliant displays. We have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every summer for the past ten or so I have said to myself, surely this summer won't be as hot and dry as last summer, but unfortunately that just hasn't turned out to be the case. According to <a href="http://blogs.kxan.com/weather/2009/07/16/relief-coming-both-near-and-long-term/">Jim Spencer at KXAN</a>, the summer of 2009 has already been the hottest summer on record so far, with more than 30 days over 100 degrees F. Add to that the fact that we have also had almost no rain for the past six weeks (see the drought map below), we remain in the worst drought that we have seen here for years. All in all, this makes for some terribly challenging growing and gardening conditions.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Trellis construction is now complete and it looks really good. We found some copper covered post caps which tie in with the copper roofs of the bird houses that are mounted on the taller posts on either side of the stairs that lead to the lower garden. In keeping with the copper accents, I found some string lights with copper shades which I may purchase to string under the trellis, but I haven't made up my mind on that purchase yet.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We spent all weekend working on the retaining wall and the grotto area in the southwest corner of the courtyard. Progress was good despite 20-30 mph winds both days (I hate wind). At this point you can really see how the newly created areas lay out and create the transition from the courtyard area to the raised be gardens below.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our valley is more colorful this year than I can ever remember it. I don&#8217;t know what determines the level of color in our native trees, but we have had very little rain here since last May, very hot summer temperatures, and a very mild fall so far. The red oaks seem to get more [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fall gardening is in full swing here, despite the warm afternoon temperatures. We have had a couple of mornings in the 40s this past week, which feels pretty brisk first thing in the morning, but by 9 am it is already getting warm. I was out harvesting jalapenos and tomatoes for salsa-making this afternoon when [...]]]></description>
